Twentynine Palms Family Photographer {Nielsen Family}

What is a family looking for in a photography session and how do they find it?  There are different levels of talent and experience, there are different art forms and perspectives so it is important to find that photographer that can deliver what you envision.  I hope I capture that for the families I work with each and every time.

Courtney and I scheduled and rescheduled this session which happens when working in real life but am I ever so glad we got our schedules together.  Unbeknownst to me we work our session in on their 7th wedding anniversary which makes it that much more exciting to capture some of what they have experienced and created together.

Boy did we have fun!!  I always want to create beautiful pictures but I also strive to have an enjoyable experience so with three little ones in tow we needed to stay moving, keep their attention and have some fun; we did exactly that.  Courtney has a beautiful and sweet family full of love and laughter.  We captured a little piece of each personality throughout our time together and I wish you all continued happiness!Twentynine Palms Family Photographer -NielsenTwentynine Palms Family Photographer -Nielsen2

{ Erickson Family } Twentynine Palms Family Photographer

The Ericksons were on their way out of Twentynine Palms for a military move so we captured some great images for them to commemorate  the time here and hopefully help decorate their new home.  Family sessions in the Joshua Tree National Park inevitably mean we will be doing some rock climbing, generally more than mom and dad had planned 🙂 ; this session was no different.  With little adventurous ones we had fun finding new spots, on new rocks, that we could photograph both the beauty of this family as well as, the amazing desert setting.

As moms we often miss the opportunity to capture ourselves and our relationships with those in our family; it is something that I always encourage my moms to – I myself am bad about it.  Mom rocked her portraits like a star in this session.  Bet the hubby has one of these in his wallet before too long.  We also took a few brief moments to capture mom and dad not as parents but as a couple.  These two were fun and endearing to one another creating amazing pictures but also emoting their love and friendship.  These are the moments that I live for and are why I am so in love with what I do ❤

{ Ian and Shelley } Twentynine Palms Engagement Photographer

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!Twentynine Palms Photographer, Yucca Valley Photographer, Twentynine Palms Engagement Photography, Yucca Valley Engagement Photography 1 Twentynine Palms Photographer, Yucca Valley Photographer, Twentynine Palms Engagement Photography, Yucca Valley Engagement Photography 2

{ Santiago Maternity Session } Twentynine Palms Maternity and Newborn Photographer

Once again this business has put my path with some just beautiful people and I don’t just mean in front of my camera.  These two were so fun and endearing to shoot with for their maternity session in the Morongo Preserve and I can not wait for that baby girl with all the pink lace and pearls, that I am sure she will be wearing in the hospital, to get here.  Photogenic and full of ideas we had fun venturing through the paths and chronicling this exciting time in this family’s life.  Their love and enjoyment of each other obvious in the way they looked at one another and were playful together. Also noted through our communications and time together their intense love for this little one who is about to bless their world, their families and God.  Thank you for sharing this time with me Santiago Family!

Twentynine Palms Photographer { George Family Session }

This cute little family wanted to make sure they took a piece of the desert with them when they left so we spent some time taking photos at the Indian Cove Amphitheatre.  Their 7 month old sweetheart wasn’t sure he was too excited about our plans but gave several good images with a great setting.  I wish them luck in all their future endeavors and I hope these images remind them of their one time home.

Twentynine Palms Photographer { Smith Family Homecoming }

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!

Twentynine Palms Photographer { Thompson Family 2015 }

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!
