WOW What a year 2016! – Memories by Tasha Photography

December 28, 2016memoriesbytasha Leave a comment

2017 has BIG things coming, I am beyond excited but before we move forward let’s take a moment to look back through this year of awesomeness!

Every year I am amazed at the collection of experiences I have through my lens. The emotions, the connections, the relationships, reunions, new life and existing bonds, the moments captured; I am never quite prepared for all that it is. The images before me never cease to inspire me to want to work harder for this business and for you my clients and friends.

Throughout the years, I have watched your families grow, change, send loved ones off to new adventures and reconnect again and again. I have met so many new people, made new friends, hung out with those visiting our beautiful desert while on vacation, snuggled the newest of babies, so many of my own stories and experiences are because of all of you. Capturing your love stories, your birth stories, your history and your hopes for tomorrow is always my honor and my goal.

In this year, I have shared with you 39 families. 4 weddings, 1 vow renewal, 2 military retirements, 7 life events, 1 birth, 8 mommas & daddies to be, 11 newborns, 6 seniors, 3 military families reunited, 6 cakes smashes, 1 tea party birthday celebration, 1 sunset father/daughter dance session and 8 sessions celebrating childhood milestones. I look at these collages and I am astonished at this year and the beauty that it has held.

Have I said lately how blessed I am to be invited into people’s lives to capture the exciting moments they have? If not let me tell you I am beyond blessed. This young man made the big change many of our military kiddos do; he changed schools just before beginning his senior year. In spirit of loving his circumstances and both schools we photographed his new home with some pieces of his old. With a letterman jacket littered with athletic patches Sam has made himself at home here in Twentynine Palms as a cross country runner and soon to be track athlete. We enjoyed fusing both old and new together in this session as we explored the beautiful Joshua Tree National Park, shared aspects of his love and future – The Marine Corps, found his dad so we could capture the workmanship of both in their love of an oldie but goodie. This session was packed with amazing elements. Thank you Robinson family for allowing me to memorialize these moments in time for your family!

Cole Estrada Wildcat Senior 2014

March 22, 2014March 21, 2014memoriesbytasha Leave a comment

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!

Jake Culver’s Senior Session 2014

March 11, 2014memoriesbytasha Leave a comment

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! If you are interested in your own personalized Senior Session please contact Memories by Tasha!

Wildcat Senior Zach

March 4, 2014memoriesbytasha Leave a comment

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! Twentynine Palms Photographer - High School Senior Photography - Zach Kanlong 4

Lady Wildcats, Our fun Photo Shoot

February 26, 2014February 25, 2014memoriesbytasha Leave a comment

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!

Twentynine Palms Photographer – Joanna’s Senior Session

May 27, 2013memoriesbytasha Leave a comment

Joanna is another one of those class of 2013 seniors that I have had the pleasure of watching grow up over the last several years! She is a beast at soccer and a beautiful young lady bound for greatness. This session included her personality and that of the fact that her boyfriend Byron also has a love of the game soccer. She will be adventuring off to Nevada for school and I expect to hear great things about her future. She was so excited to share her smile, brace free of course and I am glad to be able to help commemorate her final adventure in high school; graduation!

It’s Senior Year!! I have known Destiny for several years and I have been photographing her for a long while now. This by far has to be my favorite session, beautiful Destiny.
