There are moments that are our everyday. They become so ordinary to us, such a part of our lives that we don’t even think about it. It’s those little moments of cuddles, getting ready for the day, and family dinners that seem like they don’t need to be documented because they are your normal. Those simple moments that you wish you could get a picture of, because you realize that those little moments don’t last forever. -TahJah Harmony, photographer
When I found out my family and I had been selected for the photo shoot, I panicked. “I need to hire someone to clean my house. Get cute new clothes for the girls. Not too cute, it can’t look staged. What...
Dear Mom,
I know I've probably told you thousands of times, but thanks. Since becoming a mother myself I realize how much this short little word means, and I know it can never be said enough.

I was young, having fun and at the tail end of finishing a successful high school career where I was surrounded by girlfriends I adored, and there was a bright future awaiting me. As with a lot of teenagers, dating was a part of the high school scene. I didn’t have much experience of course, but I was smitten with this one boy who was a little older me. When we started dating, it seemed like a harmless adventure that...

When I initially agreed to allow TahJah come to our home and photograph "everyday motherhood", I was excited to see how her eye would capture the mundane routine we cling to. But as the day of our photo shoot got closer...
“You’re hiring a what?!” was the most common reaction I got when I mentioned I was hiring a professional birth photographer. And I was living in Austin at the time…you know, the place where people ride around topless on purple unicycles (slight exaggeration), and yet I was the weirdo who wanted to record my baby’s birth. This Louisiana girl just trying to keep Austin weird, y'all! Yes, most people thought I was crazy to even consider this. Birth photography is a fairly new trend that has become immensely popular over the past few years. As someone who has utilized this service, here are some answers to a few questions I often get asked on birth photography:
