Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!!

~Tara Maddox Photography~

Sorry I haven't blogged, but the photo biz has been busy this time of the year. Back in November, I had several Christmas sessions and then in December, I had Story Time with Santa, which was a very big success. I would like to thank all my friends and clients who helped make this possible. Here's a few from the Story Time with Santa....... As you can tell some of the kids loved Santa and others wasn't too sure about it.

A Day with Santa

Look who showed up at Tara Maddox Photography this weekend. We had so much fun during this session. Hope you enjoy the show! Santa will be returning on November 30. He will be here from 2-4p.m. If interested in a session with Santa contact us at tolastforever@bellsouth.net. ~Tara~

"Capturing Special Moments to Last Forever"

I LOVE my BIG Brother

As you all know, Jackson isn't going to sit still or look at the camera these days. I guess it's my fault since the first year of his life, I had the camera in his face. Well, now since he won't be my little model, Hannah has taken over as the model. As you look at these few pictures on this post, Hannah is looking at her BIG BROTHER and in some even making faces at him. She can't keep her eyes off of him....she's taking notes so she can be just like him when she gets older!!!!LOL Anyway, big brother helped me by getting his sister to look and he even got her to laugh in one. There is no doubt that the two of them love each other....You can see it in her eyes!

Dennis the Menace

Photographers you know how hard it is to get those "toddlers" to sit still through a photo session, but my little Dennis the Menace decided he would sit on a prop as I was getting things set up for a session. Now if I had been wanting to get this picture, he would have been standing on top of his head. Isn't it amazing how toddlers have a mind of their own!!!!!!

My Little Baby Doll

At times I feel like I'm living as a little girl playing with dolls. I had a moment to get some pics of my little doll and thought I'd share with you all. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but I've been busy trying to get caught up with all the business stuff of TMP. Hopefully since the wedding season has slowed down, I can get a few more of my little one's posted and let you all have a peek of how much they are GROWING!!!!

Amanda & John

Here's a video of a few images of a recent wedding. Amanda & John were extremely a sweet couple and I enjoyed spending the day with them capturing their special moments. Best Wishes Amanda & John!

Also, I would like to thank Beth and Dianne at Rainbow Manor Wedding Chapel for making all my experiences this year and in the past at Rainbow Manor...PERFECT! Thanks Beth & Dianne!

It's a Girl

My first photo session of a baby shower!!!!!! It was so much fun and I enjoyed capturing those special moments of Jesse & Megan. Jesse & Megan are expecting their first baby girl in October 2008. They were showered with many gifts along with all their friends & family. Special thanks to all the girls at KC's Hair Design for hosting this wonderful baby shower. Good luck Jesse & Megan! And K.C. don't spoil her when she gets here! Here are just a "few" images I captured.

Little Cutie

Isn't this little fellow handsome? He's like most 2 year olds...never still. I just let him do his own thing and captured the moment. I bet those blue eyes can get anything he wants from mom! Sessions with these little toddlers are fun. Session like these I get plenty of exercise!

Kristen & Jordan

Here a few from Kristen and Jordan's wedding. This couple was awesome! Thanks Kristen and Jordan. I wish you many years of happiness.

We Love Maw Maw

I'm going to try to keep this blog updated, but remember I'm a stay at home mom with a two year old and a six month old, also do photography work and do part-time work from home, so if I forget, I will catch up eventually. I first want to share a couple of pictures I made of my kids with their great grandmother aka "maw maw." Jackson and Maw Maw are big buddies. They hold a very tight bond. Maw Maw has been a blessing to our family the past couple of years. She has gotten so close to my kids and Jackson loves his Maw Maw....BIG MUCH. Thanks Maw Maw!

Welcome to my blog!

I'm excited to announce that I have a blog. It seems all of my other photographer friends are blogging (they must have more spare time than I do). I'm going to try my best to keep everyone posted on upcoming events and promotions. Also, I will be posting some of my work from each sessions. For now I haven't gotten this site linked to my website http://www.tolastforever.com/, but it should be linked within a few weeks. The first few post on the blog will probably be my own personal ones. Thanks to all of my supporters!!! Keep checking back for new post and also check with the website for new pictures too.
