light sabers

This little guy has parents that are so into him. And they know him, deeply. This threesome has an intense, fun, powerful to watch connection.

I’ve captured it once before.

I was thrilled when they hired me for a second time.

Shot: Sept. 09, Coronado Island. The light sabers were their idea. The second I saw the low tide I knew it would be a powerful image to use them together. Love those reflections.

  1. oh, tara! these speak to me on such a deep, personal level…as a mom to only one child – a boy – i GET these photos in a way i am unable to completely connect to others who have multiple kids {although those rock me to the core, too}. your words about this family are just how i feel about our little dude…we are just so into him! he is the center of us, of who we are as a family. i absolutely adore each and every one of these images and i can only imagine how the family must treasure them! i’ve gotta go stop crying now – my little guy is hundreds of miles away visiting grandparents and is sick and i’d give ANYTHING to hug him right now!!

  2. Lightsabers! My two boys love their lightsabers and are always playing with them. When I saw your photos of the family on the beach with a lightsaber in one hand and using the ‘force’ with the other hand, I laughed – I see that all the time around here.

  3. oh tara, these light saber shots are my favorites! ever since you posted the session with the triplets and the swords/shields, i’ve dreamed of doing a light saber session. your work is amazing! i’m afraid i have a big crush on you :-)

  4. Those light sabers are major fun! Beautiful images to cherish forever. Tara, I love it how you make it look so easy! Your subjects always are clearly having the time of their lives. You so have a way with people!

  5. Tara- 3&6 just got me and I was keeping track of my favorites to mention, but then I started to tear up and smile and man I just lost count, but it doesn’t matter because there really are too many amazing shots to list…you are amazing at what you do. I HAVE TO have you photograph me and my family some day.
