Favorite family shot of the day! I am pretty sure I was dancing for them here. And yes, this is pretty much the response I get when I dance. (Laughing with me, not at me, right guys?)
This shot on the left…I was setting up, looked up, saw this spontaneous kiss, got excited, snapped with the camera near the ground, and hoped that I caught it.
We left the bakery and headed to a local park for some playtime. The light was streaming through the trees and its evenings like this that make me wish I could fly. How amazing would it be to play in the sunbeams?
Those tongues and expressions crack me up. All kids do this when they are concentrating! :) These three were trying very hard not to let go of each other while racing at the same time. LOOK at brother in the back, that smile just melts me.
I am sure this busy mother of triplets feels like this on a regular basis – like she is just hanging on for dear life! But look at that gorgeous smile on her face. She loves every second, can’t you tell?
“Come on, Mom. You lift your feet up like this…”
“And then we put our arms out like this!”
The Williams family owns and runs Beverly’s Best Bakery in Fullerton, CA. They are known for their exceptional wedding cakes, creative party cakes, and delicious desserts. When you walk into the shop your senses are assaulted in all of the good ways you can imagine. Do you know how hard it was for me to shoot with a cupcake in my hand? :)
Jennifer and Dirk took over the family business for her parents, and if you go in you will find them there, ready to help. You will also find many of these images now hanging in the shop! The boys are often running around as well.
What a sweet little life.
Thanks guys!

PS: You can find a couple of other images of the boys here.

Such fun shots. LOVE the bakery part of the session.
You never cease to amaze : )
good stuff miss whitney.
I ALWAYS want another baby, but these pictures make me want three year-old triplet boys. (My husband would be having difficulty breathing right now if he read this… so it will be my little secret.)
These are wonderful! THIS is the type of stuff I wish my clients would ask to do. My favorite shot from this post is the little dude peeking through the cupcake display!
so adorable!
Those three make my uterus ache! Wow again Tara. You are so talented.
Oh how fun to see her in this light! I freelance for a Web site about all things Fullerton and interviewed her. She does run a great bakery. I’d put up a link to the article if I weren’t so sleepy right now.
I absolutely love this photoshoot, every picture is amazing!
OMG Tara we’re Beverly’s devotees!! They’re the best birthday cakes, evah. I knew it was family owned, its super awesome to see the actual family! :D
