Chris and Tara Get Engaged!

January 25, 2021

Wendy Wild Photography

A few months ago as I was just starting to get things rolling with my photography, my good friend Tara asked if I’d be available to do her sister’s maternity shoot. The concept was SO cool: Melissa lives and works with horses on a beautiful piece of property (so I had been told.)

As the date of the shoot was approaching, I asked Tara if we could schedule some time to scope out the property to see where we would ideally like to shoot, see how the light hits, etc… and then things got exciting.

Hearing that we would be headed to this beautiful piece of property to meet Tara and her sister, Tara’s partner (and one of our other besties), Chris jumped at the opportunity.

Eric and I almost died with excitement for these two. Then the plan went into action: Chris coordinated with Melissa, so that when they were done horseback riding, he would be there hiding in the backyard area waiting with the ring. OMG.

Now from a photography perspective, surprise proposals aren’t the easiest, for the obvious reason: one party has no idea what’s going on. We got there early and had a practice run with Eric standing in for Tara, praying the plan would go off without a hitch.

We thought this would be a good spot.

What a romantic moment it was! Just beyond beautiful… Tara, who is not easily surprised truly didn’t expect a thing. We were so thrilled to be a part of such a special life moment.

Here’s how the rest of the shots came out:

Can we talk about how much better I’m doing… o Can we talk about how much better I’m doing… one year later? 
For multiple reasons… and more specifics on that if you check out my podcast, “Life Bytes with Wendy Wild.”
Last year was the year of big changes, and for a while I was inadvertently neglecting my health. 
On top of my food/gut issues and anxiety, I allowed myself to get so dehydrated that I ended up in the hospital with kidney stones. 
These days I’m more mindful about the food I prepare at home, my water intake, and making sure I make the time for mindfulness. If 2024 was a hot mess, 2025 is her much cuter older and wiser sister. 
Thank you Rupinder for inviting and treating me to this super supplement. One week later and I’m feeling superb!

Happy National Pet Day to my little Velcro kitty. Happy National Pet Day to my little Velcro kitty. I love you to the moon and back - my emotional and physical support animal. Thanking the universe for all the obscene things that had to happen for everything to click into place and have you in my life. 

Special mention to the other two goofuses (a friendly bonded pair) who reside in my backyard. I’d love to see them in a loving home indoors one day. 😉❤️

Honored that I got to sit down with the legendary @lisalisall77, who has inspired us for 4 decades! What a treasure to be able to talk about her journey, biopic, upcoming memoir, and massive tour. (She’s at the Apollo on Saturday for two shows.) 

Interview is up on KTU’s YouTube channel and KTU.com. 💃
