Anna Jones - these are phenomonal tara!!! you are *gifted*.

MelodyA. - Oh, gosh. In the bathtub all bubbly?? Amazing. You are.

Beth - I just love seeing your work - so refreshing each and everytime!

@Joscie - LOVE those shots! amazing how you capture all of that in photos. :)

sara - Are you kidding me? I'm going through these thinking there is no prettier kid in the world than Sam, and then you throw in the curly haired beauty? I think my eyes hurt they're so stunning.

courtney - Wow!!!! I love them!

Jennifer - Love, love, LOVE the bath tub shot!

Kim - As always - amazing photos Tara! You truly know exactly what to capture! Your photos speak a million emotions & words! LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Thanks for sharing! Hugs!

Christie - I am sorry, but please tell me that you called in a model to hold the baby in a bikini (I dunno, something different?,) because there is no way a woman should look that good within a year of having a baby. I love the one of him chewing his hand and the bathtub shot is so sweet. You did a great job.

suetreiber - another gorgeous shoot Tara! He has stunning eyes.

Cyndi - Oh, he is scrumptious all over! Beautiful family, beautifully captured.

shawna - Oh wow, the tub shot! I want one of those so badly, and the bare bum shot, I just love it. This is delicious set of photos, and the baby is the same age as mine so I'm getting photo envy ;o). That mom must be delighted.

jodie - great photos! as always! :) just wanted to comment and thank you for reminding me to love them as they are now. my little guy must be near the same age b/c his hands are in his mouth ALL day, which i love, but when i go to photograph him I'm always shooing his hands away so i can see his mouth. but what i love about your photos is that it reminds me that it's ok not to see his mouth all the time! i'm going to want to remember those beefy hands shoved in his mouth too! anyway, thanks for my "ah ha" moment! :)

Rachel - LOVE these T!!!
