Taylor and Matt's wedding came and it was simply beautiful. Their wedding was full of simple but lovely details. My particular favorite thing was Taylor's use of the fact that she is a twin who was about to marry a man whose last name is Triplett. It couldn't get more perfect then that! I loved the energetic and upbeat vibe that their guests gave, and the night ended with a perfect and fun sparkler send off! These two are such as wonderful couple, and I know they have a great future ahead of them.

They were married at Squaw Valley on a perfect spring day surrounded by their friends, family, and their two adorable sons. I wish them nothing but a lifetime full of happiness.

I loved being able to have both of the them together for their shoot. It was so wonderful being able to not just photograph their accomplishments in school, but to also capture the amazing friendship that they share.
Congratulations on your graduation from UNR! Together, you both have bright futures!
They were all naturals in front of the camera, and I cannot wait till I can shoot them again, but with one more addition!
Congratulations Morgan! You have a bright future ahead of you!
I had so much fun shooting these two, and cannot wait to shoot their wedding this August!
Special thanks to Izzy's Burger Spa for allowing us to shoot at their restaurant!
]]>Of all the shoots I've done with them, this one was probably my favorite. The lighting, her dress, their love. It was all perfect.
I am so so so incredibly happy for these two, and will be waiting on the edge of my seat for Little Peanut Parker to arrive!
Love Sommer's outfit? You can purchase the lace sleeve top from H&M,
and the maxi dress was bought from Kobieta Clothing Company!
Make sure to go and "like" my Facebook page, and follow my Instagram to keep up to date with all the latest shoots!

2013 was a very big year for me, both personally and with my business.
As far as my photography goes, I feel that this last year was one of my biggest years for growth. I was able to do so many shoots that taught me a lot about capturing the best moments. In 2013, I had the honor of shooting multiple weddings for some beautiful brides. I shot so many wonderful families and got to meet so many wonderful people. I loved being a part of so many special moments, and fantastic memories.
Personally, 2013 was easily one of the greatest and most significant years of my life.
In this year I...
Bought my first home
Went to Disneyland
Performed in a play
Went to Coachella
Graduated with my Bachelor's degree in HDFS from the University of Nevada, Reno
Traveled to Australia, as well as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Napa Valley!
Got an adorable new cat, Gracie
but most importantly, I got married to my amazing and handsome husband, Kyle!
And while this last year has been wonderful, I fully expect 2014 to be just as great! I have started off this new year with a lot of new changes, with this website and blog being one of them!
Also new, I now have Talia Ybarra Photography on Instagram! Instagram is one of my favorite apps, and I think it’s a wonderful way of sharing, not just photos from sessions, but other fun behind the scenes stuff you may not see other wise. So if you have one, please go and follow me @TaliaYbarraPhotography!
Another new thing you may have noticed is my new logo! My beautiful new logo was designed by the talented Sommer Elston with Pretty Little Paper Co. She’s a great friend of mine who not only helped me design my new look, but also designed my wedding save the dates and invitations! I highly recommend you check out her work if you are looking for someone to design you a personalized and one of kind look for your special occasion or business.
A big change you will begin to see too, is that from this point on, I will be sharing photos from my sessions here on my blog, rather than on my Facebook page. I will continue to use my Facebook, if anything, more than before. But I feel that my blog will be a better place to share with you the pictures from a person's session or wedding!
So again, thank you! Thank you so much for all the support you have given. I look forward to the future of my business, and am so excited for all the wonderful sessions and weddings planned already for this year! So please continue to come back and check out this blog as I continue to post and share!
With Love,
Talia Ybarra
