Get inspired by Tara Whitney! When I was
looking for a great topic for this month’s Photo
Stop I decided to go on the internet for some
inspiration. Well, I can tell you, boy did I get
inspired! I found this great website by Tara
Whitney. She is a professional photographer
from the Orange Country, USA. Her pictures are
all about everyday family life. Looking at her
pictures you can see the fun they all had when
the picture was taken.
Since Tara and scrappers both have the love of
capturing life in common and because her
pictures are so inspiring, I though it would be
a great idea to do a different Photo Stop for
this November issue. This Photo Stop will be
all about Tara Whitney.
Here is a view of some of her pictures:
Now after seeing all this fun pictures, it is
time to get to know Tara a little bit better so
I asked her a few questions.
Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?
How did your passion for photography get
started?
-
I have always loved the idea of photography,
and begged my parents to be allowed to take
over the family camera on vacations. Once I
had my own children, the passion came back
strong. My husband surprised me with a
camera one Christmas (Canon Rebel, film) and
I took some classes to learn how to use it.
After that I didn't have a chance. I was
hooked.
Where do you find your inspiration?
I have noticed that you have these amazing
backgrounds in your photos. How do you find
most of those, spontaneously or do you make
special trips to find great spots?
Do you have a good photography tip that could be
helpful, even for those that use a compact
camera?
Final little note: It’s so clear that Tara
Whitney lives by the photography tip that she
gave us, as you can see in her pictures above,
it’s all about having fun in front and behind
the camera.
My tip for
this month is to go to Tara's website (www.tarawhitney.com)
and
blog (www.tarawhitney.com/justbeblogged),
have a look, and get inspired by her beautiful
work.
