Tara’s warm and friendly energy makes it easy to get comfortable and ease into a photo session. From a portrait shoot on the very public and bustling cobblestone streets of downtown Manhattan to the quiet and calm of a maternity session in a home - she’s mindful of the person, the setting and it shows in the beautiful photos. Being a mother herself, you can tell she takes great care to capture the tenderness of intimate moments - and she has an eye for the details too. I can’t wait to recommend her to the next friend to document and remember such an important time in one’s life.

I recently had a maternity photo session with Tara, and it was a fantastic experience. Her warm and welcoming energy made me feel completely comfortable, and the turnaround was impressively quick. Tara is the easiest and most pleasant photographer I’ve ever worked with. The photos are beautiful, capturing this special time perfectly. I highly recommend Tara and would definitely work with her again!

Tara has a great eye for photography. I enjoyed my maternity shoot at 37 weeks and I felt so comfortable with her. The pictures turned out beautiful. I would recommend her 10/10!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I am currently priced below market value as a new business working to build customer trust.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I have a brief 'get to know you' questionnaire that I send out once bookings are finalized so you can share what you're looking for from your shoot and your photos, as well as a little about you and your comfort level. From there, we can have a phone call, depending on client preference, to discuss anything further.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have spent 10 years working in the fashion industry, including gaining tips of the trade from leading industry photographers. Otherwise, I am largely self-taught, as are many photographers in the motherhood/maternity category.
