AboutTara Swain

Hi, I'm Tara! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in Paris, Texas. I love bright colors, a vintage, eclectic feel and whimsical ideas. My passions are weddings and child photography. My favorite color is green, my favorite movie is "The Man in the Moon," I'm NOT a morning person, I've been happily married for 6 years with a beautiful 1 year old little girl and I love to blog!!


Sweet Mr. Morgan is already 9 months. I told Ashley, I kept having to remind myself that this WAS his 9 month session.. and not his 6 month session!! This is the smiliest he’s been for me so far and I was SO excited. I love this little family. Mel and Briley even got to play after Morgan’s session!! We had so much fun. Cannot believe his next session will be the big 1 year mark!

So as crazy as everything has been here lately, I haven’t had time to update the blog about the progress on the studio!! Forgive the quality of the images.. these are all camera phone shots. I haven’t had a chance to really go in and get good shots, but I DEFINITELY will once it’s finished and we have everything moved in. :D I’ve ordered a bunch of new items to use in the studio and redoing a few old ones. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see it all FINALLY come together. :) All the details coming with the final post when everything is set up! :D

Only things left to be finished.. the bathroom, floors throughout studio, prop closet (almost finished) and a little more painting in the main studio. :)
