How Drew found this amazing property in the heart of suburban Orange County is beyond me. It was built in 1921 and used to be 40 acres of orange groves. There is so much personality and history within these walls, and now her family has filled it up with their own brand of personality and love. Shooting here was a special treat for me, being a person who LOVES OLD HOUSES. I love the way they smell, I love the way they creak. Also, I had met up with the Bittels once before and enjoyed their sweet connection with their little boy. I was happy to see them again, with the addition of a little girl with curly red hair.
I love all the details you capture! And totally died when I saw her picking her nose.
Gah. You are the shizz, my friend. Beautiful family. Beautiful home. Who knew old houses could have such light and warmth.
Finger in the nose(!!!) and the close up of K’s little red curl. Beautiful, Tara.
So much greatness here. True moments. So much warmth and beauty. And that little foot sticking out of. A Jenny Lind followed by a little boy’s nose pressed against an aquarium? No words. It’s just to damn great.
couldn’t love these more . . . so good, tara!!
This is just stunning, Tara. Gorgeous work.
I was looking at these wondering where in the heck in the OC they live! Such a treasure! The photos definitely capture their personalities and love (as usual!).
These pictures are so darling!
LOVE a good booger shot.
love these shots and the art in the kids rooms is amazing!!
