this was taken today in emily’s backyard. we did a quick quick quick couple of shots before little miss was ready for a feed. i just love her so much. i love snuggling on her. i feel so connected to her. i miss her when i havent seen her in a few days! i honestly think this is my most favorite photo in the entire world at this moment. the way the ivy is framing the stump is just magical. she looks like a little woodland fairy all snuggled up and waiting for someone to come along and love her.
and one emily shot of me with the girls…auntie tara!
fun to have a baby to model for me whenever i want.
okay friends-about the hair and brows-THANK YOU! i really appreciate the hot/cute/feminine comments because ive been feeling anything BUT the last few months. i really need to get it on – and start dieting and exercising. im so unhappy with the weight ive put on in the last two years. it will happen when it happens, i know. but i felt pretty yesterday reading all of your sweet comments and i appreciate it SO MUCH!
as for my brows-i am blessed/cursed with huge brows. like brooke shield crossed with a muppet. not good. it is really hard for me to keep them groomed properly. but i have a girl that you have got to go to if you live in the LA area or the valley. she works at the allen edwards salon in encino and her name is mandy. she does THE BEST JOB ever. and ive had a lot of brow work done in my life! i wish she lived closer. if you go see her, please tell her i sent you. it will make her happy. :)
Okay Tara you don’t know me from a bar of soap but girl you are making me wanna have another baby and you as my bestest friend in the world!
Now since it would be a physical impossibility for me to have another baby I will just have to make do with looking at your fantastic photos of Yindi!
And the shot of Em and Yindi is just simply breathtaking!
You so totally inspire me as a photographer and for that girl I gotta thank you immensely.
Oh and I so know what you mean bout the brows! Mine look like they belong in the deepest darkest jungle to be found!
awesome, awe inspiring shots!
And I’m totally with you on the weight thing. Ugh.
beautiful shots tara. Emily is so lucky to have you. I love that shot of her and Yindi – it’s stunning.
and i love your polka dot shirt – you have to tell me where you got it. :)
when we met at Memory Trends you made me feel better about my weight…and sometimes when I feel down I remember you making me feel better so I want to do the same to you. You are an incredibly talented beautiful gal and I know how hard it is to lose weight. If only you could see yourself the way your fans do, right? :)
wow tara! the photos are beautiful!
Tara, as a fellow photographer, i gotta say you are my hero! i so love your work and this photo of little Yindi just does my head in its so beautiful. My best friend is having a baby at the end of the year…im so going to try something like this!Thankyou for the inspiration.
OMG! That is a stellar pic!! and i got bangs too, but i sweep them off the the side so you can hardly tell :)
awesome photo!! Maybe I’ll try some quick, quick shots!
Amazing photos!!! :)
love love love the first photo!
simply gorgeous!
Such great pictures! That first one should be hung up in a gallery somewhere. It’s perfection! And so is she!!!
Your love for them shines through in those pictures. There is nothing better than being the fun auntie who gets to love and spoil them. I LOVE all your stuff, but these may be my favorite. Thanks so much for sharing your gift with us.
Oh, and the shirt that you are wearing in the 3rd one is fantastic! Where did you get it?
WOW, you are so good at what you do! That photo of Yindi is my fav baby picture ever! So beautiful and peaceful! They are lucky to have you document everything for them. And I love the brows and bangs too!
Tara, all of your photos are just lovely, I stalk your blog regularly soaking up all the colour and quirky details in your photos. BUT, we rarely see you, I like your new hairstyle so don’t be so hard on yourself …. more photos of you please. Oh, that photo of Yindi on the stump is just delicious. Thanks for sharing.

Oh so precious. I love the whole ‘ivy’ connection, very special. Lucky wee girl to you have you in her little life :)
This is just such a magical picture! I can’t take my eyes off of it. What a great gift for a friend! Beautiful! Shelley
this is SUCH a beautiful photo. i am in awe of your creative eye. it helps that the subject is just so sweet and precious too…congrats to you, too, “Auntie!”
Tara I so feel you on the brows. Mine are exactly the same, just hairy and thick and dark like Bert and Ernie…. NE ways I wish there was someone round here I could see, but I don’t so I pluck and I have to literally do it everyday b/c they grow like I’m sprinking Miracle-Gro on them…wish the hair on my head would grow so fast!!
You look great girl!
These shots are just amazing Tara.. I love the first and second ones they are just amazing. You leave me speechless on many occasions..
oh T…those are beautiful. Please pass along some congrats. :)
oh
my
like almost tears over that first one
okay that first one is breathtaking. it made me think of those Anne Geddes pictures, but on the way opposite end of creepy..which means yours are WAY better. I’m sorry, but sometimes picturing a baby as a snail or a worm just doesn’t fly with me.
but Yindi? amongst the ivy? oh yeah.
I bet they wuuuuvvvveee their Auntie Tara :)
Always love baby pics… but what really got me is the one Em took of you three. Love emotional photos. That takes the cake.
And as a fellow photographer, isn’t it funny how your favorite changes EVERY shoot you do? It’s almost like… ok, been there, seen that one 1000000 times, but this NEW one takes my breath away all over again. I’ve heard it said before that artist’s favorite projects are ALWAYS the ones they are currently working on, otherwise, why do it?
It’s what keeps me going!
beautiful Tara!
That’s such a wonderful photo Tara. When you wrote “with ivy framing the photo” I was looking for “Ivy”…kind of works doesn’t it?
as always BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS, you are my inspiration with my photography.
this so is beautiful, Tara. wow.
this picture is AMAZING! it seriously takes me somewhere…fairy-land indeed.
that is an AMAZING picture of little yindi…how lucky she is to have your for an auntie!
Beautiful. I am jealous of your close proximity to innocence and bliss… lucky duck
Wow, that is a beautiful picture. Fairy is exactly what I thought. She might actually be cuter than Bryson! :)
Love the photo of Yindi, what a doll! I love all your photos!
I’m with you on the weight thing. I finally joined Weight Watchers and I’m taking a boxing class twice a week. It is so much fun boxing and I have lost 10lbs since May 21.
Hi, I only just stumbled onto your blog, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve wanted to be a photographer, have been saving up for a decent camera and courses and such, but have been thinking maybe not since it’s so expensive. But then I saw your Yindi in the ivy pic, and it reaffirmed my faith. Thank you for that.
I know I don’t know you, but I think you look beautiful. Granted, it’s one or two pics on a blog, but still. Don’t be too hard on yourself, ok? We all want to change something, but never forget you’re already gorgeous!!
ohhhhhhhh, these are all great shots!!! I LOVE the ivy shot and that one of Em with Yindi….it’s breathtaking! So sweet for Auntie Tara!! :-)
i think this is all i ever have to write on your blog : you are amazing :-)
