Thirty minutes later in another part of town:
James hails from Scotland, and I might have asked him to talk a lot simply to hear him speak.
Rosie resides in Chicago, where she owns and runs her own clothing boutique, named Roslyn.
Rosie is good friends with a client turned friend, Michelle, who is one of the women I went to Thailand with. I also photographed her gorgeous pregnant belly, pre Thailand.
(Fun connection: Rosie is Thai and the blanket they are making out on is Thai. Bought it on my trip.)
I photographed Rosie, Michelle, and their friend Amy while they were on a Los Angeles girls weekend.
Rosie came back to me for her engagement session with her James.
We started in the sun and headed to the beach where it was locked in with cloud cover. And dark. Very dark. I was a little worried, but I think the end results were good. They got a mix of sunny and happy along with moody and sexy.
I hope I get to photograph their babies.

Love!
love this session. everytime i see an in-between I love them more and more.
LOVE the chalk board ones!! Gorgeous session!! :-)
that first bw is KILLER!
Stunningly beautiful!! As always!! Love love love them!! you rock!!
Just inspired. I love every shot – but the black and whites are particularly striking. Beautiful!
Love them all! They are so sexy and in love!
Every shot is gorgeous and sensual!! Love them all.
the one where his nose is squished from all the love, favorite!
What a lovely couple! Such an awesome blend of fun and romantic. (And I would have made him speak the entire time too, even if it was to the detriment of the photos.) ;)
That second to last shot is so unbelievably beautiful and sexy. I love it.
i love those ones with the chalkboard :) Did you just tell him to write what ever he wanted? And was it a surprise for her to read it?
WOW, just WOW…how amazing. I LOVE the one of them on the beach on the blanket.
Beautiful love I see here…and beautiful light too.
I would love to be loved that much:)
Beautiful. Both the couple and the pictures.
Rosie…If you are reading this, I told you the shot where James is holding your boob looked good, and see, the people agree!! ;) xo
Lovely, Tara. And if you could get a sound clip of his accent during the future baby pictures and add that onto your post, it would be much appreciated. ;)
Love love love. So sweet and beautiful shots. :)
i love these. (do i say that too much?) after looking at all these new images, my favorite part was clicking back through the old links. click click click. i’d seen them before and yet i looked as though i’d never beheld such beauty. the portraits contained in each of those links just blow me away. that’s some beautiful stuff wrapped up in the relationship tree! <3
p.s. rosie, the one in which James is holding your boob looks good. listen to michelle. ;) haha
love the dancing in the surf…& that sign! *sigh* :)
AWESOME tara!!!!
you captured their LOVE for each other.
I need that love in my life…thanks for the refresher.
I love them all, but I especially love the moody, sexy beach shots. Plus, I love the Thai connections.
You inspire me so much. LOVE
Those two are going to have the best looking babies….
WOW!!! Absolutely stunning!
Scottish guys are hot.
Wow, an endless amount of beautiful photos. That sky and ocean on the last one, super! and yes, very sexy!
ahhhh, beautiful. That fourth image down- BW with the amazing light- LOVE LOVE LOVE it. So amazing. And I agree with you, guys go up by about 100% in the hotness scale when they come with a Scottish accent :)
My fav is the boob shot too. :-)
I LOVE THESE. And I love the title you chose for them. I don’t know Susie or James but I feel that this is them. That top close up blk/wht sun one… to die for. Love love. :) I want some like this now.
I don’t comment on every post because usually all I can articulate is “love!” and I know you know I love your work, but these ones cried out for a “love!”
these are awesome..
i love the black and white upclose shot! that’s my fave. nice nice nice.
daaaaaaang!!!!
these are hot. :)
These photos and the “bro + sis” have a different vibe. It’s like you are looking through your lens differently. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but it jumped out at me immediately. LOVE how you used the lovely flax gold color for your blurry shot – SO nice!
I LOVE that tree.
For whatever reason, I tend to gloss over the couple portraits… normally, they’re not my fave. But this? Wow. It honestly speaks to me. I can actually feel the love they have for each other.
I absolutely LOVE these photos. Definitely some of my favorites from you!!!!!
these images are so beautiful tara. great, great, job!
Ya know, I would probably hang some of your client’s pictures in my home because you take such beautiful pictures . . . even though they are Total Strangers!!!
That’s how much I LOVE your work, TARA WHITNEY!!! <3 <3 <3
Great photos…plus that guy is HOT! ;-)
These are beautiful. Nothing more needs to be said.
love them all but the chalk board ones … are GORGEOUS!!!
these are beautiful, tara… so much emotion, you show their love and connection like crazy! xo, liz
love how this session turned out – gorgeous couple!
These are wonderful. i love especially the ones with the chalkboard! Such a cool idea!
