This little guy has parents that are so into him. And they know him, deeply. This threesome has an intense, fun, powerful to watch connection.
I’ve captured it once before.
I was thrilled when they hired me for a second time.
Shot: Sept. 09, Coronado Island. The light sabers were their idea. The second I saw the low tide I knew it would be a powerful image to use them together. Love those reflections.

- i just love these, my youngest is into light sabers.... i especially love the bw of the boy laughing wide open - how did you get that shot - can you share? as always, your pics are truly fabulous!!
- Awesome shoot Tara! Well-captured family interaction. Loving the primary color wardrobe as well. The light sabers are a nice touch :)
- i love this! <3
- What a FUN family!!! It looks like everyone had a blast and they have great images to show for it ;)
- So many great shots here!
- Great family set! I have to say, if mom and dad were really dueling, the mom would totally win with that stance!
- I can't get enough of these photos. They make my heart happy!
- the force was definitely with you. beautiful images. just beautiful.
- I love this shoot. So candid.
- Luuuuuuuv it! My son is infatuated with light sabers. This would totally be his ideal session. Might have to try it myself ;-)
- You make me so happy. :)
- What a great session! I know they'll treasure these :)
- these are wicked awesome!! you are just so talented.
- oh, tara! these speak to me on such a deep, personal level...as a mom to only one child - a boy - i GET these photos in a way i am unable to completely connect to others who have multiple kids {although those rock me to the core, too}. your words about this family are just how i feel about our little dude...we are just so into him! he is the center of us, of who we are as a family. i absolutely adore each and every one of these images and i can only imagine how the family must treasure them! i've gotta go stop crying now - my little guy is hundreds of miles away visiting grandparents and is sick and i'd give ANYTHING to hug him right now!!
- I love this session! The colors of their shirts with the colors of the sabers and the upside down photo! Love love love it.
- Lightsabers! My two boys love their lightsabers and are always playing with them. When I saw your photos of the family on the beach with a lightsaber in one hand and using the 'force' with the other hand, I laughed - I see that all the time around here.
- LOVE the light saber photos. My....literally took my breath away. I would die for photos like that of me and my boys. Thanks for sharing, Tara. <3
- absolutely fantastic session! as a mother of 3 boys, the lightsaber dueling brought a sentimental tear to my eye and a tug on my heart. love.
- Awh I love the light sabers!! Beautiful family!! So much love!! Great shots!! You Rock Tara!!!

- Just incredible. We have one son, so this shoot brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
- oh tara, these light saber shots are my favorites! ever since you posted the session with the triplets and the swords/shields, i've dreamed of doing a light saber session. your work is amazing! i'm afraid i have a big crush on you :-)
- Such a fun spirit you can feel from the family and your photos. Tara, do you know by any chance where mom got her awesome necklace? I love it and would like to have one like she is wearing. :)
