Here’s a little sunshine to brighten this rainy day ☀️ Morgan and Shaughn’s engagement session is on the blog! This truck previously belonged to Shaughn’s grandfather and I love that they wanted to incorporate it into their photos as a personal prop. These two are tying the knot this November at the @springsvenue in Weatherford and I can’t wait! Alway a fan of weddings in my hometown 😍 #tarabarnesphoto #weatherfordbrides
It’s that time of year again! Where everywhere else in the world leaves are starting to change 🍁, temperatures are starting to cool, but oh not Texas...Happy Fall! 😜 I’m thinking about offering mini sessions towards the end of the month in College Station and maybe a day in Fort Worth! Let me know if this is something you’d be interested in and which city you’d prefer! #tarabarnesphoto
Holler for hump day! I’ve got lots of weddings and sessions coming your way over the next few weeks for the blog. Julie and Andrew’s @ashtongardensdallas wedding is the first of many! I love the color combo of these gorgeous blue bridesmaid dresses! Can I have a wedding re-do!? 😜 #linkinbio #tarabarnesbride #bridetribe
Happy Monday! I have a full to do list with tons of editing and more from all the weddings I’ve photographed recently. On top of that the office remodel is still a work in progress and I’m hoping to wrap up the bulk of it this week 🤪 It’s been a little hectic not having a home base for my work and I forget to take time to be still and “just breath.” Working on the couch is great at first (and super comfy I might add), but it doesn’t lead to good work-life balance. Here’s to a productive week with time to stop, relax, and enjoy this beautiful weather we’ve been having. I’m not holding my breath (we do live in Texas for goodness sake so you never know what the weather is going to do) but I’m going to enjoy it while it’s here! Have a good week and remember to “just breath.” Lettering by @harleyquinnandco
It’s been an amazing weekend spent with this guy! Yesterday we worked on my office then double dated with friends in the evening. We spent this morning worshipping God then had lunch after with friends building one another up in our marriages. Honestly, when we first moved to Weatherford I was nervous about making new friends. We were moving to an unfamiliar area and we barely knew anyone. Now, almost a year and a half later, we’ve made more new friends than I could have dreamed of and I am beyond thankful. I’m falling in love with our little town and tribe more and more every day 💛 #lifeasabarnes
Ceiling painted ✔️ Sore arms ✔️ Fan installed (because Texas y’all) ✔️ Couch delivered ✔️ Shelves Built ✔️ The office is coming along nicely and I can’t wait to share the reveal when it’s finished! Next up we’re finishing the walls, staining the shelves, and hanging curtains! I was probably a site to see attempting to paint the ceiling by myself. I’m 5’4” and the ceiling is 9’. So tall the photo wouldn’t fit in instagram’s crop so I had to put it in a square. I think I can conquer anything now #believeandconquer 😂
“Photography is about capturing souls, not smiles” -Dragan Rapshanov - This quote has always inspired me to dig beyond just the “smiling looking at the camera photos” While I have a special place in my heart for traditional smiling photos, often my favorites from a session are those that capture the personality and emotions of the subject. I know that each couple’s wedding photos will tell their story for generations to come and that is a task I don’t take lightly! It brings me so much joy to know I’m preserving so many countless memories from a wedding day. - In case you missed it, Kat and Stu’s wedding day at @oldedobbinstation in Montgomery is on the blog! #linkinbio
Kat and Stu’s wedding day is live on the blog! These two met when Stuart was studying abroad at Texas A&M University #whoop He had come a long way from the UK and was determined to not fall in love with a Texas girl. As fate would have it, he met Kat and the two hit it off. They grew closer and ended up dating knowing it would be difficult living almost 5,000 miles and an ocean apart. Their wedding day was a long awaited joyful celebration of Katherine and Stuart becoming one after overcoming many obstacles! Many congrats to the newlyweds ❤️ I hope you enjoy living in the same house...let alone the same country! 😉 #linkinbio Tap for their awesome vendor team! #tarabarnesphoto #oldedobbinstation #lovestory
These lovely ladies will be hitting the blog tomorrow for Kat and Stu’s wedding! Their dresses have me dreaming of the holidays and they pop perfectly against that amazing green wall! Holler in the comments if you’re as ready for fall as I am 🙌 We got a sneak peek a couple of weeks ago, but the heat and humidity are back strong and I’m reminiscing of the day when I could open all the windows in my house. Fall, please come soon! 🧡
Cheering on @discipledesigns2819 over here as she’s celebrating her fall collection launch date! I’m wearing my “hope anchors the soul shirt today” and I love how comfy and cute her t-shirts are! I had a blast shooting her collection, and I hope you’ll take a peek at her new designs 😍 I can’t believe it’s already time for fall 🍁🧡 #discipledesigns #tarabarnesphoto #falllaunch
