Another Geek Moment...

OK, I've told you about my Harry Potter obsession before. Well, Since September 10th I've found a new obsession.... The Twilight Saga.

And to cater to the giddy pre-teen living inside my head...they made a movie!! My husband just shakes his head at me now...lol. I'm so excited that I could scream. If you haven't read the books I highly recommend them, they are really entertaining and an easy read. I have to warn you though, the books will leave you with a VERY unrealistic view of love and relationships...lol. I actually had someone tell me that after she read the books she didn't date for an entire year afterward...lol. How crazy is that?!?

Here's the movie trailer...ENJOY!!

Simple Act of Kindness

I want to share with you guys the act of kindness I experienced this afternoon. Today AJ was in rare form. He had so much energy that we needed to go the park to burn it off. While at the park there was a mom there with her three children playing. She proceeded to give her littlest baby a balloon. AJ saw this and took off in her direction. By the time I made it over to her she said he could have one too. So as she was blowing up the balloons we chatted. The time we were at the park this lovely woman gave AJ two balloons.

Most of you know my son has been diagnosed with autism. Even with the demands of her own children (one who is also special needs) she was so sweet and giving. I've gone to that same park a million times and had to deal with the weird looks and the awkward questions about my son's behavior. This woman was a breath of fresh air and a sign that there ARE still kind people in this cruel world.

I didn't get her name (silly me I know) but I did give her my card. I hope she calls me so I can show her how her generosity has effected us. I know it was only two balloons (that have since popped) but she really made my afternoon a bit brighter.

lesson - a simple act of kindness can make a world of difference in someone's life.

Feeling sentimental

A few days ago my husband posted a really sweet blog about me on his site.
I just wanted to share it with you.

Geek Alert!!

OK, my husband likes to tease me about how much of a "geek" I can be sometimes. I know it's all in good fun and I embrace my "geekness"...lol. Tonight I was beside myself because I just saw the first trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. First let me say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Harry Potter books, so I'm so excited to see the next movie. I just hope they do the books justice, because I hated the 5the movie. If you ever want to be bored to death, just ask me why I hated it...lol.

Here is the trailer for the 6th movie....ENJOY!!

Wild Kingdom

I am always amazed at what I find in my jungle of a backyard. I've always said I am no gardener, in fact I really suck at it...lol. But when I do get brave and venture into my back yard I always find something interesting. Today I saw no less than 24 spiderwebs in my yard and in one of the webs I see two spiders "planning on expanding their family". I definately have to get brave and do something about those overgrown bushes.

Happy 4th of July!!

Tonight Woodbridge set off their annual fireworks show at Alvin Williams Park on the Sewaren waterfront. This year we stayed home but we got a fantastic view from our front yard. AJ absolutely LOVED the show. He signed for more a few times...lol. I'm hoping to catch another fireworks show sometime this weekend and snap a few photos. I hope everyone has a happy and SAFE holiday weekend!!

HAPPY JULY 4th

About Me

Hi! I'm Taria, a wedding, lifestyle, and portrait photographer based in Woodbridge, NJ. I love my job! I will post images from both my professional and personal life as well as other interesting things that I find. So check back often and don't be shy, I love getting comments!!

I thrive on capturing memories and creating art. I specialize in life photography. I am not a "say cheese" photographer. My goal is to capture an emotion, a connection, an experience.

My style of photography is very relaxed and natural. I provide portraits from maternity to boudoir, infants to seniors, engagements to weddings or just about anything you can think of. I give you the personal attention and time the chain studios cannot provide. Making your experience personal and creating a comfortable atmosphere is my priority. All sessions are all about you and not rushed.

With me you don’t just get a photographer for one day; you get a photographer for life!!
