Only 60 days left in this challenge. Is that even possible? The days just seem to be flying by now! If you're still in the throes of your own 365 project, hang in there... it gets easier, the rewards get higher, and the feeling of accomplishment is out of this world. Today I got up early to meet a portrait client at her home. We were location scouting for her family photo shoot next week. She's … [Read more...]
Now you know I can't show you everything we shot today during our 6-hour photo shoot. First of all, I've barely got enough energy to eek out this tasra365 daily post. Secondly, patience is a virtue so it'll be good for you to wait a bit. Okay, I'll be honest, it's really more about the first reason... the second is just a byproduct. I will tell you that a few of the outfits and props for … [Read more...]

Everyone probably wanted to join the circus at some point in their lives! Didn't you? ZING ZANG ZOOM Our entire family had the chance to go Zing Zang Zoom, the new circus performance by Ringling … [Read more...]
In what universe is there a snowstorm and school closure in the heart of Atlanta? When I watched The Year Without a Santa Claus as a kid, they made it perfectly clear that the snow miser did not allow snow in Southtown. Know what I mean? The snow flurries started this afternoon, so I quickly rushed outside to get my daily shot. I even tweeted about it because I wanted to get the snow before it … [Read more...]
Today's word of the day was... EDGY. Our home and studio were temporarily taken over by teen girls in preparation for our first Teen Identity Models photo shoot of 2010. The bedroom exploded in clothes and there was a full-on salon happening with hair, makeup, nails, and stylists getting everyone ready.

If you don't know who they are, Google them. It's an all-star cast. On top of … [Read more...]
