  1. Hey Tara,
    I’ve been admiring your work on this blog for a while now (sorry to lurk, i just couldn’t think of what to say! lol) congrats on your new column, you really have a great eye for light and design.
    I’m a photographer from northern Ontario Canada and am hugely jealous of the amount of sunlight you have in California. Every time you do a shoot at the beach I melt!
    Thanks for your stories and inspiration,

  2. that’s the little hole-in-the-wall place on williams field and higley isn’t it? you silly girl i was totally gonna mention that place to you because everytime i drive by i want to take pics there too. you did the potatoe barn too didn’t you? i can’t wait to see the rest.

    anna, your family is beautiful. i don’t know what i was expecting you to look like but not that. you are beautiful. (i’m the one you talked to when you…..well you know ) ;)

  3. She is stunning! Fantastic colors! Looks like a fun place to get some neat shots… Although, I bet if you were in a junk yard you’d find a spot and make it look cool! When you got it you got it! And you REALLY got it!

  4. Sometimes you can just see how much someone loves someone else…i mean really see, it’s not for the camera…it’s real…and you can see it in how the husband looks at her in that photograph. Amazing right!

    Love the colors too!

  5. Your photographs are inspiring to me. I would have loved to have met up with you while you were here in my little corner of the world. It would be wonderful to have tara w. pictures of our family…maybe next time.

    Do I win a prize if I can guess the location correctly?!?!? Hot dog stand, Williams Field and Higley?

  6. she looks like the mom from gilmore girls, ya know the really pretty dark haired girl who is too young to even be a mom, only this lady is even prettier!
    love the shots.
