A few weeks back, I put a call out to some of my favorite photographers. I aimed for the stars and figured only one or two would be interested. I have been blown away by the response! ALL of the amazing women I contacted said they’d love to participate in this series. Photographers who I consider celebrities! This fabulous woman is one of them. I remember the first time I saw an image from Tara Swain. It was probably right about the time I discovered Pinterest and her pictures were all over the place. She creates these magical works of art that capture childhood like no one else! Bright, colorful, happy, whimsical. Everything you think of when you picture a child. If you love photography, you need to check out her work! I was thrilled when she agreed to answer my crazy questions.
Love It or Leave It?
Unicorns- LOVE IT of course!!! 🙂 I’ve collected anything and everything unicorn since I was young and now I have a giggly little 5 year old who is obsessed with Unicorns (she was actually a Unicorn for this past Halloween) so now I have someone who feeds into the obsession. 😉
Pigtails- LOVE IT! I’ll be so sad when my little girl outgrows them.
Camera Phone instead of big camera on vacation- LOVE IT. I’m really guilty of this, but it’s just more convenient. I’m more likely to take more pictures this way as well. I take my big camera along as well, but the camera phone is usually out for the majority of the trip.
Race cars- LEAVE IT
Nickelodeon- it’s a toss up. I loved it when I was younger.. but we watch more Disney channel now-a-days.
Jukeboxes- LEAVE IT… iPods are easier. 😉
First looks at weddings- DEFINITELY LOVE IT. I always get excited when a bride and groom choose to do the first look at their wedding because I know we’ll have SO much more opportunity for amazing bride/groom photos.
Home made props- LOVE IT. (But my husband might disagree.) 😉 I’ve roped him into helping me build some pretty elaborate and unique props in the past.. and the list just continues to grow. I love putting together unique things that you can’t find anywhere else and being able to pull together a theme from it.
You Tube- LOVE IT. It’s pretty much like Google to me… and it’s also helped entertain some restless kiddos in waiting rooms too! 😉
