about a year ago, or so, i got an email from a photographer from NYC. her name was bentley waters and we hit it off over email pretty nicely. she helped me out with location and dinner ideas while i was in NYC, but the day we were supposed to meet up, i woke up with a nasty stomach bug.
i still so badly wanted to meet her, so i was so happy when she asked me to photograph her family while she was here in CA. she was even more lovely in person-and so was her family.
her brothers were in town also, so we dragged them into a few photos…
somebody’s trying to get away…
this next series of just the two of them are some of my favorites from the session…
the kid was undeniably adorable.
fantastic! They are all geat, but the couple shots are lovely. And I really dig the one with the brothers & the hugging. Sweet!
Awwwww I love the big smile with his 4 little teeth :)
these are gorgeous. i am in love with the one of her smiling alone. beautiful!!
Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous!!
Look at those sweet cheeks!! (little guy–Lol!)
She’s beautiful!!
what an amazing session. i love them all. no one can do photography like you. brilliant tara!
Great shoot as always!
YOu so rule……thanks for sharing.
That picture of the two of them at the bottom of the staircase is unreal. So intimate and touching. I love it.
That baby is way too cute. I love baby smiles with just two teeth on the bottom. Too adorable.
ohhhhhhh, what a nice surprise to see us here. i LOVE the photos, as you know and tonight am going to place my order. they documented such a special weekend for us. i cant thank you enough.
I love so many of these, but mostly the ones of him leaning into her. darling fam.

I want to squeeze that little guy’s cheeks right off! What a beautiful little boy. You get such great shots.

i love the color of her top. it is such a perfect compliment to brick walls and the silvery gray stairs. and dude- how cute is that little guy on the chair??!?!? :)
these photos steal the show……i can see what a great family they are.

These are so awesome – every single one. Love the one of Mom about to kiss that little cutie’s chubby cheeks, and the couple shots are amazing. And Bentley Waters…what a cool name, huh?
Love your perspective and the color is beautiful. I am crazy about taking pictures of my family and want to see if you wouldn’t mind sharing your camera and favorite lens. I am so inspired, thank you!
Just saw what was in your bag, thank you!
As always, love your photos!
