Taryn Melgoza Photography??

I took some family photos of my very good friend Lauren and her adorable family in January. I was really happy with them, so I loaded some online. Then a co-worker saw them and asked if I would take her engagement pictures. I was a little shocked, but of course I said yes! I was also excited to get some more practice with my camera and new lens I got for Christmas. She ended up posting these pictures on her facebook account, and since then I have been asked to shoot a wedding in July as well as graduation photos...! I'm not sure if this is a side business in the making, but I did start thinking of photography business names. It seems like every photographer uses their full name and the word "photography" at the end. It's not very original, but it does get your name out there effectively. If you have any ideas for photography names, let me know. I am up for suggestions. Here are some photos from these shoots. I would love to get more practice shooting, so let me know if you would like to be a model for me. Sydney gets bored being my model all the time. ;-)











And here of some of my recent cakes. Overall, I've been busy!
