Was so easy to work with and he had a ton of good pose ideas for me and my fiancé to best capture the special moment. It was a muddy walk to get to the proposal location and he was not phased at all by that and was happy to be there helping us. I highly recommend using Tara’s for any photography needs you have.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Taras, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! During our photo session, our 4-year-old had a complete meltdown—not exactly an ideal scenario for capturing great photos. However, Taras handled the situation with incredible patience, kindness, and professionalism. He took the time to make our child feel comfortable and turned what could have been a stressful experience into something truly special. The results? Stunning photos that exceeded all of our expectations! Taras has a remarkable ability to find the perfect moments, even in chaos. You would never know from the photos that there had been any challenges that day. If you’re looking for someone who not only has exceptional photography skills but also the warmth and understanding to work with children (even on their toughest days), Taras is the one to call. We are so grateful for his talent and can’t wait to work with him again!

Taras went above and beyond in helping me propose to my fiancée. I wanted to surprise her at a waterfall without crowds, so we planned a sunrise hike. Taras agreed to do the hike as well and arrived at the waterfall before we did, posing as another hiker. Taras captured the proposal moments beautifully and led us through many backgrounds and poses afterwards. Taras was extremely friendly and returned the edited photos to us very quickly so that we could share them with friends and family!

My Fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Taras to capture our engagement photos. From all the reviews I read and the images they share on their thumbtack profile, I knew their work was amazing. But I don’t believe the reviews or images do them justice. The experience of working with them was a pleasure, it was organized, insightful, and come our session Taras was on time and came prepared with poses and ideas. I don’t take photos often if at all and I found this to be extremely helpful and a stress reliever. I would also like to mention that on the day of our photos Taras was mindful of the weather and constantly asked if we needed breaks for water or anything else. By the end of the session Taras made sure we knew what to expect in regard to wait time and what the process of selecting our photos would be like. If you are going to hire a photographer I highly recommend Taras and Alla. We had a great time working with Taras and our final photos turned out amazing (the photos speak for themselves).

This was my partner and I’s first real professional photography shoot (besides senior photos forever ago), so we both felt a little silly at first being in front of a camera. But Taras was so friendly, so professional, and really, really helped to make us feel comfortable and confident for our photos. He got us laughing and eased us right into it. They turned out better than I could have imagined, and it was very difficult to choose which ones to keep because they were all so great! Highly recommend.
