I didn’t know it was legal to have that much joy on one computer screen. Beauty doesn’t even begin to describe your family… and the photos are pretty good too. :)

You stinker! Early today I was in a Monday morning blue drizzly Seattle funk (you would have loved today) and you posted your pity party. And I certainly didn’t feel like blogging…had to go to work…blah blah blah…so Eric took off for the Mariner game alone…and Christian brought home a most delicious smelling hamburger…Taylor wanted chicken strips…and I was having my own pity party Lean Cuisine. McKenna’s bubbles coming out of her nose SO made me laugh out loud. Thank you. And thank Jay.
These are amazing! My mouth is totally hanging open! You have such a cute family and those underwater pictures are AWESOME. Oh yeah—hello, hot hair goddess mamma! Yowza! :-)
This was worth the wait on an update! Beautiful shots…your entire family = gorgeous.
I am DYING over that under water picture of Anna. she looks so etheral
What fun shots! I love Jay’s work and your fun family + Jay Reilly = awesomeness!
Miss Tara you ARE the hottness… Looking divine.. and gorgeous… Jay Reilly rocks.. so pleased you had a session you love! (now you know how those families you snap feel!)
oh Tara these are fabulous! I absolutely adore the one of Jeff & Anna and then you with your brood! The warmth in these is just beautiful :o) Now to find a fabulous photographer near me *sigh*!!
Totally in love with your family!
These rock. I’m partial to the shot pf Anna. Maybe it’s the hat :)
okay, Tara…you are looking seriously sexy girl!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Jay Reilly! You are so lucky to have him capture your family through his lens!
LOVE the photo of you with the kiddos! You look fabulous! And the kiddos are just awesome in the pics…you can read into their personalities!
Great pics! Now go treasure them and adorn the house!

T, Pure happiness. These are just amazing. Love the shot of Jeff with Anna so much. And the way he captured all that love wrapped around you…the best. So lucky are you!

Soooo cute! Love the super shallow DOF on those closeups!
These are fantastic! We just had our first family photos done 3 weeks ago- so fun to be on the other side! Yours are gorgeous. What a great-looking family you have!
Tara…these are so fabulous…and perfectly suit your carefree, life as it happens style. I can see why you are thrilled. Good for you for actually taking the time to line someone up and get this done, too! We sometimes get too bogged down by working for others and don’t take the time to get our own families photographed! BTW…I am looking for someone in the central coast area (Monterey peninsula) to photograph MY family in late December! Any suggestions??!!
in-credible. Amazing. Tear-rending. and I hafta say: I LOVE the one of Anna spitting through the gap in her teeth. I looked just like her when I was little, and I could do that too. Then my dentist wanted to remove the gap. Probably better, but I do miss being able to spit about 50 yards!
you are a lucky mama, but you already know that.
Hey there!! OK, so YOU LOOK AMAZING in that shot! You have lost weight and grown your hair out. You look young and fun (not that you aren’t normally, the pic just showcases that!!!). Love the kids shots too, Jay is amazing! I have admired him for a while…lucky fam!!
Much love
OMG you look like a frickin movie star.
yahoooo, tara!!!! love seeing you in front of the camera with your sweet fam!
Wow,Tara,these are so fab!
WOW Tara, those are priceless shots of you and your family ! I especially love the underwater ones. Thanks for the link to Jay’s summer photo contest too. I submitted an entry; first time I’ve ever entered a photo contest, but my all-time fave photo seems to fit this summer theme perfectly ! (My photo is # 86 on page 7 of Jay’s photo contest). Best wishes from a long-time blog reader and big fan of your work with Simple Scrapbooks. Greetings from Vancouver BC !

Do you and Jay have movie stars calling you everyday to photograph them on purpose?
