Hey, friend!

A little about me

I'm a coffee-loving, chocolate-obsessed mama of one. As you can probably guess, I have always loved kids, but you may not know that my photography journey began long before my little one was even a thought. You can still find me sitting at the kids' table at family events, and their scrunchy-nose smiles and adorable little high-pitched voices are my kryptonite. With over 15 years of experience, I am obsessed with documenting my clients' families and creating images they will cherish forever.

I am 1 in 4

Little did I know the trouble we would have once we decided to start a family. Talking openly about it has led me to realize how common these issues are, and it is both heartbreaking and comforting to know you aren't alone. I have experienced multiple early losses, IVF, a c-section, and an ectopic pregnancy. Our fertility struggles have made me see the value in documenting the fleeting memories, family snuggles, and all those perfectly imperfect moments. Whether your story is similar or not, I know you don't want to forget a single detail about your little ones. It's so true what they say - the days may be long but the years are short.

Tara is incredibly talented. She has done maternity and newborn photos for us and I could not be happier with them. She was so gentle and calming with our son and she was able to capture the most amazing photos of him. We will be using her for any future photo sessions and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

FAMILY NEWBORN SESSION

To say I am not comfortable in front of a camera is an understatement. I usually delete about 99.9% of all pictures taken of me. Not only did Tara make my family and I feel comfortable during our session, but I loved pretty much every picture she took, and displayed them in our house! She captured our family perfectly down to my daughter's crazy personality. The pictures were just stunning and I can't thank her enough. I will absolutely be asking her to take pictures for us again.

We did our Maternity and Newborn photoshoots with Tara and I'm so glad we did! The photos are INCREDIBLE! We couldn't narrow down our favourites so we ended up purchasing all of them. She made us feel super comfortable which is reflected in the photos. She was so good with my newborn son, I actually learned soothing techniques from her! We also purchased an album and custom frame and are so happy with the quality, I cried when I saw it.

I have been looking for a Photographer to shoot long overdue family photos for a while now. I am so delighted to have found Tara! Professional, quick to respond and incredibly talented. Her stunning backdrops, lighting and the special moments she captures are nothing short of dreamy. When I first saw the Lavender Field photos of my little one, I cried. Truly magical! Tara really knows how to make children feel relaxed and confident. Thank you again, Tara!

We hired Tara to do our newborn photography for our first born and I couldn't be happier! From the first time I visited her website I fell in love with her style and couldn't wait to have photos of my own. Tara was professional and did everything possible to provide a safe environment in which we could gather. Thank you so much Tara for capturing this moment in time for us! You'll definitely be seeing us again!
