Hi! I’m Tara.

I've been photographing families in Northeast Ohio since 2009.

I’m a mom of two teenagers. I love them fiercely and find their differences and similarities endlessly fascinating. I’ve always wanted the images I take of my family to show my kids how much they’re loved. It's truly my joy to be able to create images for other families for this same reason. 

I adore working with people who laugh so hard they cry, who love to hug and snuggle, and who giggle with me when their two year old takes an unexpected face-plant into the mud puddle. 

I delight in documenting your happiness and affection.


I love

vibrant color. fantasy books. live music. not wearing socks. quiet. dimples. zinnias. the smell of a dewy morning in the woods. 90s grunge. funny cat videos. npr. fresh flowers in my kitchen.  

I believe

black lives matter. love is love. women and minorities deserve equal rights and trans rights are human rights. the world is a little better when we’re kind.
