{ A Personal Project } – Sequim WA Photographer

One of the many things I learned along the way this year, is the importance of allowing myself time for personal projects.  I got so burned out this year, that I am having to step back and reevaluate some things, and make new commitments to certain policies and work hours.  Some of these things are...

Carole Marie - January 28, 2010 - 11:42 pm

I’m just now seeing these – love, love, love them!
The wings shots with the lens baby have a creepy coolness to them… can’t wait to see what your next personal project will be!

Brieanne Fazio - December 29, 2009 - 6:35 pm

These are so awesome! You have taken lots of photos of my sister in law Olivia, and I just LOVE everything I’ve seen! It makes me want to have another wedding in hopes that you would photograph it! :)

Sam Pardue - December 17, 2009 - 2:23 pm

A beautiful series of photos. So great to do personal projects that inspire creativity. Very nice use of the Lensbaby for those wing photos.

Ann Galovich - December 17, 2009 - 12:04 pm

Gorgeous Gorgeous images! I can’t pick a favorite, but if I had to pick that first image is amazing! The stylist and the model rocked the looks and you rocked the art!

sinai - December 17, 2009 - 8:35 am

Tara:
Great work with your MEDEA shoot. The moods are excellent. I know that each pic is a favorite with different people.

You also have revealed that you shoot in the RAW, but I would love to see the close up head shots in color (the eyes have it and to me set the tone), and if possible PS the light reflections. I can even visualize the first head shot with a little mascara run.

Keep up the good work and
Merry Christmas to you and your Family

Karmen - December 16, 2009 - 9:31 pm

Rebecca - December 16, 2009 - 3:13 pm

LOVE those first two!!!!

[...] I love finding great files that weren’t edited from shoots.  It is like finding money in the wash! LOL  I love how I am affected and inspired in a different way by different images months later.  These were from this shoot with the fabulous and beautiful Medea: http://tarastatonblog.com/?p=1440 [...]

[...] I am getting ready to release a fabulous new texture set soon (for examples see this post: Medea ).   So the prize for the random photographer drawing will be both of my texture sets.  The [...]

Happy Holidays!

I have been a very bad blogger this month.  Everything has just been so crazy and busy (mostly in a good way), I am sorry to say my blog took a little bit of a sideline status for a bit.  I wanted to pop in and say Merry Christmas to everybody! I am very excited...

Kimberly King - November 23, 2009 - 6:32 pm

Okay, so there are so many great shots here. I LOVE the one of him leaning on the log sitting on the beach. I am a big fan of the lighting techniques you use!! I am really liking the ones that you use the “hard” lighting … I am sure there is a real term for that but anyways, super cool!! The one where he is gazing down and has a small laugh is really cute too!! Nice work, girlie!!

Kayla Renckly - November 20, 2009 - 12:05 am

Amazing shots! I love how natural and comfortable he looks in front of the camera! I can see why those are your favorites, I think mine would be the third from last.

christina grissett - November 12, 2009 - 5:10 pm

Love the light. Just wonderful to look at.

Olivia - November 12, 2009 - 9:02 am
