Tara Thackeray Photography

This year, I had the opportunity to photograph a group of friends who really know how to have a good time. The annual themed photoshoot they organize is a great way to showcase their creativity and love for Halloween and all things fall! The sexy scarecrow theme is certainly a unique and playful concept! I love that this group of ladies do this every year! Seriously #friendgoals The laughter was contagious with this group. It's always great to have a fun and relaxed atmosphere during a photoshoot, it helps to capture genuine emotions and expressions. 

Last winter, I photographed Brett and Heathers wedding at the Grant House  in Vancouver, WA. It was a joyful intimate wedding with Brett and Heathers closest friends and family. I liked Heather as soon as I met her. She loves to laugh and is so genuinely nice. Her energy was contagious and I was thrilled when she chose me as her wedding photographer. Their wedding was full of emotions. I could sense their true love and the love of their friends surrounding them and lifting them up in prayer during their ceremony.  1 year later, they asked me to do anniversary photos. I loved the idea! What a fun way to celebrate their first year of marriage-- and they are so cute!  Both very much in love and full of laughter. So we went out on a very cold and windy day to do their session. We were all freezing. Our hands were numb and our faces red from the cold. I suggested we go somewhere warm where we could grab coffee before we go back out to shoot. So we wound up at a local favorite of mine dow
