- Tara, you've outdone yourself on this session. It's so warm and intimate... a peek into a little slice of their life. These are the photos that spark memories and are kept in an easily accessible place where they can be looked at over and over again. Well done, my friend.

- LOVE this session Tara...one of my faves of yours for sure. I can't get any of my clients to do a session at their house...I'm not sure why, unless they're worried about clutter or some such.
- great session Tara, love your "new" emerging style.
- Love these just the way they are but do you think he'll totally rad these?!

- Magical, tara. Really. You captured how much they love eachother. Wow.
- Please come to Texas - please! I need a session like this!
- I love the love and happiness. Wonderful, heartfelt, precious REAL LIFE shots, Tara!!
- this is by far one of your best at home/family sessions to date. it shows your growth and talent, creativity and ability to direct them in the most casual and natural way. i simply loved it. i want one of my own family like it!!! love the triptych. brilliant!!
- love the bitty fistfull of popcorn and, seriously...eating daddy's toes...perfection! beautiful, beautiful.
- that first in between is perfection. *swoon*
- I'm in the swoon pile too! I'm with amy J, having a session at home shows real life memories and it's too bad that manymore families want to pose next to pretty flowers -- instead of being the flower.
- Such sweet images! :)
- There's nothing I love more than at-home sessions, but the field shots are stealing my heart too! And how cool is their zombie warning sign?? :)
- How did I miss this post? LOVE these :) They are adorable :)
- Warm, natural, fun. What a wonderful record for this family
- yes i can feel it :)) my fav shot from this session. i think my heart might have skipped a little beat....
- Oh how adore baby Scout munching on Doug's toes. A gorgeous, creative family. And you captured them beautifully, as you always do.
- love love love. beautiful family!
- Its photogs like you who inspire me.. and make me see that following the "rules" all the time just isnt real art. You capture true wonderful moments and I adore that about you.
- ps. is it weird if I ask what color is on the walls of their bedroom? te he.. maybe mom will chime in and share? :)
- I fell in love with this family and their lifestyle the more I looked through the pics. Amazing! Love the style of pics you are doing, just showing the everydayness of people's lives! xo Shari
- these are fantastic
- Good grief girl... What's not to love about this session!!! Absolute perfection!!!

- Seriously insanely beautiful family and photos!! I am saving my pennies to have you take our family pics sometime when we are in the area....we live in Seattle. Any chance you want to fly up here and do a weekend's worth of mini sessions?? I love your work!! AND, I would love to know where to find that picnic blanket/blanket in the bubbles photo. LOVE!!
