it was a very blustery kind of day

And I didn’t mind at all. I love the way wind makes everyone just a little bit hyper, and makes hair look amazing.

I just love the colors in this session. I feel like the beach images are especially soft and creamy and I want to lick them up in an ice cream cone.

Momma packed some great outfits and brought them all the way from Montana, where they live.

Great little family.

  1. LOVE the individual of the boy for in front of the car! Hope they order the JUMBO version of that one! Great shoot once again. I love when you post these – I learn so much!

  2. what a fantastic session!!!!! and those dresses on the girls… seriously? they are as cute as they come! i’d love to know where they came from or brand name if the momma happens to see this! or tara, if you wouldn’t mind asking for me!

  3. Tara, thanks again for the great pics and the outfit compliment. To answer jen’s question – I searched high and low for the perfect dresses, being a photog myself I was determined to find some colorful dresses that popped. I finally found these at a vintage store in Montana, they are originals from the 50’s.

  4. When are you coming to Australia? Photos like this of my family would make me very, VERY happy. I just love your work. What lens were you using in this shoot (if you don’t mind sharing!)?

  5. Tara,

    I have been following your work for a long time, but I had never commented it. Well, here is my first one.

    I feel that what surfaces from your work the most is honesty. I don’t think this can be learnt – it comes naturally to you. You have a great talent. Keep up the good work.

  6. Awesome session Jana… so jealous. It is my dream to have my family photographed by miss Tara. Hey… if you can travel from Montana to CA, then I think our trip from Minnesota should be do-able. Lovey, lovey, love it!

  7. That first shot–those girls, the hair, the dresses–could have been an original b&w from 1950, minus the trendy little Popeye shirt. Those two look just like my mother and her sister. I did an absolute double take.

  8. fantastic! i love these images. every time i see your sessions, i think of my first time to see a beach and i wonder what it will be like. i imagine it will be something different than it would be at 2 or 5 or 12 but it will be exciting none-the-less, i think.

  9. Sweet family!! I was guessing the dresses might be vintage from the ’50’s… They remind me of some my Mom kept of mine – from the 60’s & I was able to let my girls wear too! Lovely blustery weather pics!

  10. PLEASE can you find out where those fab retro dresses are from?? I’ve been scouring ebay and etsy for months, but these look new and love the colors. Pretty, pretty please =)

  11. The shots of the little girl holding up her skirt for the waves are beautiful. well, they all are, but those are speaking to me. ;)
    They’re from Montana: had the kids seen the ocean before this trip?
