like they’ve never heard that before right?
we ran around huntington beach like we owned the joint. it was crowded. more crowded than ive ever seen it. taught me not to go back on a weekend evening in the summer. chaos!
how cute are they? i love how the oldest takes after mom, the youngest takes after dad, and the middle is a perfect mix of both.
i had fun with their oldest. love this age.
Beautiful photos! Love the black and white close-up of the girls, it’s so pretty. Thanks for sharing!

What is this wide-angled-ness that you’re doing? I love it! Also, I love genetics and seeing how they play out in a family. Theirs is a perfect example. Thanks for sharing these. Hi, Gassers!
The first one of all three kiddos is really neat, and I love the whole family in the alley!!
Beautiful family, beautiful photos.
I also LOVE the pix in the next post with the girls playing. So whimsical!
mmmmm…these are really nice. love it that they took pics with the oldest in braces…I have tons of clients who are waiting til the “perfect” time…like that exists! haha!
Did you use a flash for fill in the alley picture?…it’s really nice!
That looks like so much fun!
They will love these pictures!
You’re really fantastic at what you do!!!
great photos!! love the pic of the girls!
great shots, T.
You should do this professionally.
The oldest’s eyes are GORGEOUS! You’re such an awesome photog to catch that! Isn’t Cathy a hoot!? :)
Love that 1st picture, and the one of your previous post is just absolutely stunning!!!!!
Your photos are AMAZING. I’ve been looking for a while – but I just wanted to tell you that you ROCK. The photo of the oldest girl is the greatest. I wish I had something that nice from when I was that age. What a gift.
Love that picture by the VW wheels! Such a cool idea. I was in Huntington Beach on a Thursday a few weeks ago and it was totally packed. Can’t imagine a weekend.
This session was killer; love your work
Wow – Amazing!
the oldest daughter’s eyes are amazing. great shots!
Love how you captured those eyes…do you post process them or is that in-camera magic? You’re my photography hero…I want to be just like you when I grow up! :)
these are all so awesome as usual! makes me want to move to cali… we just don’t find color around here like ou can at the beach! great job!

I was in HB all weekend (I’m from Utah) and was secretly hoping I would run into you, not even knowing if you ever did sessions there. Dang! I am so jealous. It was super crowded though huh? I did a session of my friends and I only got a few without a million people in the background. You can see them on my blog.
Love, love, LOVE these!
you got skills girl! You could do photoshoots of earthworms and handbags and still elicit real emotional responses.
…and I mean that in the most complimentary way!
These are truly stunning, what a lucky family! Love the one by the VW.
this looks like a fun shoot! i love the first one and the oldest by the vw van.
LOL at the earthworm comment…….sooooooo very true! again, brilliant work. and that’s mrs. she looks so young. smokin’ HOT! what an adorable little family. i also have to say i think they look more comfortable/casual than any other family shoot i’ve seen you do.
gorgeous tara! you rocked this session!
