these beautiful women live on a working ranch, and on a college tour of california, stopped off in newport beach to meet me.mothers and daughters are so inspiring for me to work with, probably because of the amazing relationship i have with my own mom. it really does seem like only a week ago that i was 16 years old and she was still trying to cuddle me on her lap…these girls were super fun to work with, loved my ideas, (or pretended to) and most importantly, loved each other very much. it was plain to see.
as this guy came into my peripheral vision as i was shooting her in this spot, i thought-keep on coming, keep on coming…i LOVE capturing surfers in the background at the beach.

Holy you-know-what…are these the most gorgeous women on the planet or what? Unreal photos again! They are all stunning and beautiful.
HOLY COW! They are gorgeous and so are the pictures. Great shots Tara.
Wow, which one is the mom? :-) They are all beautiful! I just LOVE all the shots. Awesome job!!
I LOVE the shot with the surfer in the background. Love the contrast between the young woman about to face the world, and the mature gentleman, who has probably been there, done that and is now laying back and having fun!
OMG! Gorgeous! All of them!
WOW… these ar gorgeous
oh baby, get me some boots! LOVE that one.
absoltely gorgeous pictures!!!!
These are absolutely wonderful. Having that type of relationship with my mom, these just make me smile. :)
gorgeous. gorgeous. gorgeous. gorgeous.
LOVE the capture of the three sisters (but who can tell for sure, they all look so young!!) against the pier…the texture of the wood is yummy…..gorgeous work….truly inspiring!
Beautiful girls! Great session, Tara!
Oh….I am speechless.
LOVING the surfer. And I am NOW wishing I could get my mom and my sister in one place for pictures. You are amazing.
these are gorgeous! love the boots, their clothes, and they are all so darn pretty!
I just love these, can’t even find the right words to describe why, I just do. Love coming to your blog, your pictures have such happiness.
beautiful!
what GORGEOUS girls they are!! This looks like such a fun shoot, now i wish you could shoot my mother and i, altho she’s VERY camera shy and would surely drive you bonkers ;)
SO beautiful. Makes me want to go home with them :) Do you use any actions? If so, will you share with us which ones?
arent they gorgeous girls???
they were completely too easy to work with.
gitz-i didnt use actions on this shoot-i just adjusted curves, levels, and color to taste.
Um wow, these are amazing! Love their outfits, they just make the pictures!
amazing, as always.
Wow, those girls are gorgeous!! Beautiful pictures, great job Tara.
OK I had to look HARD to find the mother. I was thinking there were 4 sisters. I know that sounds so cliche’d but i really couldn’t spot Mum!! Gorgeous shots! Love your work as always. Particularly the boots shot!
I think these are my most favorite of yours’ yet….simply amazing tara.
Your work as of late as been uber bee-u-ti-fullll!!!
The image of the 3 girls in color are ‘eye’ catching. Beautiful!
WOW. These girls are gorgeous, and your shots are incredible! My favorites of yours – ever. How does one family get so beautiful?! :)
Wonderful shots T. LOve what you did on this one. Wish I could have some shots like this with my mom ;)

Tara, these photos are amazing! I KNOW THE MOM. I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH HER IN ARIZONA! I get a Christmas card from Ann (Mountjoy is her maiden name) every year and I need to call her.
If you speak to her again or communicate through email would you PLEASE give her my email and blog address? I would so appreciate it. Tell her Shaun (Adamson) Paddock said HI Ya’ll.

Thanks Tara and great job as always. I wish you could make it out to South Carolina so you could take my family’s photo.
great photos (as usual!) These gals are gorgeous. What’s moms secret to looking so young? took me awhile to figure she was the mom and not a 4th sister (hope she reads this!)
amaaaaazing shots… can’t stop looking at them.
you need to come to australia
:-)
Wow, I am always amazed at what you catch on the camera. You truly have a gift. Wow did I already say that.
Oh my….GORGEOUS shots !!!!
Tara you are an AMAZING photographer but I hafta say, it’s not like it would be hard to make these women look gorgeous. They already are!
Awesome portraits. I wish I had something like them!
Simply beautiful, Tara! You have such a way of bringing out the personalities of your subjects (hah – sounds like you’re Queen…subjects…ha.) The photos from this shoot are some of your best yet. Continue to amaze us! Please!
my favorite session of yours in forever. love those girls… so happy and beautiful! hats off to their mama and her rockin’ genes!
Beautiful women! And I love the look of cowgirl boots and a skirt!!!!!
What a beautiful family and amazing photos.
WOW they are really gorgeous….You did this sooo beautiful!

These are incredible! You are so talented.
so beautiful! The boots shot is very cool. :)
Those are some BEAUTIFUL ranchers!!
tara! this is one of my favorite shoots of yours! it is so great!…of course i love the families too but you’re right there’s something about a bunch of related girls together (or even unrelated, actually) when they love each other you can see it…the cowboy boot shot is awesome & that surfer? too cute! didn’t you just want to follow him & gets some shots?…i always love your sharing…thanks!
