PORTRAIT & EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHER

hey there!

I'M TARA

Hello there!  Welcome to my corner of the web!  I'm the face behind the camera, delighted that you're taking a peek at my work. Here's a bit about me: I'm a proud mom to four energetic kids and married to one hardworking man. 

Music and concerts are my jam, and you can often find me sipping on a glass of wine or a cup of tea with my headphones on.  I love Pilates and fart jokes!

​

Photography has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember. I cherish snapping shots of my own family's adventures, as well as admiring the work of other talented photographers.

​

My journey with photography began in 1987 when I received my first film camera, a hot pink Le Clic. Back then, developing film was a luxury I had to save up for. When digital photography became popular, I eagerly embraced the new technology, starting with capturing our family vacations and then focusing on my own children as they grew.

As my skills evolved, I discovered a joy in photographing my friends' families, which ultimately led to the creation of my photography business. Completely self-taught, I seize every opportunity to learn, attending workshops and engaging in e-learning to hone my craft.

Being a parent has made me acutely aware of how swiftly time passes, especially with rapidly growing children. From the delicate ears of a newborn to the scraped knees of a six-year-old, and the wild dance of flyaway hairs on a child's head, every moment is precious and fleeting.

Life truly moves at the speed of light, which is why I'm passionate about capturing those fleeting moments - big and small - for you to hold onto forever. Whether it's an engagement, a milestone birthday, or a senior session, I aim to freeze those precious moments in time for you to cherish for years to come!  My goal is to create true, beautifully simple portrait photography that triggers a flutter in your heart!

The arts having always given me SO much joy in life and I would love to share that with you!

I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE

Photography is the silent poetry of sight. It captures not only the image but also the essence of a fleeting moment, speaking volumes about life's beauty and transience without uttering a word.
