some of you may remember alexis and bowie from pictures in august. alexis is an old friend who still does my hair even though she works in encino and it takes an hour or more to get to her. she rocks man.
we have been meaning to do this for years, but its hard to make it work. they made the trip down last sunday and i got to spend some time with them. they are such a gorgeous family, and bowie was having so much fun in front of the camera.
here is my favorite from the day:
Bowie is back!! Yea! LOL, love that name! My fave is Mom holding Bowie and her pointing back at the camera. It says “I’m goin’ places baby, you just wait and see!” And LOVE Bowie getting piggie-backs from Dad. Great shots again!

Beautiful – Bowie is an absolute doll. I love the one of them all jumping up in the air. Just makes you smile.
Wonderful, as always. I love looking at your photography.
Great shots Tara. Were they taken in Corona Del Mar?
Awesome photos…as usual, Tara! What else do we expect, right? Love that name…Bowie. Very cool. Have to say that my most favorite of the bunch is image #19. The one with Mom & Bowie nuzzling on the far right of the photo and the blurred image of the ocean in the rest of the photo. Totally awesome!
Have to also mention that I am in awe of your ability to get amazing catch lights in all your subjects eyes…how do you do it? Is it a learned thing, sheer luck, shooting outside? Please tell!! It is what draws me to your photos right away, every time!
Thanks for sharing!
I heard the lishman’s were headed your way and have been checking back for their album. And, you didn’t disappoint. They are darling and the photo’s only are beautiful as well.
Beautiful.
Great Photos! I love image no. 11 where Bowie is looking out at the ocean and the parents are facing the camera. Great metaphor for the whole parent/child relationship!

wow…love these pictures-I like the one you posted too! That little girl is gorgeous! :) Love her hair.
Wonderful and Bowie is a darlin’:)
Just so clear and bright, I love your way of photography T.
Just wondering, your shots at the beach, it is always so emppty on the beach. Everytime the sun is shining overhere and you go to the beach it is so crowded. Is it always so quiet overthere? Just love it like that, give you a great oppurtunity to do the shots :)

WOW!!! These pics are awesome. Every single one of them is my favorite. The child is so beautiful and spirited. I love the shots of the little girl with the parents from the waist down. It gives me a feeling of security surrounding the child. Perfection, as usual.
thank you!!!
the beach is in laguna, actually.
and it WAS crowded! it is christmas card photo season, in full throttle. bigtime crowded. i just work around it. :)
so i love whatver color thingy you did with the first one. it is rich and classic. and you are just too good for words!

Tara, if you ever come to Minnesota would you consider doing a photo shoot, even though you’d be on vacation? I live 1.5 hours from your friend, Miss Cathy Z. And would love to have you do a shoot! Kirsten

These are just the best and they are such a beautiful family! Glad you guys got to hang out-hate living far away from friends!
I just wanted to share with you what I wrote on my blog about you a few days ago, on my “Happy List”….. Thank you for being you.
“Tara Whitney. She is powerful. She is one of the most creative and talented women I have ever known. I admire her as much as I do Donna for much of the same reasons and some different. Tara’s photography makes my soul come alive and truly encourages me to keep doing what I love. She is grace. She is laughter. She is Art, Living Out Loud. She, too, is someone that I would love to call friend.”
the black is so awesome, looks good, T!
Would you come to Vermont and take photos of my family??? PLease :)
