I love maternity sessions; I love babies so I was super excited when Katrina and Will decided to let me capture their new adventure. Since they are here on a short military tour they wanted to make sure to capture the beauty of the desert; the birth place of their new life together as mom and dad! With baby due to arrive soon be on the look out for more gorgeous images of this family.
8 month old twins, mom and dad, the park what a good morning. These two weren’t too sure that they wanted to participate in our photo session but through some playing and fun they got on board. They couldn’t have been cuter and this session was pretty awesome since this family was just reunited after a long deployment. These little guys were all about mommy and daddy, big smiles, some shoulder time, the swings and we captured a little piece of their story!
Maggie and Greg were a fun spirited couple that wanted to capture their relationship in an image. We wondered through the Big Canyon Morongo Preserve, making Greg feel a little at home with the marshy setting and we captured some great photos. They were playful, affectionate and had some fun in front of the lens. Enjoy!
As their family’s adventures were taking them across the world to Italy they wanted to capture a piece of their time here in the beautiful desert. Despite the windy conditions they showed dressed in gorgeous colors and ready to have some fun. We did a little climbing, maybe some bribing and most definitely some great picture capturing. Capturing the National Park was important because they enjoyed many times climbing and hiking while stationed here. I’m glad I was able to send a little piece of the desert with them!
These two drove all the way from fort Irwin to hang out with me in Twentynine Palms for their maternity session. They are both super cute and playful so there are lots of images with big smiles and laughter. They welcomed their baby girl into the world yesterday and I can’t wait to meet her!
This family wanted to capture where their little man was today. At an age where sitting still really is never an option we had to adapt and move to capture him with the camera. Okay so we may have tried to trap him as well 🙂 the slide seemed to be the trick that worked. We captured a few quick family shots as well to recognize this part of their lives as they transition into the next.
So this big guy, Frank the Tank, and I have been hanging out for a while now. I have had the pleasure of photographing his family for years and him since his newborn session! If you look closely you will see he carries the nickname Frank the Tank but he is just a big love except when we feed him cake or try to take his picture. Now in all fairness to him I think his dad conspires against us to get this guy to smile on picture day but that’s ok we always make it work and we always get the picture 🙂 I’m so glad I have been able to watch him grow and look forward to being there when it’s time for his Senior Pictures ❤
So these two were adventurous for their engagement session with me; we met before the sun came up and began our small hike into this beautiful arch! In tow we had some outfit changes, a picnic basket with champagne and chocolate what more could we ask for? These two were fun, loving and produced some amazing images! Thank you for sharing this great time with Memories by Tasha!
There is always a special place in my heart for homecomings. I will say it every time there is so much energy and emotion in the air; it’s exciting, it’s nerve wracking, and it’s all about being back together again. These girls were no different. The 3 year old full of energy while she ran and played waiting with her mom full of excitement and nerves. This Marine was able to sneak up behind us in the sea of camouflage and surprise his girls!
Okay so can you see oh my cuteness for this family and these smiles? Our cheeks hurt by the time we were done because how do you not smile back at these two. Moriah contacted me wanting to get a session done for her family and we were able to get together in the Morongo Preserve a few Saturdays ago. Walking the trails, taking in the setting and a beautiful, fun loving family always makes for a great day. We took the time, with the girls help of course, to get some nice shots of mom and dad too. In love with their family, each other and their girls; it shows!! Thank you Thompson family for letting hang out with you for the afternoon!
