  1. Tara, you are truly a gifted photographer as we gave you so much trouble! I am so happy with these shots and you caught each of our personalities so well!

    I think the stories behind the photos make them even more precious…Chloe running in that one shot away from the family with her lip out clearly over tired (no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t get that kid to stand still)…the girls loving jumping on the couch while Tom looked on in horror (he has strict new couch rules)…Chloe on the chair laughing (that is so my favorite!) and you shot it right before she jumped off…me patting Tom’s cheek trying to get him to loosen up while you told me some of the things I could do to help!…so many funny moments! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these wonderful photos! Suzy

  2. LOVE. that is the only word that comes to my mind. that family=LOVE. your photographs=LOVE. These are really lovely and unique. I love that you got the boy with the computer, the daughter doing ballet, the daddy reading a book to his little girl, the parents in their room….

    beautiful.

  3. OK, seriously, you are so talented! EVERY picture you take looks like it came straight out of a magazine! (or should go straight into one!) I love that you capture the personality of each family member. You are amazing!!

  4. Truely amazing!!! What a beautiful family! That tu tu pic in the pink room is incredible! Oh, and to capture a teen the way you did…with his mother next to him laughing…priceless!! Great job Tara.

  5. AWESOMETASTIC pics!!! I’m in love w/ ALL of them. I esp. love the pink girly ones and the red couch and Suzy and Tom on the bed and Thane in b & w… And Tom and Sophie on the chair and, and, and… Oh, I can’t decide. I love them ALL! I’m SO jealous!!!

    And Tara, thanks for the email yesterday :)

  6. These are fab, Tara!! Suzy is so, so cute and what a beautiful family she has. LOVE the photos of the girls in their bedroom and of Suzy and her dh on their bed. Such a neat, casual feel about all of these…so real. Great job.

  7. HI Tara

    I’ve been an avid ‘follower’ of your blog since coming across it on Cathy Z’s blog (i’m a scrapbooker!!) and was hooked on it ever since…you totally changed my view of portrait shots! You go, girl!
    I know this is a long shot but if you are ever in this part of the world – SIngapore; (a beautiful sunny isle i must say!!) I’d love to have you take shots of me and my significant other..so does that give you an excuse to take a holiday over here?! hahaha!
    Just me,

  8. You really did a great job T ( yet again) love all the shots you made. Great lighting and all so clear and happy faces. Just love them all.
    What kind of lense do you use though, and please can you tell me some technical stuff? I’m so in de learning fase overhere *LOL* trying getting the kids in the right way to sit, stand or whatever just to catch the light in their eyes and stuff. :)
    Photographing against the light outside and still so clear, you must have a trick or something *big smile*
    T. You rock girl, you are awesome, you really are :)

  9. Tara,

    Have you considered creating a flickr account?

    It would be great for everyone to post comments on individual pics that each person likes and you can create photo “sets” of each shoot you do. You would just link to your photos sets (e.g., http://www.flickr.com/photos/kbreenbo/sets/) from your blog.

    Of all the photo sites out there, I just love flickr because it’s more of a prosumer-user site and very inspirational too.

  10. These are so wonderful! I especially love the ballerina shots in the very girly room. And the mom and dad on their bed. And the whole family walking on the aidewalks shots, and the young man in front of the bricks- such great texture. Did I comment on all of them yet? Because they are all so great :)

  11. I adore that one of the little girl dancing in front of the window! I have pics of my boys in a tutu…but the lighting isn’t as good:) I think my mom has officially linked everyone she knows to your blog to look at every picture you have ever taken.

  12. that picture looks lke potterybarn hired you to shoot for their catalog!! So precious! You are a Rockin’ photographer! I just came across some family pix you took of us right before we left Cali. Aidan was only about 6 months old I think! I still love them and haven’t had any photos of matt and i together like that since then! It is due time! Maybe we will catch a flight! HAHAHA I WISH!!!!!!!!!!

  14. Tara – What an amazing job you did with these pictures of Suzy’s family!! I am in such awe. And of course the beach pictures are awesome but seeing them in their home is so fresh and relaxing to see. I love them all. Such talent!!
