Testimonials
TARA IS AMAZING!! I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day. She was professional, but also made us feel so comfortable and she’s the nicest person you’ll ever meet! She captured EVERYTHING we wanted and knew exactly what to do to get the best photos. I HIGHLY recommend using Tara!!!

If you feel overwhelmed, just remember - perfection is an illusion but your love is real.
Knowing that your photographer has the experience and skill to create the most beautiful photos yourself & your loved ones that you've ever seen, regardless of the circumstances - that's what we want for you, and that's what we give.
You just relax and enjoy the process.
"Tara is a magician!!! Somehow she made my "bad side" look like my "best side" in our wedding day. No joke. She is so sweet and easy to work with. Almost a year later, I still go back and look at our wedding photos with awe. She perfectly captured the essence of our day in its true dream-like fashion."

The best is yet to come.
There's nothing like it in all the world. Becoming a parent...bringing a brand new life into this world. Someone who couldn't exist without the two of you. There is a certain magical quality to pregnancy - loving without knowing, waiting for the great mystery that is your new little human to appear. It's often said that once the baby is born, you will forget all about the pain of labor. But you don't want to forget the quiet expectation, the beautiful changes, the process of becoming. I'd love to document this fleeting, incredible time in your life. Session design and accessories to my Client Closet is a complimentary part of the Maternity Session experience.
Your journey has brought you here.
I'm a big believer in the fact that families come in all shapes and sizes. Big kids, little kids, one kid, no kids...mom & dad, dad & dad, mom & mom...grandparents, best friends, ex-boyfriends (ok perhaps I went too far)...your family is who you love. You're busy. Super busy. But wherever you are in life right now....it's only for right now, and you're never getting it back. You're not too heavy, too awkward, too busy to document this part of your life with gorgeous portraits you will cherish forever. The way your 3 year old connects with you right now can never be duplicated again. It will still be amazing and heart-melting at 5, but it won't be the same. When's the last time you had family photos done? When your 15 year old was 6? in 3 years, they will be off to college. What is the last high quality, wall worthy photo you have of your grandparents? When did you last see them smooch on the lips? Let's get that on camera. When is the last time you were actually in a photo instead of taking them? Yeah, it's time. Let's make your vision come to life together as we capture the connection between you and your loved ones.
Let's make time stop for just a little bit.
You blinked and your baby was grown. Where did the time GO? As a mom three, one of the hardest things I ever heard was this: 80% of the time you spend with your child during your lifetimes will be spent with them before they turn 18. I'm not crying, you're crying...ok, I'm crying. Let's dry those tears and start planning your Senior's portrait session. We'll have time for 2-3 outfit changes. We can shoot on the beach, at a park, in a field, downtown, in front of murals, you name it. We can include items that are meaningful to them, like a favorite book, pointe shoes, their pup, their wrestling medals. And you - we can also include you. I encourage mom or dad to come camera ready and jump in for a few. I can hear you protesting now, but I promise you will not regret it. Your Senior's images can be used in their yearbook (dependent upon school guidelines), for graduation announcements, party invitations, wall art, headshots for college and scholarship programs, and more. Many clients love to have an album for the graduation party, with one page left blank for guests to sign. But most importantly. you'll have the memory of this experience and the resulting images long after your baby has left the nest.
