stacy & ruth ann are completely in love

Their love was palpable and right out there for the taking. I was honored to be trusted with it. I am so happy for them.

We went strawberry picking, because they are passionate about good food and healthy living. I thought it would be a good match for them. (And it was.) The light was so beautiful we had to go to the beach, too.

  1. Tara, you have seriously outdone yourself with this session. There is so much beauty within these women and their love for each other, I am touched to the core by the magic you captured that night.

  2. I am holding back tears while looking at these photos. I wish my girlfriend and I could have such a happy relationship like this. They are so lucky to have each other. You captured so many good moments. Gorgeous work. Thank you.

  3. These portraits brought tears to my eyes. As a photographer who haunts other photographers blogs it is rare that I ever see MY life portrayed publicly by professional photographers – thank you Tara – I love your work for a million reasons already but now – I love you.

  4. beautiful. i try not to read comments before i comment, but i noticed someone said they’d like to live in your eyes for a day (or something similar). i couldn’t agree more. you have such a wonderful gift, tara. your photos are always stunning and you can always FEEL the love while looking at the photos. well done!

  5. Wow….Tara you captured what every couple wants. To be able to see the mirror image of their love and commitment shining back at them.And what warms my heart to the core is beyond the images.To read the comments that actually see JUST THAT…..I love each and everyone of you for that. I am so grateful the times they are a changing….and Tara I am so proud of you to help pave the way.

  6. I don’t often comment, but I felt like I sorta kinda had too for this post. I was raised in a family where homosexuality wasn’t considered ok- and I followed that thought pattern because it was what I was taught. Once in college I was put on a staff with a guy who quickly became my favorite person and he was gay. It was then that I started to realize that someone like this could not be wrong. That whatever he was doing was not only no one else’s business, but that it was right for him. I have come a long way from my old way of thinking. Seeing these pictures tonight brought tears to my eyes. There is something so vital, so wonderful, and so incredibly RIGHT about these pictures and the love it captures. You are an incredible photographer and you did an amazing job capturing this incredible love between two people.

  7. See… you can see it right here, in picture after picture: A sweet, perfect love. So I don’t understand how my church (LDS) can say this is wrong.

  8. Tara you have such an eye that it makes me want to pick up my camera straight away and maybe one day, hopefully and with lots of practice, be that good. At the same time I feel like packing it away for good knowing I’ll NEVER be that good. Inspirational wins.
