Senior portrait photography blog make-over... it's coming!

Thanks for bearing with me... and excuse our dust as we make-over our blog.  We're kicking it up a notch with a fresh new look and feel.
In the meantime, Jupiter High School, Jensen Beach High School, South Fork High School, and Martin County High School seniors keep in touch with us through Facebook, Twitter, and our website.  We've only scratched the surface with our 2013 senior portrait photography.  So many ideas... so little time!  See you soon!

South Fork High School Senior Photos | Stuart Florida Photographer

Jada is one of my 2013 Senior Ambassadors.  She attends South Fork High School, is on the cheer squad, and is an all around GREAT kid!  Jada has the most gorgeous warm eyes... so friendly and kind!   Love this girl,... her enthusiasm and charisma can't be beat.  She definitely has a bright future ahead of her, for sure!  We met the first time and walked around town using some of the cool buildings and architecture as backdrops for our shoot.  We met a few weeks later, at South Fork in Martin County, to take some cheer pix.  Yes, those will be coming soon.  They are some of my faves, to date.  This girl knows how to make friends with my lens.  I'm honored to have her as one of my 2012 Ambassadors.  Jada, girly-Q, you are seriously AweSoMe!!!!

I'm now booking for 2013 Senior Portraiture Experiences.  You can find out more HERE.
Additionally, I want to give a shout out to Plato's Closet.  For back to school, a kick to your fashion collection, or just browsing for a little something... Plato's has fabulous clothing, shoes, jewelry, purses... you name it.  I love this place!  Many of my seniors shop at Plato's for their portrait experience photo shoot.  Great prices and great fashion!  Can't beat that combo!
Thanks for stopping by!

Blue Eyed South Fork High School Boy | Stuart, Florida Senior Photographer

One of my favorite shoots to date, with this young man, Chris.  Chris is super tall and has such classic good looks, he made my job easy peasy. Seriously, he reminds of a Ralph Lauren all-American good looking guy. We were up at the crack of dawn, roaming around downtown Stuart, Florida, a beautiful and historic location.  Put together a wonderful high school senior guy and a great location for the photo shoot and you get lots of images, one nicer than the next.  Thanks, Chris, for giving me the opportunity to take your senior photos.

 I am offering a Summer Sunset Special.  Please take a moment to visit my website to view the details.  Take advantage of this special now.  I only have a few more openings available.  Once they're gone, that's it.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sweet Ashton | Stuart, Florida Baby Photographer

This eight month old little boy was so darn cute!  He was teething like crazy and drooling up a storm... so adorable!  Every time we put him on the blanket he was reaching for the grass... oh, yum!  Or so it seemed.  Nevertheless, mom and son were very patient and we managed to get some fabulous shots!  And working with Ashton reminded me just how much I love babies.  Can you say, "Awww....!"

While his beautiful mom really didn't want to be in the photos, I did manage to snap a few.  I just love the warmth radiating between the two of them in these last few photos.  I also captured an image of Ashton with his gorgeous Auntie (first photo).  It's one of my faves, for sure!
If you haven't already done so, please visit me on Facebook and like my photography page.  Photography by Amy Tara Facebook Page  Make sure you hover over the like button, though, to make certain that my updates show up in your feed.  This way you will be up-to-date on my session specials and giveaways.  Which brings me to my current special... stop by the blog tomorrow for complete details!

The first of many! | Stuart, Florida Senior Photographer

We had so much fun during our session last Sunday.  Jada is a natural in front of the camera.  She is the first of my 2013 seniors to be showcased.  This is just a quick little sneak... many more to come!  Seriously, I love so many of the images it is very hard to narrow them down.  Beautiful girl with a great personality = great images!

Class of 2012 | Jensen Beach Senior Photographer

I had the sincere pleasure of photographing this young man a few weeks ago.  It gives me hope for the future when I meet young people such as Danny who have a goal, a path they intend to take, and the determination to see it through. Danny graduates this week and will be off to FSU in the fall.  He's an all-around terrific young man and I know he will be successful wherever life takes him... no doubt, due, in part, to the guidance and love from his amazing parents!  Enjoy your peeks Danny.  And CONGRATS on you upcoming graduation!
