from a shoot on saturday. i am going through the images, getting ready to proof them and came across this doozy. look at this kid. she was amazing to hang out with. amazing hair, amazing eyes. FUN personality.
i had her in front of her bedroom window for this shot and metered for her face. then i adjusted curves/levels in PS to get her skin ton the way i wanted it.
BEAUTIFUL!!! (Her and the photo of her!!) I can just see this photo in a Parent’s magazine or something!! I bow down to you, once again!! :)

Inspiration at it’s finest!!!!
Awesome photo Tara!
can i say ‘wow’ as well? WOW! you scrummilicious little minx photographer, you!
WOW!
This is totally cool. You really did a great job with this and she looks stunning in that young girl innocent kind of way. So much better than a lot of other stuff I see. I hope you’re proud of this shot. You did a great job.
hey tara! I bought a meter out at Samys when I was over in LA – and I dont even know how to use the damn thing! You sure know babes – judging by that excellent shot. Her eyes are magnetic. Her parents will be so excited.
Hope you are all well xx
Wow she is a beauty and you captured those freckles so well :) Thanks for the techo info as well.
I cannot believe how great you make a purse sitting on the front seat look. It is a very cool purse.
Breathtaking T. just breathtaking
Alette
very striking!
Awesome shot! It must be entered into a photo competition!
Did you meter with a hand-held meter or in-camera? Just wondering. Thanks a bunch for the geeky photo info.

Oh. my. gosh. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gorgeoso! Simply perfection. Don’tcha just love it when you find a photo that just makes you gasp?
I was just struggling yesterday to take a photo in front of our living room window. So frustrating. I didn’t know where I was going wrong…thanks so much for the info…I’ll try it a little differently now. Truly beautiful!
Loooove it! Do I say that every time? Feels like I do! ; )
That shot is spectacular! I am so impressed. Woah! Great job!

You amaze me everytime I look at one of your pictures. Wow! I can’t tell you how many time I look at a photo (or one of my own photos) and try to imagine what it would look like with the Tara look. Thanks for sharing with us.
absolutely incredible…love it
INCREDIBLE :)
Guess I’ll have to figure out how to use a light meter then since my shots in front of windows NEVER end up that nice!
That looks so beautiful!!!! Do you get rid of the original background and jsut make it white? What do you do to soften your photos? Thanks!!
amazing shot.
breathtaking.
You totally blow my mind…..seriously. WOWZERS!
Stunning capture, Tara.
the little girl has such a striking presence…and her eyes…they just say it all…incredible photo…thx for sharing…can’t wait to see the rest of the fam…
seriously, i’m hypnotized.
thanks you guys! grace-totally hypnotizing-she was wonderful.
i metered for her face, thus blowing out the window behind her. i didnt have to remove anything from the background. then in photoshop i adjusted the whole photo with curves and levels to get the color and the skin the way i like it. then resized and sharpened for web.
FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!
Tara, do you shoot in raw or jpeg?
gorgeous
GORGEOUS!!!!!!
tara – you’re photography totally blows me away!!! she looks like she’s in a GAP ad!
