Lovely, just lovely.
This photo of the family in the hedge? Just GREAT! What a lovely photo session. Thanks for sharing, as always.
Good heavens! If I had little kiddos I would be banging down your “virtual door” for portraits. this is perfection.
What a PERFECT at-home family session.
Also, my love for this family? Shot up to an “11” as soon as I saw mama reading that Ramona book to her daughter. Fond childhood memories of that series….
Oh my goodness gracious there is just something amazing about every detail of these photos. Love that, even after all these years, you capture every moment of a family in downright magical ways.
I have been following your blog for over a year now, and I choose to comment now on this shoot. Absolutely amazing. Touching, inspiring, awesome. Someday, I want to see how my family looks through your lens. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I love these!
…truly good schtuff Tara!
LOVE LOVE LOVE….Fully of joy and happiness. Inspiring. Thank you
You “see” what others feel inside. Your a normal person with an extraordinary gift. You should be proud of this. I’m proud FOR you.
I am overwhelmed at these comments – thank you – I appreciate them so much.
My favorite session of yours thus far. love love love this. sooo beautiful – all the little details.
How right you are! That first black and white of the kids together? BE STILL MY HEART. How precious is that sibling image? Also: that picture of dad all by himself, a little peak of a smile from the kidlet? LOVE.
Tara, I just love your work! I always leave your site feeling inspired and encouraged. I think it’s because you don’t try to capture or show perfection…you capture and show LOVE. That’s who I want to be as an artist, too.
That is the most perfect family session I have seen in such a long time. LOVE every image.
This whole session is soo gorgeous and heartfelt!
love these. love them. I am speechless.
love!
this is how life should be :)
Tara, your insight and ability to capture TRUE authentic beauty knows no bounds. And JenC – these pictures of your family seriously warm my heart & soul – I love that your daughter exhibits joy with a wide open-mouthed smile … just like you do. :-) And I love that what you’re wearing matters not a whit (no shopping necessary; just open your closet!!)
love this to pieces…love the house…love the captures…love the love…
I love it! The birth mark on son’s neck and on mom’s foot…beauty is in the details!
OH my goodness! I can just hear J laughing! Such a wonderful collection of amazing memories for this sweet family.
I’ve waiting patiently for nearly 3 years for our session, Tara, and I cannot express to you how wonderful I think it is. THANK YOU!!! The last image in one of my absolute favorites. XOXOXO!!!
you’re on fire taaaaarrrraaaa!!!! these images are unreal!!!! LOVE them
i especially love the one where they’re reading ramona and her leg is draped over her mom’s leg. such an everyday, yet ever-so-special gesture. i also love how you put them together on your blog for us–you are a storyteller.
yes, the beach shots are pretty, but these, THESE capture real life and i can only dream that someday I can have pictures like this of my own family. thank you for inspiring all of us to treasure the real, the here, the right now.
As always, absolutely gorgeous!
I have never commented on your blog, even though I have been following it for years now. But these pictures are just too wonderful to not be commented on. My favorite session of yours – so beautiful!
