It's that time of year again. Once school lets out, High School juniors across the nation begin planning for their senior year. One 
of the first things that needs to be done is getting your high school senior portrait made. This is an important milestone in a child's life--when they are on the cusp of adulthood. Usually the last formal portrait they get before getting married.
Our Springs Seniors division is where the focus is on the high school senior portrait. This is not your parents senior portrait session. We put the FUN back in senior portraits in Colorado Springs. Fun, creative and even a little edgy but definitely something that both the parents and the senior can be happy with.
If you have a member of the class of 2014 in your family or know one, send them our way. Remember, anyone you refer to us scores $50 off their session and you will receive $50 of studio credit to use how you wish. Call 719.475.0160 today to book your senior session. We offer session discounts in May, June & July.

We do quite a few newborn baby sessions each year. There are some constants in most of the sessions-- photos of mom and dad 
with baby as well as the newborn alone. That said, we do strive to be unique and make each session a little different while maintaining our style of photography. Sometimes it's a unique personal prop that parents bring but often as not it is a different pose. Just enough so that each session is one of a kind.

There is something special about a relationship portrait. Sure, most portraits of more than one person shows some sort of relationship. But when we talk Relationship Portraits at Tara Patty Photography we are speaking of our Black and White portraits depicting the relationship between two people: whole families, parent with child, siblings etc.
This month's featured portrait is of two brothers. They had lost touch until recently and have now discovered much in common. One is local, the other visiting from out of town. A fine art portrait is the ideal way to stop time for a moment and capture the relationship these two now enjoy.

Whether young or old we celebrate the relationships we have with the ones we love: parents with young children, family with one another, parents with grown children, good friends, newly engaged couples. We strive to document these relationships at our studio. Some of these relationships are depicted in color though black and white is the overwhelming preference for many.
While we do not photograph weddings at our studio we do get called to do engagement portraits from time to time. And though we can do these on location we often choose in studio black and white as part of a relationship series.

We love having parents involved in the newborn session. We realize that they've had very little sleep and are more or less running on caffeine and adrenalin. However we believe in the importance of including mom and dad in the portraits. Why? Either mom or dad will become the primary household photographer, the one who 
always whips out the camera to record the child as they grow. When will they be included in family portraits? Seldom if ever. We strongly believe that having mom and dad in the baby's first portraits will record this important time period for not only the family but for future generations.
Exhausted parents? Sure. But they will no doubt look back at this important moment in their baby's life with fondness. This is why we sell archival wall portraits and other products--so our customers will always have something that will last not only throughout their lifetime but can be passed down to their children and grandchildren.

One of the primary things that a good professional photographer brings to the table is being able to capture memories for our customers. But it cannot end there-- we must produce products that are timeless and enduring that can be passed down from one generation to the next. This is one of the reasons why at Tara Patty Photography we are so passionate about helping families create custom fine art of their family to have forever. Moments captured forever like the newborn baby held by dad, the teen completing high school, the family portrait that includes a grandparent, child or beloved pet now no longer living. Art to hang on their walls as well as important documentation for the next generation.

Celebrating a first birthday is always exciting. Gifts are fun but it usually seems that the cake can be the most enjoyable part of all. We love holding a one year "Smash the Cake" photo session for little children. I think the parents perhaps have more fun than the child. Things can get pretty messy quickly but then that's half the fun of it. This is an importrant milestone in the child's life. One they won't most likely remember without the aid of a portrait. And this is something that becomes priceless to the parents. So this little girl celebrating her first birthday portrait session is chosen as the March Portrait of the Month.
