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.

i just love these, my youngest is into light sabers….
i especially love the bw of the boy laughing wide open – how did you get that shot – can you share? as always, your pics are truly fabulous!!
Awesome shoot Tara! Well-captured family interaction. Loving the primary color wardrobe as well. The light sabers are a nice touch :)
i love this! <3
What a FUN family!!! It looks like everyone had a blast and they have great images to show for it ;)
So many great shots here!
Great family set! I have to say, if mom and dad were really dueling, the mom would totally win with that stance!
I can’t get enough of these photos. They make my heart happy!
the force was definitely with you. beautiful images. just beautiful.
I love this shoot. So candid.
Luuuuuuuv it! My son is infatuated with light sabers. This would totally be his ideal session. Might have to try it myself ;-)
You make me so happy. :)
What a great session! I know they’ll treasure these :)
these are wicked awesome!!
you are just so talented.
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!!
I love this session! The colors of their shirts with the colors of the sabers and the upside down photo! Love love love it.
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.
LOVE the light saber photos. My….literally took my breath away. I would die for photos like that of me and my boys. Thanks for sharing, Tara.
<3
absolutely fantastic session! as a mother of 3 boys, the lightsaber dueling brought a sentimental tear to my eye and a tug on my heart. love.
Awh I love the light sabers!! Beautiful family!! So much love!! Great shots!! You Rock Tara!!!
FUN FUN FUN! love em
Just incredible. We have one son, so this shoot brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
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 :-)
Such a fun spirit you can feel from the family and your photos.
Tara, do you know by any chance where mom got her awesome necklace? I love it and would like to have one like she is wearing. :)
these are such incredibly happy images! LOVE!!! and i wish more people would wear yellow for sessions, it photographs wonderfully!
I was thinking the same thing, LOVE the reflections! What fun you captured…that little guy is a doll!! (and love the mom’s yellow top!)
Super dooper awesome!! I like this one :)
Brilliant in every way!
yellow + red + blue = WOW

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!
Beautiful photos! As usual. :) And to the mom – cute shoes! LOL :)
Holy awesomeness….
Completely perfect in every way :)
Oh, so envy your location options and beautiful weather! What a fun family, you are right, those reflections are awesome! :-) (Wish I had ocean beaches to photograph clients at with my Canon 24-70, so jealous!)
Beautiful, extraordinary session. I love the connection captured, just beautiful.
Really cute family session
Tara,
You are a rockstar!! Amazing shots, and that little hambone is waaaaay photogenic! Way to hit another one outta the park, girl!!
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.
