WHAT?!
I just found out that Babble.com named this blog in their Top 20 Baby Photo Blogs, and that I am one of their “favorite mom photographers around the web.”
This is what they had to say:
“You can feel Tara’s passion for photography right from the get-go: this Orange County, CA, photographer’s About page states her philosophy as “perfectly imperfect,” and that’s just how we like it. This blog features large, colorful photographs of daily family adventures and beautiful home décor. Her family photography goes beyond the traditional white shirts and jeans, though the beach-y aesthetic is one of our favorite things about this blog. She’s not one to aim for “flawless” pictures, but authenticity, lollipop-stained mouths and all. Tara also has a request for clients: “When we meet, show up with your heart. I can’t wait to meet it.” Us, too.
It’s pretty fun to be on a top 20 list. I was honored and excited to be on it. Babble, thank you so much!

Well OF COURSE you are!!! You’re the best girl!!!
you’re so fucking awesome. period.
Smooch. Because OF COURSE YOU’RE THERE. You’re awesome.
well deserved! They are right – my favorite!
It’s so nice to see you recognized! You deserve the honor! Sometimes I joke that I want to die and be reincarnated as you :) (In all seriousness – that’s creepy. I just think you rock.)
there’s no one like you!
you are the best, tara.
congrats…totally deserved!
one more ditto to what they all said- you well deserved it!!
What you do with babies is different than most of what I see; instead of showing the beauty of the baby, you show what it feels like to be a mama. So completely different and wonderful. Your picture of me holding Ellery up in the yummy yellow sun while she giggles (second session) catches me every time I pass it on the wall. It is not just my baby in that picture; it is my motherhood. I treasure that picture more than any other because I can remember all my babies and what it felt like to hold them, just by looking at it. So grateful for that. *Ack–tearing up now*
Well, hello? Of COURSE you are in the top 20!! I love what Visty said in her comment – making me tear up now :)
Top 20! (number one in my book!) Congrats!!! There is a reason I visit this blog at least twice a week to see what you post.
You deserve it…for sure! Congrats!
awesome.. Congrats.. that is so cool, and what they said could not be any truer
Tara, they just put into words what we already knew. You are awesome girl!
You deserve it !!! You are number 1 on my list !!! Congratulations !!!
very cool. they couldn’t have been more right!!!
Yay! Way to go. I love your photography and your sharing.inspires me to get better at my own photography
Congratulations, Tara! I’m not surprised and this definitely my very favorite stop around the web!
Not suprising at all! Congrats, I think they hit the nail on the head with what they had to say about your photography style! PS we got the prints in the mail yesterday and LOVE them. Thank you SO much!
Yes, you are amazing!
Great job, Tara! and that is a beautiful description about your work! they nailed it spot on (:
Fantastic Tara! completely well deserved!
woot! congratulations.
For me, it’s easy to like what you do because the photos you take (especially of families, and especially your own) are just so HONEST. They’re like the snapshots of real emotions and relationships that everyone wishes they captured of their family. And I love, LOVE that you take pictures of everyday moments. Portrait photography should represent real life, and I think your photography does that perhaps better than any other photography blog I follow. Yay, Tara!
you deserve to be in the top list….
Congrats!!!!!
WOW…Awesome Click..
Beautiful!
