one family of five, a couch, a front yard, a dog, and me

i am still on a Self Imposed Hermit Mode Internet Break, but i had to share these. this is my friend kristina, and her family. as we were planning this shoot, we were trying to decide on what we could do. i have wanted to get someone on their couch outside for ages. at least a year. and kristina was up for it. so i went for it.

and they were perfect.

that is my favorite family shot that we got, but i also love this one:

White_proof_33_1

the hint of a child’s leg to the right of the photo, with kristina, in the center of it all. it is so her life. little girls running in the background.

i loved doing this. it was a close call, with rain and late airplanes attempting to thwart our plans of perfect lighting. but we made it. it was so rushed and crazy but oh so fun.

perfect in its imperfection. so glad i captured what i did.

  1. Amazing photos, as always! Those girls are going to be heartbreakers when they get older :)

    If you are up for answering questions, I am just curious how long it takes you to do a photoshoot like this? How many photos do you snap… and how many are deleted? Just curious :)

    Thanks for sharing, Tara!

  2. I gotta tell you, Tara, your shoots are always so inspiring. You just really capture families and people in this amazing way. You can FEEl their personalities just shooting off the screen. If we’re ever in CA, we’re making a booking. :o)
