  12. Tara – That is one amazing video…one amazing set of pictures…and of course, one AMAZING family! What a treasure! Brought tears to my eyes! Love love love it! :) And of course, the song on the video is one of my absolutely favorites by my absolute favorite artist! Enjoy these memories! Hugs! :)

  20. i’m not sure if i should continue with my daily morning routine of checking your blog right after i get my cup of coffee. i’m barely awake, i almost always end up with a few tears. this video is absofreakingmazing, tara. what a gift. see? you’ve given so many gifts to families over the years, and it was your turn. that’s all it is. i think they call it karma. all the best to you, my friend. and these two guys you’ve become friends with, mike and jay — wow. talent beyond words.

  27. Wait I didn’t get to see it and now it is gone, when I hit play at either site it says “video no longer exists” I wanna see, I wanna see!!! I love your family almost as much as I loved my other family The Waltons” That was my real family cause mine was a mess! Hope the video gets to be shared again!!

  34. That was aaaaahhhmazing – brought tears to my eyes. Make me want to quit my job and go hang out with my kid – but I can’t … and he is in school all day … and we’re nowhere near a beach or a pool … or you … to take pictures of us. You are very inspiring to me. Thanks so much for sharing so much of you with us!

    Tara, I love, like so many others, seeing your family and the love you have together. It’s like a warm hug everytime I check your blog. I have two boys and would love more. Family is first for me and it gives me strength to get little snippits of how you have such a wonderful business and family life together. That too is my goal everyday. I am home with my boys and am finding a way to combine my need and desire to focus on them and have a thriving business.
    The video today really struck me because I started out in video shooting weddings and that song was on a cd one of my clients gave out as favors, so I used it in there video. I absolutely love the stills along side the video with the music. It makes me want to find a way to be able to do it all myself for my families. It is such a wonderful gift, isn’t it? – for someone to wrap up your family and emotions for them in a sweet little bundle to watch over and over again.
    Thank you for being yourself and doing things your own way. In photography and in life. The simple, easy, full, meaningful life is what I want us to experience everyday. My gut wrenches in the face of the money hungry, status seeking, perfectionistic Jones’ – and your blog helps me to stay on track and know what is real. thanks so much for sharing. :)
