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!!
Twentynine Palms Photographer
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!
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??
Jake Culver’s Senior Session 2014
I have felt so blessed this past month with all the Wildcat Seniors that I have photographed!
Meet Jake he is a Wildcat Senior who is a scholar and athlete. Jake plays football, basketball, and now track. He is college bound with a stellar GPA and all around a nice guy. We had fun wondering around Twentynine Palms looking for new locations, backgrounds and textures to photograph during this session. He was a good sport most of the time 🙂
I have been lucky enough to not only watch Jake grow up over the last few years but to also consider his family friends so his mom and I thought pictures could go on forever; he on the other hand thought we were done.
If you look through just even these peeks you will see we got a LOT of great images!

Wildcat Senior Zach
Zach is another one of those Wildcat seniors that I have had the personal pleasure of knowing through out the years! I have watched this young man grow and become this wonderful person you see before you here.
We picked a few locations so we could capture some of the things Zach has enjoyed throughout his time in Twentynine Palms and as part of these 4 years.
As an avid runner for both track and cross country we had to include his running shoes, that letter mens jacket full of hard earned patches and the track that he was finally able to use in his senior year!
Thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to work with you and capture this special time in your life!
Lady Wildcats, Our fun Photo Shoot
Meet this year’s Lady Wildcats, these three young ladies are the team captains. Although the season is over I am very excited to share this session, it is always one of my favorites!
Every year these young ladies amaze me with their hearts and willingness to lay it all out on the field in the name of their love for the game of soccer and each other as a team.
So these next few are just a small example of how silly these girls can be and how much they enjoy each other and their time as soccer sisters!! 
I am going to miss watching my own daughter playing out there with these girls but I look forward to watching them each grow as young women and players!
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!
Hailee’s Dance Party
Of course so much fun goes into silly props and pictures but add a room full of 9 year old girls, celebrating a birthday at a dance party and you have the combination for GREAT photos and tons of FUN! I have worked with the Jenkins family bunches so of course I was super excited when they asked me to help commemorate this birthday!
One of the best things about this age; they are still so comfortable with who they are and they enjoy just having fun together.
The girls were all having a blast, dancing, dressing up and tumbling; they also found lots of new looks to share with the camera!
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.
