I melt into these eyes.
They are each brown eyed girls, but the browns are so different.
Anna’s are dark chocolate, black coffee, Labrador.
Mckenna’s are milk chocolate, a leather couch, wet sand.
These two are the bookends of our family, seven years apart, yet can share shoes and shirts.
I took these on the day that Maile took our photos. I have more to share from that day, but will have to get to it next week, because I need a break from this computer, man.

- McKenna looks so grown up in this shot. It's like you can see a glimpse of the woman she'll become. Very cool.
- mckenna's eyelashes?! swoon!
- BEAUTIES. So funny, I say my kids are part milk/part dark chocolate eyed too. ;)
- I love the pic in the car. And that first picture - it's the kind of picture that makes you think that you can see what she will look like when she's all grown up - beautiful.
- Your girls are beautiful!!
- Good LAWD you can see McKenna in ten years in that shot! Love how they both have your eyebrows (before tweezing came into the picture, natch). :) LOVE
- As usual...stunning. Your ability to make small moments shine is glorious. YOU RULE THE SCHOOL, LADY!!!
- Tara, your girls are so, so beautiful!
- love. (duh)
- these are GORGEOUS!!! your girls are so stunning! I love each different brown of their gorgeous eyes! tara
- they are both beautiful.. just like their mama
- I just showed my 15 year old daughter these pictures and she said of McKenna "She is so pretty...I wish I had eyelashes like that." Both of your girls are stunning.
- Oh Tara - that's the magical thing about you - you caught my kids' eyes, too. It's like I can see the spark that is Anna, and the depth that is McKenna. Taylor's eyes are McKenna's color....just a *titch* more hazel, and you caught that one eye is more golden than the other. I've never been able to capture that. I had the PTSA meeting here today and things came to a halt as everyone admired your pictures of our family. Have to take a picture of my pictures to share.
- Absolutely stunning...
- This is my most favorite shot of McKenna ever! She's got such beautifully long, curly lashes! They both do! Wonderful Tara!
- I think that's one of the most beautiful pictures of Anna you've ever taken. You must be such a happy Momma! :)
- little anna is yummy! Well they both are...
- Love that shot of Mckenna. She is a force. A stillness. Like the world is moving so slow that there are certain people you can't see because they're moving too fast, but with a camera you can catch a glimpse.
- The photo of McKenna is stunning. She is so beautiful; both your girls are. Thanks for sharing. :)
- beautiful!
- sweetness. They are absolutely beautiful, Tara.
- Stunningly beautiful girls!
- My girls are brown eyed girls too and, you're right, they melt your heart like chocolate. I'm amazed at how much brown eyes change from day to day, like the barometres for their souls. These are fantastic photos. x
- I've been admiring your work now for two years. In that I've had to pleasure to watch your family grow. You're darling girls are beautiful! (Your boys as well!) Thank you for sharing your work. I love your style and only wish I could afford to fly you to Michigan to photograph my family! If you're ever here, look me up! I'd love to compare notes! Yours truly, Trujen
