Thanks for your patience

To my wonderful clients:
As some of you may know, I am in the early weeks of pregnancy (again) and feeling aweful. I usually get very sick so I hope you will understand my "taking a break" from business for while. I have decided to take time off till August 15th of 2009. At the time I will start scheduling appointments again. I am sorry but I must take care of my health and my children first.

Please know that if you have photos that need to be posted or ordered, I am working as on them as I can. My internet has been down for 2 weeks - between that and being as sick as I am, I haven't made it to the computer ver much. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding. I hope you know how much I have loved working with you.

Till 2009!

Funky kind of fun

Oh my gosh - I don't have the words to say how much I loved this session. I have never had this much fun and this many great shots...ever. What do you do when all 500 turned out awesome?

This cute girl did her own thing the entire time - she kept herself moving and tried many new things...and because of it - she has AWESOME pictures!!! I kept telling her I wanted to take her with me from now on to show everyone else what they should do. She was beautiful - and her clothes were just funky enough to give her photos personality and flare. Check out her eyes...isn't she just gorgeous? Well Katie - it's taken a long time, but here's your little sneak peak! The others are coming soon! :)

So much sweetness!

This little girl was chosen as one of our models. She was absolutely adorable! I don't usually have THIS much fun on a photoshoot - but she just brought out the kid in me. I let her just play and do her own thing - only a couple of times I had to ask her to look at me. But other then that, everything she did on her own was beautiful and fun! We talked about silly stuff and we saw a lot of birds...it was just fun! There is a lot of personality packed into this little person - she sure did love to giggle! Here's your sneak peak!

Long time no post!

I have been so busy - sorry for the lack of postings!

Here is a sweet little family who's photos I took almost 3 weeks ago! They were fun - the kids really enjoyed laughing and playing. And they were smart to bring a family member along to stand in the background and make the kids giggle.

I love this photo of his head on her shoulder - how sweet! :)

Welcome Baby

This little boy was only 2 weeks old when we took these...and he was soooooo sweet. He was very alert for only 2 weeks - he wanted to be awake most of the time. :) Again, it made me baby hungry - ahhhh!!! :P So here's a little sneak peak of baby Kiegan!

It's Family Time!

Oh my gosh - this was such a sweet little family! This baby is SO adorable - she was happy, laughing, and drooling like you wouldn't believe! :) And mom and dad love her so much - you can just tell. And I love that. They were so willing to have some fun, be casual, and even play a little. So Romrell family, here's your sneak peak! Hope you like 'em!

Bright & Beautiful

WOW! What an adorable girl! She was so much fun to take pictures of - she even did a little dancing! :) I LOVE these! Doesn't she look like she belongs in a magazine? These locations were perfect for her clothing choices too! And I'm excited that now I get to take photos of her whole family tomorrow - so stay tuned for more cute pix!

Out in the country

This cute family happens to know my mother-in-law! The mom called me the other day and asked if she could get some family shots done before her son heads off to collage - "you bettcha!" was my response to that! And I was SO excited when she said she wanted a wheat field! (that's just my style!) So, despite the wind, we got some pretty good ones. Here's a funny shot of the daughter sniffing a flower!

And here's a couple more that I like. I LOVE the family shot (and I don't admit that very often). I now wish it were of my family - I'd print it HUGE for my home. I like the colors of the sun setting, the serious look, everything! And the one of the girls - I really like the wind in their hair - it makes them look so natural!

Holiday Cards!

I know what you're thinking..."It's too faw away! It's still summer!" But as a photographer, we start thinking about Christmas just after Valentines Day! I have spent many hours trying to find a collection of cards I want to offer this year. And I FINALLY found them. So - here's the photos of what we have to offer for our 2008 Holiday cards!

They are a little hard to see here, so to view them all closer, just go to the website http://www.taramillerphotography.com/ and click on the "client proofing" - once there, find the 2008 holiday cards and click on it. That will take you to where you want to be!

These cards all come in a matt (smooth) or Linin (textured) surface. Envelopes ARE included.

One Stormy Night

Well - I ventured out to Rexburg to take photos of this sweet family and it was SO stormy. It's never a good thing when you think you're going to have light, and then a big black cloud covers it up! But we made do - and got some cute ones. This mom just had a baby 2 weeks ago and looks AMAZING!!! Wouldn't you just love to have those legs after 2 kids? :)

I had so much fun with this family - they were easy going, natural, loving and fun! And their little girl had eyes that could melt your heart. Here's a little sneak peak! Maybe I'll post more later! I love this family shot - you can just feel the love that they share!

The sweetness of a newborn

Oh I love the sweetness of a new little baby. I had the chance to take these for a friend a few weeks ago and it made me so baby hungry! :) She was so wonderful and cute...and I know her mom and dad are so thankful that she's here! I wanted to share a few - how can anyone resist looking at such a sweet baby!?!? ;) Enjoy!

What do you get...

when you mix a gorgeous family and beautiful fields? Super cute family photos! I love these guys - they were so sweet and their little guy did pretty darn well for being as tired as he was. The field in Idaho are looking perfect right now - I really enjoyed this "farm land" photo shoot! Enjoy this little taste of what we got!
