one of my favorite sessions this year, mainly because it took place on a sailboat and i havent been on a sailboat since i was a little girl. my dad used to sail to catalina with us on weekends. i was little, under the age of two and three i think. i remember being in yellow footy pajamas and a life vest…
so this was really fun for me.
happy monday! i am going to be working with my cocoa daisy kit today after anna’s dance class this morning. so look for layouts tonight or tomorrow morning!
these are lovely.. love the whites
What an incredibly fun shoot. You can just see their love, playfulness and beauty….I would call that a complete shoot with all those factors! This is some of your best work…there is so much emotion. K
“if the wind is right you can sail away, find tranquility”.
love these pics. i love all the diverse places you are finding. is there a sailing magazine? i think they would love these for their cover.
i also love that you went sailing in yellow-footed pjs and a life vest. any pics of that?
These might be my new favorites of yours (and being in WA, I am sooo partial to the Seattle ones). Love the white, clean, crisp, salty feel (I can smell them, they’re so good!)

Lovely. Beautiful family. These are really nice, I’m sure the family loves them too. Love the first one with the little boy and his dad-that’s really adorable.
Beautiful!! The last one is my favorite. Clever!
wow. that is so cool!!! i love them.
These are so great, Tara! The last two are so fun! :)
What a wonderful session. Must have been fun for you to remember your childhood while capturing this family’s memories.
OMG…what a great session! All of the pictures are great!
I love your kit from Cocoa Daisy too…I was thinking I needed to order it and have some fun… :)
Beautiful as always!!
Tara, you did a great job with some challenging lighting on that shoot. I’m sure the “sway” of being on the water wasn’t helpful, either. Beautiful work!
Totally amazing photos! They are now my new favorites… thanks for sharing!
dang. this is cool! what a fun shoot!
these are beautiful!
you are the luckiest gal in the world :)
looks like such a fun session!!! just beautiful.
I understand why this is one of your favorites! I love the way these pics make me feel!! They ROCK!!!
Those area all totally amazing! How lucky that you got to go on that boat!
What a gorgeous family.
Reminds me of Gant/ Ralph Lauren advertisements in magazines :)
WOW! A fantastic session. The boat really adds interest. Great expressions. What fun!
definitely my new favorites of yours. as i was looking at them my mouth was hanging open in awe of how beautiful they were. what a great idea and change to go on a sailboat. great shots tara! you always amaze me with how fresh and different your photos are. thanks for sharing!!
Fab girl.. looks like it was an awesome session

so jealous of your location.
no sailboats here.

LOVE the sailboat pics! we must go to catalina next summer- it is soo much fun. capn will hopefully have a sailboat by then. also just purchased the Nathan add on cocoa daisy :)
Wow! What a gorgeous family and what gorgeous pictures. Something about the combination of the family plus photographer has made this my favorite shoot you’ve done!
What a beautiful family.
just amazing! As usual!
ummm….WOW.
You are the best at getting personalities out and shining, I admire that tremendously!
Tara – as a professional photographer in Richland, Wa – I am inspired by your photography! I LOVE the style of your photographs. What do you shoot with? What lens gives you that awesome shallow depth of field? Do you up the saturation on your images? Thank you so much for sharing your work with all of us.
love the one with the fish & boy very COOL>>>>and i can’t wait to see your Cocoa Daisy layouts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are some of my favorites you’ve done! I love them!! It makes you want to go on a sailing vacation, doesn’t it!!
you’ve done it again! Their skin looks so beautiful. Great shots and I bet it was so fun for you too.
Love the one of the little boy on the fish wall. I also love original location!!! What fun!!!!!
Now…to get ME a boat!!!!!!!
:-)
I love these photos. I am still waiting for my kit. I got the McKenna add-on. Thanks for putting together such a terrific kit.
These are so cool with all the white. :) I can’t believe you used to sial all the way to Catalina! When we went on the express boat, I was overcome with nausea. :) So jealous that you have the option of weekday morning dance class. That would be helpful here!
Hey Tara- I lurk here so much and love all your shoots but there was something in this one that made me have to comment. Love these so much. :)
sigh … as much as i love sailboats, you won me over with a public restroom. love it so, so big.
These photos are to die for. Your talent inspires me.
