I must say I was so nervous-anxious-excited to see the comments and the beautiful words of encouragement pour in for my very own photography. I can’t describe to you how reaffirming you all are to me! I badly wish I could give something to everyone but…well, that would sort of defeat the purpose and I’m pretty sure Justin would be none too pleased with me.

This one seemed to be a top pick – along with its quoted card!
I’m am super pleased, however, to announce the two winners chosen by Random.org…
Of the laminated print, the winner is……#50 Lauren who commented:
I’m happy for you and feel good about this move you made. Of course you should sell your photos! I love the one of the frog… He did look like a zen master there on that long leaf… good luck with everything! I love your blog.
Of the set of cards, the winner is…#122 Rebecca who shared this on Facebook:
Tara is someone I have been inspired by (her life and her photography) and have been following on Flickr for I think 2 years. She is now opening up her own photography shop – and giving away two prints
I entered the giveaway and so should YOU! My fave is ‘Boxcar Dreams‘. Anyone else have a fave?
Thank you to everyone who entered! You have truly, truly filled my heart.












Congrats to the winners! I will hope to make a purchase soon…Lisa
congrats, winners – you are lucky to win such great art!
Hey, I hope you don’t mind, but I will be talking about you on my next blog post. In fact, an interview just might be in order…yes?
YAY! Most awesome!!
… wow what a surprise, thank you Tara! I am so excited to be the winner and to receive one of your photo prints *all smiles*
hi, i’ve just came across your blog from a link on holistic mama. Congrats on selling your art.. your photos are really beautiful, love th ecards with the inspirational quotes.
Congrats Winners! Tara, these truly are beautiful and inspiring. A perfect mirror for you! Blessings!
I missed your giveaway post! But I went back and read it. Tara, your photography is beautiful and inspires me. I understand how you feel about not being the best. I’m so far far away from being a great photographer. I see others’ work around me and I know my technique is so inferior. But I think I have an eye for beauty…maybe one day my technique will catch up. Anyway, I love your style and I’m so proud of you for going for it. I need to go for something, too…I think my real problem is indecision…I can’t seem to focus on any one thing!
