oh Tara.. how could you. JUST as I settle on my new signature black and white… i see these.. *sigh*… really!!
On a more serious note – I love love love love these.. because .. you captured motherhood..totally and completely… The sweet, the cute, the mischief we all have to deal with, that lil bit more love you find you have when they are clean and coated in bubbles ;) and the seconds of quiet a book can bring or the peace of laying in bed.
You are a magician… ala ka ZAM!
the second to last image makes me smile…well, they all make me smile, but that one is amazing. : )
The suds, I love the suds. Oh, and the Dutch door. It makes me want to go and saw my kitchen door in half!
how delicious! Love that you photographed them in their element, their home. These are so beautiful! Also, love the scribbles on the wall in the last photo!:)
These are so sweet. And you even managed to cut off some heads : )
bonnie, i do my best!
Just LOVE these photos, Tara.
you’re such an inspiration! wow!
these are beautiful. they are so fresh. i love the vibrant colors!
these are brilliant..rock on with your bad self
OMG!!! How much FUN! These are moments they will never forget, how great that you captured them!
i LOVE the BW in the bucket.
These bucket pictures kill me. Seriously- the one of mom and that great yellow dress and bubbles and goodness and joy and all? I love that.
So beautiful. Magical morning is the perfect description and these are just so full of joy of what it is to be a momma.
This session makes me happy. And, that little girl has the best name in the whole world ;) My fave is the black and white one where she is coming out of the tub. fab.
You never cease to amaze me, Tara. You are such an inspiration. I would die to have a session like this with my Brayden. Keep up the amazing work!
i LOVE the life in these photos… no poses, just life. love it.
A tub, a yellow dress, a kid, and a dog. Does it get any better than that? Yes it does…you have sun and I do not.
Crapola! thats all i have to say!….k maybe one more thing….im showing my husband this post so that he can understand my constant nagging pleas of why i want a session with you, pronto!
Beautiful!!
These are so awesome… im so jealous at how warm it looks in orange county…
sigh, these are incredible. One day you are coming to my house Tara Whitney, one day!
Oh my those chunky toddler thighs – too cute! Beautiful photos as always.
Hi Tara. I don’t know you, and might not ever be lucky enough to meet you, but I fell into your blog and have so enjoyed swimming around in it. Your photos and your words make me smile…down to my toes.
Love, LOVE these!!!!!
PRECIOUS and BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
I knew when you posted that one image of mom in the bucket that the rest of the shoot would be crazy good! the colors are gorgeous and every image is fantastical:)
Oh Tara! These just make my heart SING! I especially love the cuddle in bed and absolutely adore beyond words the writing on the wall. Jeni, you are a wonderful mom!
Tara – I love your style of photography. I visit your site often to be inspired. You not only inspire me through your talent for photography (I just recently bought a DSLR and I am trying to learn) but you inspire me by who you are. I feel how much you love your kids and your husband through the things you write. You inspire me to be a better Mom. You inspire me to look at things in a different light. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

When I grow up, I want to be a photographer just like YOU! (There’s still hope, I’m only 55!) Seriously, your art is amazing!
awesome, as usual. love, love the one in the doorway. wish i had one of those!!
Tara, these are unbelievable shots!!!! What a gift you have given this woman. Nothing would make me happier than to have something like this for my memory bank. Kelle
Man, I so wish I lived closer to you or you lived closer to me. These are awesome. You can bet if I am ever in California, you will have another client.
These are by far some of my favorites. I love Them!!!

beyond sweet…& that yellow dress? heaven!
Tara, these are beautiful. I agree with the comment above on your work being a gift, lady-lady. a GIFT to this momma and little girl and all of us who get to share . . . my, my. The suds, the dress, the scribbles . . . . !!
ab.so.lut.ly breathtaking.
No matter how many times I see pictures you have taken, you keep amazing me with your talent.
They are so beautiful, so full of live and energy.
Thanks for sharing them with all of us fans.
Take care

All I have to say is this: Tara, as usual, you are amazing.
i just love how you tell a story – love it
i love how you mix your media through photography – sorry for the scrapbooking term
You do classic black and white, classic color, grainy, sometimes you throw in a poolparty looking action, some blur and it all blends into your story. Freaking genius. Then you pick the perfect photos to tell the story which is no easy task – I am quickly learning that editing sucks.
I so love this session, Tara. As a mom, and a photographer. l.o.v.e.
i love every single one of these….love them so much.
these are beautiful!
classicly iconic and timeless!
i want a blue dutch door!
you.inspire.me.
oh. wow. that second to the last one, of the two of them in the tub…seriously? print. it. big. now.
gorgeous session. =]
some of my faves from you ever
(as if you could top the last post with the couple by the car)
i feel like i know this mom and her daughter now
just love love love it:)
you comp-letely deserve the oil cloth barrells, btw.
