And it was Fabi asking if I had left yet.
I had, I was already a few blocks away. Why, I asked, was everything okay?
Oh, yes, she said….she had just forgotten to take a photo with me before I said goodbye.
Next time, we said! And giggled.
And then happily, a few days later I emailed her and told her she might have forgotten, but I hadn’t.

More from this beautiful Brazilian family soon.
I have been under the weather since Thursday with strep, and boy was it a doozy. I am grateful for pain medication and antibiotics today.

you may have seen my twitter update about my session with drew, mentioning that i was in love with their little family, but what i didnt mention is that they almost died in a fatal parking garage roof/shopping cart accident in which i was at fault.
happily, chuck was quick on his feet and saved the day before catastrophe. i was MILLISECONDS away from throwing my camera down and saving drew and brayden when chuck righted the cart and all was well.
i was also updated after the session of three facts: drew had a huge bruise on her arm, chuck had a fat lip, and brayden got a scratch on his face. leading me to think about adding the following to my website: WARNING! PHOTO SHOOTS WITH TARA MAY CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LIGHT BRUISING, TRIPPING, LAUGHING AT ONESELF, LAUGHING AT ONES PHOTOGRAPHER, FOREHEAD GOOSE EGGS, FACIAL IRREGULARITIES, SPRAINED WRISTS AND/OR ALMOST BAILING OUT OF A SPEEDING SHOPPING CART. ASSUMED TO BE WORTH IT, BUT PLEASE HIRE AT OWN RISK.
love ya drew! :)
