Fall minis are here! The weather is cooling down and it's the perfect time to get your updated family photos! Mini sessions can be used for anything - engagement photos, pets, graduations, cousins, just for fun! These sessions also have a quick turnaround time so you will have more than enough time to get your Christmas cards designed and ordered or even prints as gifts for Christmas! The perfect way to knock 2 things off your holiday checklist before November even begins! 😉

There's only a few spots open for October the 14th, reserve your time at the link below: https://tarabarnesphotography.instaproofs.com/booking/session.php?id=65827cbacffa&mc_cid=d40393876b&mc_eid=2d456efb02

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
- L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables 💛

I was watching Anne of Green Gables while editing these and thought this quote was fitting. 🍁 I love Megan Follow's rendition of Anne and have rewatched that series more times than I can count.

Here's a little sneak peek of Kaitlyn and Clayton's beautiful day. Kaitlyn put so much thought into each and every detail - she even recreated her grandmother's wedding bouquet 💜 Can't wait to share more!

Caitlin and Evan’s stunning San Antonio wedding is on the blog 💛

https://tarabarnesphoto.com/caitlin-and-evan-san-antonio-missions-wedding/

Caitlin and Evan originally planned to get married in Fort Worth, but due to Covid restrictions, they ended up postponing and getting married in San Antonio at one of the mission churches to be closer to family. I grew up inside of Houston, but my family loved visiting San Antonio! We drove there often for weekends to visit the sites so San Antonio will always hold a special place in my heart!

Ceremony venue: Mission San Francisco de la Espada
Reception venue: The Old San Francisco Steakhouse
Hair & Makeup: La Beautique Makeup & Beauty Lounge
Florist: Grace Rose Farm

To know them is to love them. It’s hard to put into words the amount of encouragement I felt capturing Anna and William's day. These two are clearly the perfect pair and I love that they strive to put the Lord first in all that they do. I am beyond honored that they chose me to capture their beautiful day and my heart is full! ❤️
P.S. Now that I’m back on social media, I have lots of pretty wedding photos from their day and others coming your way very soon!! 😘
