Oh, this is why I love photography and film—just beautiful. The footage reminds me of a great quote:
Joy is not in things; it is in us. – Richard Wagner
I love it!!
Um, I don’t really cry at other people’s home movies, but this was Breath Taking. Do those guys travel.
so sweet – and that doesn’t even begin to describe the magic. wonderfull stuff, T – i am as touched as you!
Oh Lordy Bob, that is just the most fabulous, coolest and divine thing! I want them to fly over here to Australia and do one for me. You’re a lucky lucky girl Tara Whitney.
Ummm…omigod. You have brought me to tears today. You are beautiful. Your kids are beautiful. and this….this is absolutely beautiful. They have captured all that is your family and what a happy happy, blessed family I see. Truly a gift like no other to cherish. Thank you so much for sharing. I want one of my own!! Sending love, Krysta
Your one lucky gal, Tara!!!! You make my heart smile.
WOW! I love this..I want one for my family now..haha. You have a gorgeous family!
someday when you are an old lady you are going to be sitting on the couch crying and watching that. I seriously pity you when that moment comes…this is a lovely tear jerker!!
Now you know how I feel when I look at the photos you took of my baby girl Katelyn!!
Awesome video and pictures, amazing.
He needs to make a video of you taking pictures for someone…how fun would that be??!!
WOW…really, there are no words
that video was so beautiful, you’ll treasure it forever.
THAT was one of the most awesome things I’ve seen in so very long!!
Mike and Jay are FREAKIN AWESOME!!
So nice to see the kids in ‘live’ mode. LOL.
Just so cute. Do you ever just stare at them and think, WOW, those four little people belong to me. I think I would if I got lucky enough to have kids. You have a beautiful family Tara – you should do something like this again when they go to highschool, just to see the difference.
Beautiful. :)
ok t,
i have happy tears welled up in my eyes this very second. I am soooo happy for you and your beautiful family. What a gift, what talent. My little one is on my lap at she said half way through the video…”hey mum, that’s the picture taker girl.” You look so thrilled, so proud, so full of peace. take care. Teri
that was just the best thing ever…so so sweet…i’m just sitting here tears falling:)…plus that’s our song…my husband & i just decided earlier this year that the one we had our first dance to 10 years ago was not us but this jack johnson ditty? it is SO us:)…i loved every little bit of that video & i’m glad the parentals got in there at the end…it’s not better together without you guys:)
That is just awesome! Love it!!!!
Tara – seriously, your family is just wonderful to watch … so full of life, and fun, and truly a beautiful gift. That video is amazing. You should be so very proud of what you and Jeff had made! ;)
OMG! I LOVE that video! How fantastic. That will surely be a treasure for the rest of your days.
so so so special. What a treasure!
FREAK OUT!! I’m speechless. That freakin’ rocked!
Awwhhh.. Tara.. that’s awesome!! Truly amazing!!
i know im not supposed to love it because its your family but i just love it.
Its so raw, and clever and magic.
See, I love it so much that my adjectives sound so contrived.
Its just brilliant.
No, erm. Gosh.. I cant think.
try again.
Its cheeky, fun but so clean and proefssional yet catches the natural elements of your family a real treat.
Ok I am a dumb bunny! I was the only one that could not see the video, when I got to work I used the big computer and it said I needed flash 9, so I got it and then sat at my desk crying happy tears for you!! How wonderful, how precious is that gift? Oh, to watch it when your kids are grown with kids of their own, can’t you just hear the laughter now…and it will be from your grandchildren this time around!! Keep up with transfering it to all the latest techno that comes out, it is indeed a priceless gift you were given!!!
Thank you for sharing! What a treasure! Your family is wonderful and indeed you are blessed! Kids grow up so fast and how wonderful this is! Thank you again for sharing, it just makes me smile :)
all i can say is the tears were flowing as i watched this!!!
What a wonderful family video. You and your family are amzingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your family pride.
Words do not exist to describe how beautiful and breathtaking and unbelievably amazing this is. WOW Tara…WOW!!
I have tears on my cheeks… and I don’t know your family, but I feel like I do. Lovely.
Hands down best slideshow/video ever.. I cant say more than the 177 commenters before me… but wow. I cried those big fat watching a movie and choking up tears you get .. when Jeff helped Anna up the sand.. ohhh all little girls should know that kind of love (and hello he just pulled her up the sand. ha.. this is not tearful! but it is).
Watch this on days when they are all fighting in the car… and if that doesnt help.. it would absolutely have to up the price when we try and sell them on ebay.. ha ;)
oh my lord,
I love this. so much.
THIS is the family that my fiance and I want to have when we start having babies.
You are truly beauty-filled.
love love love love love

INCReDIBLE!! I love Jack Johnson too…what a great song for the video!! :)
Holy Cow…..was that freakin’ AMAZING or what! WOW. WOW. WOW.
I just really can’t believe how wonderful that was. If I had that movie of my family I’d not care if I had another home movie for the next 10 year period. That is just awesome. I am excited for you. Can you tell. And just a little bit jealous too! So amazing. Your family is so, so beautiful. And so beautifully captured!
that’s just wicked! you are very lucky.
Oh my Lord that is just beautiful!! It touched my heart, so I can’t imagine how it made you feel. Yes, what a gift.
All I can say is WOW! What an amazing gift…I LOVE this so much T.
Those shots of your kids standing together to get their pictures taken by the pool, all hugging in, holy man they just melted my heart! Adorable.
oh man, this is insane! i am so glad you guys are diggin it!
This is awesome! I’m so jealous… this is your own little Hallmark commercial, but better! This will always, always make you smile! It sure made me smile! Loved it. :)
Lucky woman!! :) :P
That’s one of the most beautiful family portraits I’ve ever seen.
OMG, Tara. Freakin’ amazing.
Damn!

Wow wow wow! I smiled and cried the whole time and I don’t even know you guys. This is beautiful and such a treasure! Priceless!
Wow. Yes – the most amazing gift. I can not imagine how thrilled you must be to always always have this. Jay and Mike are incredible but so is your family. You can just see all the love radiating from all of you. What a wonderful way to start my morning.
Hugs,
Reb
