I’ve had a 4×5 camera for a while.  But of course, I’ve been way too damn busy to ever think about pulling it out and shooting with it.  Ironically, my film holders were dated 5-31-03, and the very next time I used them was exactly 7 years later for Josh & Jude’s anniversary shoot.  I shot 7 frames with no polaroids.  Only 2 frames turned out, but this image is by far my favorite.  Keep scrolling down to see what happens when my friends and I get to play.

Some 8mm too:

So there you go.  It all started when Josh & Jude asked me to take some anniversary portraits for them.  At the same time, Allison Sprouse from the Modern Hostess was brainstorming up a photoshoot to give her portfolio a kick. And the rest just snowballed as the stars aligned . . .

And the best part . . . this can be you.  I’m now offering styled photoshoots to those who “wish they could do it all over again.”  Well, now you can.  We’ll make it happen.  It doesn’t have to be wedding photos, and you don’t even need an occasion. it’s just photos in an environment that you dream up.  Spoil yourself, and make your friends jealous.   Email me for more details:  tara{at}dixiepixelphoto{dot}com

Congratulations, Jeremy & Erica!

Hilton Head, South Carolina

The day after their gorgeous wedding, we spent more time together in Charleston and then back on the beach, just in time to watch the sun go down. Congratulations again, and thanks for trusting me to do these photos for you!
