Merry Christmas from Tara Whittaker Photography.

NYC always provides an excellent backdrop for portraits. We stopped for family portraits at a number of places including the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue. I had never been and it is a beautiful building with unique architectural features.

New York City is always wonderful but Christmas just raises it to a whole new level. We took a family vacation to relax and soak in the holiday spirit. These are few festive images that I took along the way.

I spent Sunday afternoon with my dear friend and her family. We had great ambitions of shooting outdoors at Eau Claire for that “Winter Wonderland” feel. Well Winter Wonderland turned to a heavy snowfall warning so we made our way to the Calgary Winter Club instead. Merry Christmas and Aloha!

I’m very excited to offer Finao One albums to my customers. I was introduced to Finao back in May and recently received my first studio samples. I am over-the-top impressed with this company and with their products. Check out this canvas-bound studio sample made from images of Jenni and Dan’s summer wedding.

A few months back, I travelled to Texas to photograph the family of a dear friend. She and her husband have 4 beautiful children – two of whom are 2 year-old twins. In spite of a blazing hot Texas day, we managed to get some great images. One of the twins had her first “brain freeze” while guzzling a Sonic slushie post photo shoot.

This is a photo from a fall trip to Kelowna. In all of my trips to Kelowna, I have never visited the Father Pandosy Mission before. What a great place with amazing backdrops for photo shoots. We happened to catch it on a beautiful fall day with beautiful light. This is light reflected through the window of the “Brother’s House” which housed antique washing machines, cream separators etc.
