one:

two:
this shirt that is out of stock and is a must have. must. have.
three:
barb uil aka jinky art has a typepad blog now. (she is such a copycat) haahaha
four:
she hired me to do a photoshoot for her family while they are here in california on vacation!!! exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point!!! and so, i twisted her arm, begged, borrowed, and stole in order to hire her for a photo shoot of my very own! the beach is not too far off from my house, so she is coming here! i guess that means ill have to paint my kitchen table and do the dishes.
five:
drew is finally swimming in the ocean and using a boogie board all on his own. he has been so scared up to this point and we have basically left him alone about it. i cant tell you how happy jeff and i are-and now he gets to go surfing with daddy and papa…its the start of a new generation of surfer dudes. i love it.
ok, having you and jinky together is gonna be AWESOME. i cannot wait to see those two shoots! oh man.
WOW.. that’s gonna rock! Those are going to be some awesome pics!!!
They had a thing here recently that was surfing for kids with “stuff”, Alex’s school co-director (a totally hot surfer dude) is involved in it he wanted Alex to go sooo bad. But Geoff was way too nervous though, we think he’s still too small…. maybe next year!
Cool about Drew!! I can’t wait to see some pics!
Oh how exciting!!! Both of those photo shoots are going to be so worth the wait.
Thanks for the link to the blog.
Congrats to Drew.
It’s like a meeting of great photographers! Yeah, I’m so jealous for both of you. Can not wait to see the pictures.
That will be so awesome. I hope that both of you will share some of your photos (of each other) with us all.
Also, enjoying the little changes around the blog. I really liked the clean lines of your banner before, but I am also “loving” the huge fancy parens that you have now. (And think the new “about” photo is too fun, too.)
Anticipating August like crazy . . .
how exciting! can’t wait to see the pics from that session! what an awesome layout as well!
i really don’t like to post on the “big shot” blogs- i’m sure you have better things to do than read my 2 cents. BUT i have to tell ya i live next to a downeast and i was there yesterday and they have a million of those shirts on the racks in stock. since i get inspiration from you on a DAILY basis, if you want one (or five) i’ll pick it up…it’s the least i can do! email me if ya want. ps- the polka dots ones are so cute irl, as are the cross over ones- flattering ya know!
leah-i liked the clean lines too, and thanks-dont know why i tried something new-just bored today i guess. :)
kellymc-ARE YOU KIDDING??? yes yes yes. ill email you. THANKS!
Well, I can’t wait to see the photos from you and Barb!!!!!
Fun layout from Kelly C.
i love those shirts, tara! i hope you can get one. :)
Tara – I think you should make your own t-shirt.
you just need a plain T from Old Navy, some fabric paint and an afternoon with Emily being creative. So your jeans too, and your flip flops and then the kitchen table. Mwahahahahhahaha
Wow — Thats some BIG stuff — FUN STUFF — ENJOY

1. That layout is so cool.
2. Love that shirt, especially in brown.
3. Barb Uli’s pictures are AMAZING.
4. The photo shoot with her will be awesome.
5. Love that your son is swimming in the ocean now. My daughter got into it last summer and it was the best feeling in the world.
now i want that shirt in brown and I can’t have it..whhhhaaa. super cute.
congrats again on Barb…i can’t wait to see what you two do!!
drooling just thinking of the shots that will come out of BOTH of you!!!
Soooooooo Jealous!!!!
Oh man. I am SO jealous!! Not only of her, but of you. In fact I can’t tell who I’m more jealous of. Either way, I can’t WAIT to see the results!! How exciting!
And yeah, that kelli girl sure knows what she’s doing. :)
Tara – yay for you on all the fun stuff!! Any yay for me on the link to DownEast. I’ve been hunting and hunting for some shirts just like this and can’t find them. I’m gonna’ be an ordering fool! Thank you, Thank you!
normally i wouldn’t post, but i left my lurker’s invisibility cloak in my other pair of jeans.
1. i have those shirts. love those shirts.
2. i really hope you charged kelli a lot for that photo shoot. :) cause she is getting a lot of use out of those pictures. but that is perfectly understandable because they are fabulous. and so are you!
TARA. Thanks for sharing. I love Jinky Art. I want to be Barb when I grow up. Oh wait, I want to be you too…and Adrienne Looman. Oh and Wonder Woman. And Spider Man, no wait, I want to marry Spider Man (only if it’s Toby McGuire). OK, I’m out.
i’m so jealous that barb will be taking your photos! i tried to email her about coming to maryland to do ours when she is in the states, but she was already filled up :( i can’t wait to see BOTH of your photos of each other’s families.
I just read that you would be photographing Barb’s family on her blog- I was so very excited! Now I am *double-thrilled* that she will be photographing yours! You are BOTH such an inspiration! Thanks so much for sharing your life and photos with us!
Tara, how cool that you & Barb will be doing a photo shoot swap. Wow — can’t wait to see the photos.
I agree that the shirt is cool — hope you can get one…or two…or ten!
I still haven’t posted the pics you proofed for me — love them so. (I’m uh, having technical difficulties…smile)
more fun photos. Yeah!
I love Kelli’s page . My fave at the moment!
all fabby news :)
OMG I just about had another baby – I thought you were coming to Australia!
So, I’m wondering if you and Barb would do a podcast!! Then we could enjoy two great inspirations yuckin’ it up and get a chance to hear a lovely Aussie accent!
Thanks for sharing Barb’s site. Another awesome and inspiring photographer. Can a person like me actually learn how to shoot like this or are you born with these genes or what. WOW-TOTALLY AMAZING WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate you!! Naw… I’m just kidding…. I just want to meet Jinky! I’m jealous. I wanted to meet you TOO!! Maybe next time ;) ;)
i am totally excited and i know i am so lucky.
miss jinky is worth every penny! im glad she decided she could make time to do it. THANKS LOVE!
a podcast would be really fun. maybe ill have to buy a microphone before august. ;)
Just looked at your photo a day- can’t imagine why you would wait 10 years to dip in the ocean… but I am glad you waited no more. Nice to see you enjoyed it. THX for sharing. You inspire me.
