the beach was GORGEOUS yesterday. perfect. warm and sunny. i cant believe it might rain again later this week…

the aforementioned carrie met up with us..i love this shot of the girls playing…
happy hump day y’all.

hahaha…the girls playing with monster trucks in the sand. perfect.
fun!!! you lucky duck. our break is over.
the kids are gorgeous! :-)
Ahh, I am dying to go to the beach. I went on Sunday to shoot some pictures, but it was windy and cold and snowing. Took me all day to warm up again.
Excellent photos! I wish we had a spot in VT to take photos like that. Your stuff always rocks.
Phenomenal T, gorgeous kiddos and beautiful photos :) I’m so jaleous at your temperature, it is still so cold overhere. Would love to do some beach shots :)

thanks for being and amazing inspiration tara.
Boy I wish it were warm enough for the beach here! You are lucky to be in sunny California : ) Great shots, I just love #2!

gorgeous, of course!
adorable!
could all those little ones be cuter? nope….and i’ve been going back through all my scrappin’ mags for inspiration, and have to do a double take when i see those little bits. cos they sure have grown!
btw, took your advice, ran out to target and bought a big bubble blowing gadget. works like a dream, provided you don’t have old bubbles. didn’t know that they can actually spoil, but mine sure did. i suppose this year, I will be going through the entire big-ass bottle of them, so as not to find the gooey-mess-that-doesn’t-make-good-bubbles! lol
have fun the rest of the week with your munchkins!
Tara do you ever worry about taking your camera to the beach? Do you take any precautions against the salty air? We’re in Florida and visit Cocoa Beach often, but I’m always worried my camera will end up getting sand blown into it, or salt deposits from the air. Maybe it’s more humid in FL than CA though and that makes a difference…
I think I am going to be your competition for mother of the year award. :-) We here have spring break as well, but are battleing on and of rain……… Thank goodness for ACMoore and Michaels and their endless supply of busy crafts.
Mattea wanted me to remind you that she remembers wearing her ballerina costume to the mall with us.. remeber that shot of her with the headless manequin (sp?)
You are the best mom ever! I need to lend my kids to you, so they can go to the beach. :)
gorgeous as always, tara!
Please tell me your trick for getting your kids to keep letting you take photos of them!! My five year old is just not having it this year!! eeek. Your kids are just beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous!! :) And you should win Mother of the Year!! :) (If for no other reason – for getting those incredible shots! :) )
you are awesome, tara!!
