Almost Happy Birthday Sophia! And happy Easter and Spring, so many great things to celebrate in this fun session out the Whitewater Preserve.
Now pay close attention to these beautiful shots where she is mostly sitting still because you know if you are the parent of a toddler they rarely do this and this blue eyed beauty is no exeption.
And of course we need to commemorate Sophia in action because I will tell you this is the second session we have had together and I am pretty sure she is ALWAYS in action 🙂 !
Last but not least sticks are hugely important so we needed to take a picture with one.
If you would like to commemorate your child’s birthday and age let’s talk!!
Family Photography Sessions
Twentynine Palms Newborn Photographer – Baby D
So this sweet little man was so snuggly and sleepy we were able to wiggle him into several positions and lots of props! I know his mom is excited to see all these amazing images; she wanted to make sure that she captured her little man while he was still so small!
I think he just might be ready to attend his first formal in this tie. This is the first time I have used this prop and I am totally in ❤ with the result.
Again sweetness over flowed for this session as he was really so very good at sleeping and looking cute! I think the below yawn was the only real fuss we got out of him for the day!
If you want to chronicle this time in your life please let me know so we can schedule your session!!
Cole Estrada Wildcat Senior 2014
Another senior session done! I have had so much fun this year with all these great seniors. So Cole and I have worked together a few times now and it keeps getting better. There are so many great shots from this session that I may have even over shared 🙂
These images are so significant for a variety of reasons first if you know the Estrada’s you know that they breathe football, all of them. Second, if you are familiar with our little town this is where Cole began and ended his youth football career first as a Storm player and finally as a Twentynine Palms High School Wildcat. His brothers pictured below are following in the same tradition. Finally this score board behind him was a bit in the making so to be the first graduating class to use this board also makes these images unique.
These great images were shot in his grandparent’s well decorated yard and turned out amazing. I think we finally have a good work understanding so taking pictures of Cole has become easy!
If you have had the pleasure of meeting this young man you have seen the amazing smile that he possesses but you also know that is a pretty serious young man at times!
This image is Cole’s original artwork as it hangs in our local Art Gallery. He is an extremely talented young man and I was very excited we were able to capture this image!
Bustamante Family Session 2014
This is the Bustamante Family! When mom contacted me about a family session she was excited to capture her growing family as they were and in their backyard where they are busy making memories! This fun little ship that dad built is where they adventure and climb.
They recently added one more member to the family to complete their threesome of itty bittys!
Dad spends his days as a Marine so it was super important that we captured that piece of who this family is so used new baby Bustamante to display this cover beautifully.
Our session was full of smiles, gummies, fun and of course bubbles 🙂
I don’t remember what exactly happened here but I am pretty sure it had something to do with the magic gummies that kept this young guy motivated during our session.
Thank you Bustamante family for choosing Memories by Tasha Photography to capture this time in your life! If you are interested in memorializing your family in time please contact me!
Liam’s ONE! It’s cake time.
This is Liam. He is about to turn one so of course it was fitting that we planned a session and cake smash to celebrate! A while back you can find Liam at about a month old when I first met him for his newborn pictures!
These baby blues have amazed me from the beginning! Oh my is there trouble to come from those because mom will not be able to say no and the girls will love them!
Capturing moments like this is one of my favorite things. Moments in time, smiles and giggles that are now captured forever!
Liam wasn’t so sure about the grass. There’s something funny about little ones with the new feel of grass. He kept lifting his feet up. unsure of what it was.
Is it cake time yet mom??
Rob and Andrea, The Family
So when Andrea contacted me about doing their first family photo I was super excited! There new adventure is a bit reminiscent of my family’s journey.
To say the boys in this family were simply here because they were told to arrive was an understatement but before too long they would be right in there with new posing ideas and fun pictures!
Making time to capture the ❤ that has brought this family together is always so important. It is easy when we are raising kids to forget to stop and look at one another for a moment! As you can see these two enjoyed that moment to the fullest, I couldn’t get them to now smile at each other!
It is also a great way to torture our children 🙂
This picture makes me smile! I can’t remember what these guys were doing but I love the fact that they are all laughing so hard and it shows!
This woman right here smiled and laughed in every picture. What an amazing way to walk through life it was a pleasure to work with Andrea and her family!
Segura Family Maternity Session in Indian Cove
Love, friendship, marriage, and family. What an awesome story to tell with images to your anticipated little one. Leticia contacted me about doing a maternity session and she was super excited to capture the joy, the excitement and the love that is contained within their relationship and awaiting their little baby boy bundle.
We adventured around the Indian Cove campground where smiles, laughter, and touching moments were a plenty. I love my job!!
There is always something awesome about being with people when they just enjoy smiling; the infectous smile of this momma to be was so much fun to look at over and over, picture after picture because they were just enjoying being together. That is where forever stories begin and shortly they will share that with one more! 
If you have a story to tell contact Memories by Tasha Photography!
Alexa’s 15!
Alexa turned 15 in August so when her mom asked if we could do a photo shoot I was excited. I of course believe everyone should do photo shoots for their birthdays :0). We spent some time in the Joshua Tree Monument with the massive rock formations and a beautiful young lady ; then we traveled to a local location with tons of color and texture. The glitter idea, that was Alexa’s but I have every intention of using it again because it came out gorgeous.
Pierce Family
The Pierce family is having an adventurous year; they are about to move to another country on military orders but were blessed with their second baby girl before the big move so, I was lucky enough to get the chance to photograph them for a second time before they leave. Daughter #1 and I had a great time at the maternity shoot so nothing was different this time. She is full of energy and smiles; so much fun to chase after and photograph. Little Miss #2 so sweet and adorable was only a week old when we had our photo shoot. And must we not forget to include the very first baby in this family; their fur baby who is great with the girls and was so good about us posing her in the pictures too. Thank you Pierce Family for once again choosing Memories by Tasha Photography and good luck on this new chapter.
Sprawka Family Session
When two people get married families multiply well meet the Sprawkas, they are part of our multiplication when my mom and Haley’s dad got married in April. I was very excited to get to spend some time hanging out in a true lifestyle session with this family. The boys got up in the morning, they were bribed with a frozen yogurt date if they behaved, and then they picked out their personality filled outfits for the photo shoot. The fun thing about lifestyle photography is that the intention is to capture a family, right where they are in that time – their dynamics, their relationships, their personalities and this session did just that. There are so many fun, chaotic, and loving images that came out of our time together that capture the Sprawka family – who they are, right now. I can’t wait; we already have a cake smash planned for November, be on the look out.
