my favorite moment from this shoot was when baby peed on the kitchen table and mom laughed and wiped it up. but didnt freak out. my kind of mom. you know…the kind that makes you feel right at home and wouldnt bat an eyelash if you wiped your kids nose with his own shirt. down to earth. love it.
i told mom and dad to kiss each other. big brother thought i was talking to him.
i told them to get up close and personal-cuddly, make out with each other-pretend like i wasnt there. and marc got nervous i think, he wasnt sure what to do, which was so sweet. and he says, "i dont know what to do, im not an actor!" and shii says to him laughing (said what i was thinking too) "what?? you have to act??!"
they laughed-
and i got this.
here’s the album!
i’m flying to the OC tonight.
have the odyessey waiting.

These took my breath away. They are wonderful portraits. I don’t know whether to be inspired or miserable knowing I’ll never achieve what you can. I vote for inspired.

But I’m going to keep on practicing. You do such an amazing job. I love coming here to look at your work. You make me want to go home and get out my camera!

Oh, Tara! These are so beautiful! I’m getting more and more excited by the day to see ours!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ones where the daddy is interacting with the baby. So poignant. Treasures, I tell you! You complete me…(just a little humor in the midst of my fawning)!
I think it says something huge about the person you are that everyone is able to be themselves around you.
You rock :)
Beautiful pictures…specially when the big brother thought that you were talking to him…I’d so love to be like this mom…I freak out too often…aaaack!
as always…love it. could they be any cuter of kiddos!! I love love love these. :)

Wiping your kids nose with their own shirt!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, not sure if I’m hormonal or what, but these photos and your commentary on the shoot have me a little choked up~ It must be amazing to do what you do! Keep it up!
Last night I had a dream that I could take pics like you, Tara. ROFL!!! If only it were so.
i only *wish* that i could work my camera with the same magic that you do. maybe reading the manual will help (or listening to my hubby who knows a lil bit more about it..lol).
sorry your feeling so icky! hope you are back to your usual self soon :)
