Wallace Pregnancy Photos

One of the cutest ladies I know. I couldn't pass up doing her pregnant photos when she asked. I am so glad I didn't. I love them. Hope you do too, Beth.

Moreland Family






Another great family! I know Melissa since she works at the Elementary school. Her family is just as great as she is! Thanks for a fun afternoon!

Broussard Family

These are my neighbors. We met them a few years ago at a block party. Then we purchased their trampoline from them (of which we are still very grateful). And now, since I'm up at the elementary school all the time, I get to see her all the time!
Love this family! They are great! We had so much fun!

Anderson Families

I love large families...and with nine kids, I think they qualify. Eighteen was the number of the day, and it was eighteen times the fun. Thanks guys!

The T Family

This family was awesome! We almost got rained out, it was cold and windy, but I hope it was well worth it. It was for me. So glad I got to take these pictures and meet this family. They were great!

The "H" Family






Love kids who tell it like it is! And the oldest little man (no not dad), told me that the only way he would smile, is if I farted.
I told him that I could only burp on command but that wasn't "gross enough".
LOL! Boys!

Here is a sneak peek that I promised Lisa. Hopefully I can sit down and finish the rest tomorrow.

Not all photographers make money!

Not long ago, I had a young man ring my doorbell in hopes to sell me a "miracle" cleaning solution. It seemed to work well, and in a house with 5 children I was intrigued....until he told me the price. It was well out of my budget and I had to admit, the cleaner would fall under the "want" category rather than a "need".

I gave the young man, a "thank you, but no thank you" response, explaining that I just couldn't afford it. His response startled me. He pointed out to my car and said, "I see you own your own a photography business, how do you not have enough money?" A little offended by the implication that I was lying, I just stated the honest truth. "It seems that the first thing to go in a these difficult economic times, are family photos." It's a sad truth, but a truth nonetheless.

So I've decided to make it a little easier for those who still want family photos. I am lowering my prices. Not only to help other, but I've also made a commitment to learn more about photography. I've learned that taking more pictures, is the best way to learn. So I'm hoping that with the lower prices, I will have more photo sessions.

For a limited time only, I am lowering my prices to $50.00

This still includes:
* 1 hour photo shoot at a location of your choice (within 20 miles)
* Photo proofing (croppign, enhancing, black and white, etc)
*a CD with 20-25 photos from your session with a permission to print form allowing you to have your photos printed at any locaion of your choosing.

If you are interested, please contact me at my email address:

tarabrooksphotography@yahoo.com

Thank you, and I hope to have more pictures up soon.

Mis padres....



If you know my parents, you know they are pretty awesome.
My dad is down to earth, organized, and has a sly, sarcastic sense of humor. Not many people know if he is teasing or serious. My advice has always been, if his mouth is moving, he's teasing.
My mom on the other hand is a fly-by -the-seat-of-your-pants type of person. She is fun and spontaneous.
Both of them will bend over backwards for their children and grandchildren (and they do that on a daily basis). They have always been my hero's and I have always strived to be a perfect mixture of the two of them.
These pictures don't even do them justice. They are beautiful people inside and out.
I love you mom and dad. Happy LATE 43rd Anniversary.
