KAREN ROMERO - August 7, 2010 - 3:57 am

Thanks Tara for an awe inspiring 2 and a half days…still trying to process all that I learned and put it to use. The time spent with you and all of the amazing girls and models will never be forgotten! Thanks for letting me “grill” you with my constant barrage of questions…and lastly, thanks for caring if we succeed! Love ya girl!

Danielle Stutes - August 1, 2010 - 9:11 pm

{ The Price Family } Sequim WA Family Photographer

A little sneak peek for the Price family!  We had a lovely evening on the beach in Sequim last night.  I just love our summer weather and lighting.  I also LOVED the way Amanda coordinated everybodys outfits…..so summery and fun. 
Cody just cracked me up…he reminds me so much of Wyatt with his constant energy.  He...

{Chloe} Sequim WA Newborn Photographer

I finally got to meet Miss Chloe today!  She is just too cute for words, and I am in love with her beautiful long hair.  I don’t think I have ever seen a newborn with such thick and long hair.  It goes all the way down to her back!
Of course we had to take some...

{ An Evening On The Farm } Sequim WA Family Photographer

I have been so excited for this shoot, for so long.  A couple of months ago when Chantelle contacted me about photos, she mentioned where their property was, and I  practically started jumping up and down when I read her email, because it is one of my absolute favorite spots in all of Sequim.  I...

Wow – I, too, am not one to post comments but found that I had to on these photos!!! Amazing doesn’t even describe these photos. All of them are beautiful, but my heart melts with the last one of the boys loading the hay – absolutely stunning!!

Janet Stipe - June 19, 2010 - 10:33 pm

Tara, these pictures of my Son and his family are the best. My Husband, with the (sometimes) help of Tommy, farms this property. I was glad Chantelle & Bob had chose “The Farm” for their family portraits. The green grass,green hayfields & the cows made this ever so personal for our family. Thank you so very much for the GREAT job.
Proud Mom & Granny,
Janet Stipe

P.S.Bob did play sports & graduated Sequim High.

Alison - June 15, 2010 - 1:01 pm

I am lucky to be related to this beautiful family and you couldn’t have done a better job of capturing every side of their personalities. I was asked to pick my favorite one, but that is a hard choice. I love love them all.

Sherie Dills - June 6, 2010 - 9:40 pm

I love the golden glow of the light. I drive past this barn and field frequently and have often admired the pastoral sense of it. You did a lovely job, wiht your lovely talent….and the couch?….priceless, especailly with the cows as background!!

Precious, precious, precious shots of the family and mommy with her little ones! And I just love all the cows… Though, one of my fav’s is the boys loading up the hay. The lighting with the dust is amazing! Great job Tara !

What better way to celebrate Mothers Day than to start out with a fantastic family session?  I met up with the Jurgensens yesterday for a morning  session out at Dungeness.  It was sunny, and warm and just perfect outside.  One of those days where I could just lay in the sun all day and soak it...
