Sarah and Arron, hailing all the way from the United Kingdom. They were roaming California on holiday, celebrating their 7th anniversary.
I love:
that we got to hang out
that they rented a convertible – so iconic
her hair blowing in the wind
their shoes
her freckles
his crooked smile
their comfortable hug in front of grafitti
her blue nails
their beach outfit change (I literally could not take my eyes off her with that bathing suit and headband and pink hoodie – she was radiant!)
how they forgot I was there a lot of the time
her headband – she made it!
that she brought out her camera
their request for photographs by the lifeguard stand, and how they turned out
(doesn’t the vertical shot on the lifeguard stand seem like it could have been their grandparents?)
a girl who is willing to wear a bathing suit on camera
What you may not be able to see is that these two were a bit shy and a bit unsure of how to “act” for the camera, but they let go and trusted me. And I am thankful to them for that. Soon their shy smiles turned authentic and free. It was really lovely bringing them out of their shell.

Tara
These are super cute :D
Awesome couple!!!
One of my favorite beach sessions that you’ve done. Definitely has a vintage feel to it (without “trying” to be vintage… what a breath of fresh air). Love it, Tara.
Love this session. I feel like I can step inside the photos and be there. Love that.
i wonder why my blurry pictures never look as cool as yours?!
What a beautiful couple – love these!
Every time you post, I fall in love with your work all over. Can’t wait to have my family photographed by you one day…
que fotos tan lindas, la perspectiva, la luz, la pareja divina, la edición… FANTASTICA!
can’t wait to have my family photographed by you one day… that pretty much sums it up for me…
oh my – the close up B+Ws are SO beautiful!
STUNNING. Absolutely stunning. Great work, Tara.
Absolutely wonderful, what a gorgeous couple!
These are really fun. I particularly like the images on the beach. xox
Oh Tara. Sigh.

LOVE these…so so stunning. You are amazing!!
love the shots in the car. really cool.
love. you are a magic maker.
7th anniversary? Did they get married when they were 16? :) Such a gorgeous day, really love the lifeguard tower pair and the sun flare alley set. :)
oh wow.
this is such a spectacular session.
what a beautiful couple…i love her bathing suit…that ruffle around the neck is fabulous!
i love how you get people to open up in your shoots…something i struggle with.
amazing, as always!
The black + whites are my favorites.:)
Having our pictures taken by you is in my bucket list, some day I am sure it will happen.
I love the shot where he’s holding her face, and smooching her. So, so cool and sweet and sexy all at the same time.
They are all so beautiful Tara. I especially love the 5th from the bottom! Breathtaking! Whenever I get tempted to start post processing with some funky vintage feel just because I see someone else’s (or think it’s the trend) I go see your work and remember why I like a timeless classy image. When there’s enough emotion and authenticity in a photograph there’s no need to doctor it up :-) Thanks for sharing your work!
would she be interested in selling those headbands…. i would LOVE one!
these are amazing! <3
I love these, Tara! And I LOVE her bathing suit. <3
I love the headband. And that she brought her camera. I love that it looks like you were all friends, hanging out. What a beautiful girl too.
what an awesome session, loved every single emotion and noticed them all in every shot, super cute couple and so happy together. you rock tara :>
