the family of miss audrey woulard.
audrey contacted me to see if i could shoot them while on vacation here in san diego – and let me tell you i still have her email saved in my “happy mail” folder.
its always an honor to me to be hired by a family. it sounds cheesy, but it really, really is. it means a lot to me that i am trusted to turn my camera on anyone! and allowed a piece of their life. its a different ballgame to be hired by another photographer. its being validated by my own peers. and its super fun to work with them because they always have great ideas.
i have been lucky to be able to shoot several other photographers i admire: barb, (now sporting a killer new website), carrie, kirsten, shannon, krista (in seattle, to be proofed), and todd.
check out their websites-maybe if they are in your area you can call them to turn their cameras on YOU!
so back to audrey. just a fun fun session. the above mentioned carrie met up with us, and brought her orange chair for me to use on the beach. thanks again carrie! i loved getting to meet audrey. she is so down to earth and cool. she is one of those people you immediately feel at ease with. like you can just plop down and have a drink and chat. and i LOVED HER BOYS. she had me all worried that they wouldnt warm up to me-but in the first two minutes i said the magic word “naruto!” and had them all eating out of my hand like baby tigers. haha!she actually has four, but one had no desire to be involved in a session and she didnt feel like forcing him.
her husband was happy to know she wasnt the only one who got excited about trashed couches in alleyways-he thought we were all crazy!
She photographs as beautifully as she takes them. What a beautiful family!
for some reason i was thinking she had 4 boys! she is so pretty and photogenic hUH?! how cool t!

isn’t Audrey just the greatest?? i felt the same way when i met her…so neat to see her and her family behind YOUR camera. :) very well done. I know she must love them. :)
OMG! I LOVE Audrey Woulard! I am not surprised she had you be her photographer! You did an awesome job and she sure has a cute family! It was nice to put a face with the name! I have been following her work and how cool is it that my two favorite photographers got together! Woo hoo! Shelley
Fantastic photo shoot in this entry.
I hope you post pictures from the Audrey W. photo shoot. She’s one of my favorite photographers with an awesome blog.
Interestingly enough, with all the beautiful photos on her blog, I’ve never actually seen a picture of Audrey.
oh they are all so beautiful!…the family & the pictures:)…love that orange chair…
Well, that’s what I get for commenting before reading the entire post.
Now I can finally put a face with Audrey Woulard’s fantastic work.
Beautiful job on these pictures of her family!
Ahhh!! A face to the name! Beautiful work–beautiful family! You…nervous….why…:)? Show us something,…anything that’s not fantastic and then I would believe you get nervous (even for the famous Audrey) :)

Tara, I’m checking out all of these photographers that you linked to and am just amazed by the beautiful art on their sites…. but I am just as amazed by yours. I’m not surprised one bit that ANYone would want you to shoot them. Thanks so much for sharing! :)
Now that’s what I’m talkin’ bout…love seeing a family of color and the Woulard family….YOU GO GIRL!
Oh wow girl. I’d have been shaking in my boots taking her pix! That’s precisely why I’m not you and you are….you rock.

So cool!!!!! What an honor to get this fun group in your sights. Audry is great and it looks like you all had a blast. I love the orange chair at the beach!
I attended AW’s workshop in March and she mentioned how she was getting her family pics taken by you. I was wondering if you were ever going to post them! Thanks for sharing. Audrey is so down to earth and nice, just like you mentioned.
SHUT UP! What an honor, but no surprise. Really, these are some of my favorites, along with your mexico pictures.
Oh I really really dig this T. Wonderful shoot, wonderful family. So great to see Audrey relaxing with her family. And you??? You rock the world girl, love what you did with the old couch, just great. And the orange chair on the beach, That must have been a heavy load in the sand :)

LOVE the orange chair shot! Very cool.
Tara these are so great, your pictures always convey so much joy. You can tell they where having alot of fun. I was in Chicago at Audrey’s WS when the collage you made for her arrived. It was a great moment for me. To find out that one of my favorite photographer Audrey got my other favorite photographer(that would be you) to photograph her family. VERY VERY COOL!!!
PS love the web site
These are fantastic.. I really gotta get me a hold of some old furniture to use as props… Love the look of that.. anyway… Nice to see Audrey and her family I love her work as well as yours.. great job

WOW that is super fab!! I read her blog too and totally love her work. It just occured to me that I have never seen a pic of her. I think I would have been super stressed but it looks like you came through just like always!! So jealous of your skills babe!
Holy Cow!
I have not been checking the blogs for a while… you have been busy Girlie!! What an honor to shoot this family (minus 1) looks like you NAILED the day. Good for you.
