getting a shot like this of mckenna is PURE LUCK. luck luck luck.
i am lucky.
this was at her school picnic today. her teacher got my attention, pointing at mckenna, "tara! camera!"
i ran over and got three shots before she moved. she just sat like this as cute as can be, resting in the shade.
These are some of the most beautiful photos of yours that I have EVER seen. She is absolutely gorgeous.
Such sweet pictures, of a sweet girl, by her sweet mama. Yes, you’re lucky.
awww, yep you sure are lucky.
Girl you have got it going on!! Another beautiful photo.. you capture the essence of everyone you photograph especially your own babies. Love what you do… and dang it girl you do it sooooo well. ;o) xoxo

I got chills looking at these pictures. You really captured her, didn’t you? Thank you for sharing her and your journey. I hope she had the best birthday ever! I enjoy reading your blog and studying your photography–true inspiration.

oh so cute..i love it when they surprise you & sit still:)
What a great shot. How could you not just love that face!
Can’t wait to see those birthday pics.
Beautiful girl. I hope your party was lots of fun.
Sweet little angel face :)
Tara! Those pictures are just beautiful! Love, love, love them!
Beautiful shots – thank goodness her teacher saw her. Love that one on the bottom.
Tara… she is just gorgeous! Orange is definately her colour! Lucky you to have a sweet thing like her.
Even MORE sweetness!! :O)
These are awesome.. What a cutie.
What a sweet photo!! :) See, she’s definitely a photographer’s kid. Only photographer’s kids pose until their crazy parents show up with a camera!! (Well, at least that’s what my daughter does! LOL!)
Very lucky indeed! Great shots! :) I like how she is looking off in the second one just thinking up what she’s going to do next! Can’t wait for birthday pics. Hope your mojo is back on track today.

Even more sweetness!!
What beautiful pictures you got of Miss McKenna!!! I thought that it was so funny that her teacher told you to grab your camera. Don’t you just love it when other people are looking out for your scrapbook worthy moments? LOVE IT!
She is absolutely precious.
OHHH my goodness. She is beautiful!!
I LOVE the one where she is looking right at you…it’s so peaceful….

This is one of those rare moments where everything comes together…the lighting, the pose, the look on McKenna’s face. It is just like a nugget of gold. So glad you got it.

You’ve got a beautiful daughter!
There is something about taking good photographs of people you love that make those photos so much better than any you’ve taken before – or at least it is that way for me.
