I’m Tara, a lifestyle, wedding, & candid obsessed photographer

I pick up my camera to find the beauty in the simplest moments

I’m a mother, wife, a lover of travel & sports. Motherhood is the most important part of who I am, & it’s what shapes the way I see the world & the way I photograph it.

I’m drawn to real, true, candid moments. The laughter, the quiet glances, the emotions you don’t plan but never forget. Photography is so special to me because one day, when everything else fades, photos will be what we have left to remember how it all felt.
Capturing those moments isn’t just my job, it’s my passion

KIND WORDS
In home newborn
“We had such a wonderful experience working with Tara. She did an amazing job capturing our family, even with our kids being fussy. She was so patient and calm throughout the session and delivered so many great photos. She was also incredibly understanding and accommodating when we had to reschedule our newborn shoot multiple times due to our son’s extended hospital stay. We would absolutely use Tara again and highly recommend her.”

Family
“We are beyond grateful for Tara & the way she has documented such a special year of our lives. She photographed our son’s six-month milestone, his first birthday milestone and our family photos, and each session felt meaningful, easy, and full of love. She has the most incredible way of capturing the little in-between moments, the smiles, the curiosity, the personality that we never want to forget. These photos mean the world to us & we will treasure them forever. We couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else”

Courthouse wedding
“I used Photos by Tara to capture a courthouse elopement. I have never loved photos more. She was the BEST to work with. Everything photo she captured you could see our personalities & love in them. They weren’t the staged stale photos you see from some on wedding days. She also had Super competitive pricing. Cannot wait to capture more memories with her behind the camera.”
