beautiful!!
these are so so beautiful Tara! Im so happy for Em that she has such a great record of that time
Wow, that first picture is amazing. Definitely intense.
Love both the pictures…as always, stunning job.
I hope you don’t mind me sharing my opinion…that photo makes me uncomfortable. I often have my kids around when I am on the computer and jumped when I saw this. I do love your blog, you are very talented.
tara- great shots! love the second conversion.. and the first one is great.. makes me feel happy. i can see the love. nothing wrong with it at all!
what a great bunch of pix from the last week! Beautiful as always!
what a gorgeous family.
you can just feel the love.
wow, those are AMAZING!
z-the only thing that bothers me is that you didnt post with your real name or email. there is nothing wrong with your opinion. sorry to make you jump.
Wonderful!
Tara this photo is so beautiful. It might be my favorite i’ve ever seen of yours! (The top one) I just love photo’s of dads!
that photo of Em & DH is amazing! love it! wish i had something like it- my child producing days are over though! sad!
Beautiful work. So intimidated here, but love all the inspiration!
Very unique, intense, and simply beautiful.

Beautiful..Simply Beautiful!!
Very special photos.
breathtaking…
intense and powerful.
Beautiful photos.
those are the most beautiful ‘maternity’ shots I have ever seen, you have such an amazing talent to capture relationships and connections.
Nic said what I was going to say. That was one of the best maternity portraits I have ever seen. What a beautiful moment. I also love the mother and daughter pic. Just beautiful.
Beautiful, its beyond words….very thought and feeling provoking…
Wow Tara!! Those photos are amazing! Just gorgeous! I wish you were my friend. lol
WOW is all I can say. That is one of those photos you want to blow up really big. Great job Tara!!!
Amazing! Wish I had had beautiful photos of me taken while I was expecting. They are very modest and tasteful. Nothing that should make someone “jump”. You see more bare skin in commercials. Geesh!
z-feel like i need to expand for you, even though i dont know if you will ever read this. i am not upset that you chose to use a fake name, just that you felt like you had to. your opinion is valid, i am sure you aren’t the only one out there that feels the same way. and like i said-im sorry to have made you jump or feel uncomfortable.
i, however, and the woman in the photo, didn’t feel there was anything that would be innapropriate to post here. for children or otherwise. in fact, we were both proud to show this photo, and thought it might inspire someone out there.
i am me, and you are you-and thats okay with me. :)
i hope not to have lost you as a blog reader because of our difference of opinion.
brilliant photography tara! and your expansion to z……well said.
I wish I had been comfortable enough in my own pregnant skin to take a photo like the first one. You are incredible, inspiring, and so free. I love it!
Tara, first off beautiful pictures. you realy inspire me. second what a wonderful way to respond to z, you realy have class.
Stunning—the intensity of his gaze is powerful (& I see the resemblance to Yindi!) the second photo is fab too! WOW!
What amazing photos…you really captured the mood, love and devotion. Intense is the correct word. :)
Tara – while everyone here is loving this image (me included!) I wanted to tell you how beautifully you worded your “expansion”. It actually made me respect you even more – you for being you and embracing you and helping others embrace themselves and all of our differences. Thank you for opening up your eyes so that we, too, may open our own eyes and embrace the things we may not have done ourself – but at least we’ve been exposed to it and have learned from it. Wow -that was long, sorry! ;0)
I agree with z. And I’m totally willing to use my real name and email.
These photos especially the second one make me feel uncomfortable. I just felt like you should know.
I do love your photography and continue to be inspired by the photos you post. I will keep reading your blog even though I disagree with this particular post.
Wow…These are beyond…I love them…I love that i know YOU…I love that I know em & mick and that your love and respect for them is evedent in these photos…They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing these with me…loves

Wow. That first picture is amazing. My first thought was that I wished *I* had a picture of me and my husband like that one! Such feeling in it! You’re inspiring — and that couple is gorgeous, I should add! I bet their kids will grow up to be real beauties.
LOVE love love your photos. Since I’ve found you, I always think WWTD before and after snapping a shot (what would Tara do :-). How I’d love to have your eye and photoshop abilities!
I do understand where Z is coming from, relative to the second picture of the (seemingly) nude little girl. I gasped a little bit, in a sad way. There’s something provocative about it.
I do think the mom’s pregnant belly shot is terrific!
Oooh, such lovely photos as usual. The photos don’t disturb me at all (quite the contrary actually), however I had to look at the second one twice because with her slight frame, the little one’s slightly round belly made me do a double take.
mmmmmm..that first one makes me *feel* i too am pregnant and would love to have a shot like this…i wonder if i can find someone comfortable enough to take it for me.
the first one… the intensity… the eyes… just breathtaking in the most literal sense. love your skill in capturing such intense wordless emotions.
thanks again for all the thoughts-the second one is a bit provocative-you are right-but i dont think its because she is only in her knickers-but its her expression-and that she had leftover eye make up on from playing earlier that day. there was something about it that made me gasp too. little girls run around with nothing but their knickers on, and i think at this age it is entirely appropriate.
like i said before, i know they arent for everyone, but i only see innocence and beauty in them and i hope you can see them the way i do. or at least realize i wasnt unthinking and careless when i posted these.
i know there are weirdos out there that can misconstrue anything that is posted on the net. that is something that anyone with a blog has to keep in mind. i know someone whose blog was found when they searched for boys/cereal or something like that. your kids can be fully dressed and be found appealing to the sickos.
there are things you can do to protect yourself-dont use words that may be searched for, not even in naming your image-especially words that may be “interesting” to certain people. dont share private information. (schools, last names, etc) and some would say, dont post images of any type where the child is in any form of undress. its up to you to decide what feels right for your family.
thanks again.
