I spent Sunday afternoon with my dear friend and her family. We had great ambitions of shooting outdoors at Eau Claire for that “Winter Wonderland” feel. Well Winter Wonderland turned to a heavy snowfall warning so we made our way to the Calgary Winter Club instead. Merry Christmas and Aloha!
A few months back, I travelled to Texas to photograph the family of a dear friend. She and her husband have 4 beautiful children – two of whom are 2 year-old twins. In spite of a blazing hot Texas day, we managed to get some great images. One of the twins had her first “brain freeze” while guzzling a Sonic slushie post photo shoot.
Last night I did an impromptu photo shoot of my brother’s family. In keeping with the season, I thought it would be fun to incorporate pumpkins into the shoot and boy, was I right. Here are some facts about pumpkins at photo shoots—they’re heavy, they roll and they will not sustain a fall from a porch, 4 feet off of the ground.
This was a timely shoot because I was wondering what to use for my very first blog entry for Tara Whittaker Photography. Welcome! The development of this new site has been an adventure and I’m so pleased with the results. Many thanks to Michelle Williamson of Command Create for her patience and creativity. Enjoy!
