Seniors!!
Well I'm about to venture into an area of photography that I enjoy but is totally new to me.
SENIOR PORTRAITS!!
In New Jersey senior portraits aren't as exciting as they should be. In fact, they are down right boring. Most senior photos look exactly alike, there is no originality or personality in the pictures. SO...
I'm going to offer senior portraits that scream unique personality. Get ready folks, these ain't your typical senior portraits.
Stay tuned to see the senior sale details next week.

Josephine + Benjamin
Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing a vow renewal for Josephine & Benjamin. These lovebirds had a great story. They were childhood sweethearts and although they were married they never had the fairytale wedding. It was really an honor to be able to give them the wedding photos they never had. They were so fun and so sweet to work with. I hope to be able to work with them again in the future.
There day turned out fantastic. It was suppose to rain all day and be just blah, but they ended up with a stunning day and great weather. Here are a few from their very special day.
Did I mention what great dancers these two are?

quick update
OK I know I didn't post yesterday but I have a really good reason. "My dog ate my homework"...lol. Ok so that's not really what happened. Yesterday (and most of today) I had technical difficulties. I had a memory chip go bad in my PC so I am working on half the memory and trust me when I say that it is seriously effecting my progress on a lot of projects (GRRRRR).
I'm off to the store this morning to get a new chip and possibly an upgrade. I'll post the L and M pictures sometime this afternoon.
Thanks for being patient. I also have a wedding this weekend, so don't forget to check back on Saturday night to see a preview.

K is for
KEYS
I almost freaked out earlier today. While Bryanna and I were at the ball game (see post below) I couldn't remember what I did with my keys. They weren't in my pocket, and I couldn't hear them in my bag. I finally sat down and dumped everything into my lap and poof my keys appeared tangled in a hairband which caused them not to jingle when I shook the bag.

A gift from my niece (sorta)
Well today is mother's day and my niece "took me" to see the Somerset Patriots play. Now I'm not a huge baseball fan but I enjoyed myself. I took a few action shots and remembered how much I loved shooting outside in natural light. Here is one of my shots from this afternoon.

Fairy without a Foot
I saw this fairy swinging on someone's tree as I was taking a walk on a really nice day. My eye immediately danced all over the texture and then got stuck on the missing foot. So on my "F" day I came back to shoot it. Since no one was home I couldn't ask permission, but I hope the neighbors didn't think I was "casing the joint"....lol.

This afternoon while I was walking Obi we passed this bus. I live around the courner from an elementary school so we see alot of buses. This particular bus was parked by the waterfront and had a HUGE cat underneath it. Well my darling Obi smelled the cat and went nuts trying to get under the bus (as I was trying to take this shot...lol). Luckily no animals (or people) were harmed while taking this photograph.

Project for May
OK, A ton of my photography buddies have done the "ABC" project and I now have the time to do it. Basically the ABC project is I have to take a photo every day and each day the theme or subject of the photo has to correspond with the letter of that day. This project will start on May 1st and will conclude on May 26th.
From May 27th-31st I'll still post pictures but I'm not sure what the theme for those will be yet, maybe I'll go back to some abandon buildings and do those.
Either way May should be a busy month with this project and normal workloads.
Thanks
Taria

I looked at my calendar today and realized that Mother's Day is only about 2 weeks away. So I said to myself "Taria, (because that's what I call me...lol) how can you show your appreciation to not only your mom, but all moms?" After thinking about it the word SPECIAL popped in my head, so here ya go.
Feel free to tell a friend :o)

Sweet 16 Jayleen
WOW WOW WOW WOW!! I just got home from Miss Jayleen's sweet 16. I had such a fun time with her and her family. I loved every minute of my time with them. Not only did we luck out had have a super warm day (warm for April at least) we had such a mild night that we were able to get some shots outside and NOT freeze. Did I mention we were on the Perth Amboy water front? Eileen and John threw such a nice party it was a shame that Cinderella had to go home at midnight.

Wrecked & Abandoned
Today as I was driving around I came across an abandoned building that looks like it's about to fall down. The building had so much character and as I was at the red light across the street I started wondering what this building was before it went downhill. So just before the light turned green I whipped out my camera and took a quick photo.
I went to a seminar yesterday and one of the lessons was "How to Keep Your Passion for Photography". So today this is a shot for me, and in May I'll be posting about a project I'll be working on.
What do you think?

Class is in session!!
Today I had a very fun time teaching a small group of children about photography for Woodbridge Township Youth Month. We covered basics like panning, lighting, focusing, and distance. I was very nervous right before the workshop but as soon as I saw those little faces it was smooth sailing. I am scheduled to teach another workshop next month for an older crowd and I can't wait. I think I'm pretty good at teaching...lol.
Thanks to Ashley in the Mayor's office for organizing the artist workshop.
Here are a few pictures from today...
Thank you to all the children that took the workshop.
You guys were so much fun to work with!!

Autism Awareness Month
Most people that know me know my 5yr old son was diagnosed with autism when he was 2yrs old. He has improved so much over the years but we still have alot of work to do to get him where he should be to have a productive and fulfilling life. April is National Autism Awareness Month so I'd like to share with you some facts regarding Autism.
Autism is a complex neurological disorder. It effects an individuals behavior, language skills, social skills, and sensory processing system. It's causes are still a mystery to doctors and researchers.
Recent stats show...
* 1 in 94 children in New Jersey has been diagnosed with Autism.
* Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability.
* Autism is four times more prevalent in boys than girls in the US
* More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined
* There has been a 172% increase in Autism in the U.S. in the last decade
* It costs America $90 Million a year to take care of Autistic Individuals needs
* The divorce rate for families with an Autistic child is 80%
* Autism has been on the map since 1943

Amazing Grace
OK, I need a nice long nap after spending two days with this bundle of emotion...lol. I've photographed Gracie and her parents Sharon & Ernie many times, but when it came to Gracie's 1st birthday photos she was not a happy camper. Our birthday session started on Monday and ended this afternoon...lol. Hopefully when I see her again this summer she will be in a much better mood. Thank goodness we did get some great shots to melt her parent's hearts.
