i loved this family because they reminded me so much of my own. something in the dynamic made me feel at home with them. the kids were full of energy and really fun to be around. totally clicked with mom as one tall chick to another. this session is from way back in the summer. an oil spill on the freeway made me an hour late, so we jam boogied to beat the sun…
this is my favorite. major major favorite.
another major favorite.
okay Tara, I got weepy. I am waaaayyy too emotional. I don’t even know these people, but that image with the hair and the one with the feet and the reflection. wowzers. love them.
T, so fun! Love seeing the beach… reminder of summer pics. Especially on a stinky, dreary… rainy day like it is today in So. Cal. Great feet reflection… did you add the grain… or was it low light?
Love the sans teeth photo!
These are just perfect, Tara! So colorful and fun! I love that silhouette shot on the beach–I want one just like that of my fam! :)

I LOVE how candid your work is, but so professional. I love looking at your work, you are awesome!
Oh wow! Your pictures are so beautiful! They are so pure and fresh and in-the-moment. So inspiring! I’m homesick for Cali right now :)
Tara, are you adding grain to your photos? Looks so tangible! Also, I love the statement about beauty in the previous entry. We are all wonderfully made. Thanks for being you-for loving others-for loving yourself.
thank you christina-nope, not adding grain-these were shot in low light.
Oh Tara! You are so inspiring! Your images are so wonderful I just wish you lived a little closer to me as we are in desparate need of some photos of our family. If you are ever in Australia pleeeeease let me know :-)
