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.

Run for the Warriors 5K in San Diego, CA
I’ve said it before, photography has brought so many things into my life; so many blessings. Hope For The Warriors is a charity that started providing services to our injured service members as they came home forever changed by their time serving. Just with any other charity they began slowly but over the years they have expanded their opportunity to serve by offering programs for service members, family members, want to expand your knowledge of adventure – they cover that too through offering excursions where modifications are made to support handicapped participants, the list goes on and on. I was given the opportunity to photograph one of their fundraising activities. This was the first year visiting the west coast for a Run for the Warriors 5k in San Diego. This 5k was ran or walked along the embarcadero in gorgeous conditions and I couldn’t have felt more blessed than to have participated, thank you for all you do! I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Adela and Juniors Engagement Session
When I met Adela to discuss her upcoming wedding day and the photography I knew I had met a genuine person. Her smile lights up a room and when I met her fiancé Junior I saw that they both had amazing smiles, our engagement session in San Diego was full of laughs. As we walked around the Embarcadero, changing scenery for different backdrops one thing was obvious; these two enjoy each other and are excited for the future that’s only around the corner. Yesterday I photographed the big day, what an amazing experience as a photographer and someone in awe of all the culture and customs their families share. Be on the lookout for more about Adela and Junior as we follow them onto their wedding day!

Etherington Family Session
While this family is new to Twentynine Palms as their zip code they have been vacationing in the monument for some time so they were excited to shoot a photo session in Indian Cove. These fun kids were ready to climb every rock and jump from spot to spot! Even mom, baby bump and all was fearless in ensuring we used the scenery to it’s fullest extent. I am so glad they picked me to start off their new journey and to celebrate the soon to be addition to their growing family. Welcome to the desert Etherington Family!

Twentynine Palms Photographer – Engagement Sessions – Megan & Niko
This session was full of laughter and endearing moments between this soon to be wedded couple. There is nothing more satisfying for this photographer than to capture raw emotion. I felt the love between these two with each image I edited and the bonus was in the way they smiled and made each other laugh. Congratulations Megan and Niko, I can’t wait to photograph your very special day.

Emma turns One!
Cake Smash sessions are always fun and so unique! Emma’s was no different, she isn’t quite one yet so this was her first cake smash and she went for it! We had a nice session in the Joshua Tree National Monument, we snuck in a mini family session and then Emma was dressed for her 4th of July birthday for a cake smash.
Twentynine Palms Photographer – Ben and Ashley
My sessions always touch my heart and make me feel blessed to capture some moment in time but when I get to photograph my nephew and his girlfriend as they begin a new chapter my heart overflows! Ben and Ashley are on a new adventure; they are moving away from California. My hopes and wishes for them are of course grand and what a better way to decorate a new residence than with some new couple’s photos!
Twentynine Palms Photographer – The Hemmingers say good-bye to 29
During a busy crazy day I left my step stool at Knotts Sky Park, a photographer shooting her own session that day was nice enough to pick it up for me, find me on the internet and call me so I could come get it! So awesome to find good people who will go out of their way to be nice; well her husband is getting out of the Marine Corps this week so what better gift than to do a session with them before they leave. I was a little nervous about how things would go photographing someone else who feels the same passion I do for photography but oh my did we have fun!! What a great couple and what a bunch of great images. The Hemmingers are leaving for new adventures and I wish them all the luck, I am so glad I met them and was able to capture one last peek of here for them.
Twentynine Palms Photographer – Welcome to the world baby Liam
I had the pleasure of photographing the Murray’s for their engagement session a few years ago and now they are welcoming another member of their family, baby Liam! As usual baby’s are awake when we want them asleep and asleep when we are trying to keep them awake but without some work these images wouldn’t hold all the personality of this little guy. The blue eyes on this little man match his older sister’s and are bound to add to his handsomeness, watch out girls he is going to be a charmer :)!
Twentynine Palms Photographer – Pierce Family Maternity Session
What a fun and energetic session. This two year old kept us moving every second of our time together; up, down, forward, backward, and rolling on the ground. Everyone in this family has these amazing blue eyes and I am so excited that we were able to capture them in these images. This was a maternity session that included a two year old session, lots of bubbles blown and I think we captured everything mom and dad were looking for. The Pierce family will be welcoming an addition soon and I can’t wait to meet her!
PS There is nothing better than the hugs of a two year old who had fun while you were chasing her through the grass with the camera.
