Let me reintroduce myself… because let’s be real it’s been awhile since I’ve posted or even myself in years to this wall. Shout out to for always providing true to self images. 😂

Anyways, as you can see from my stories for the past couple years I’ve pulled away from showing photo work and have been showing roof work and my indoor farm. So I figured this image showing me enjoying my favorite thing no matter how bad it is, Coffee. Idgaf if it’s cliche or what. It makes me happy and at this point in my life, that’s what matters.

So here’s to switching back to being more of a personal account, I only have a handful of weddings left for the year before I’m officially retired from shooting. If y’all have any new title names to switch from the professional second, drop them below ⬇️

It’s amazing the amount of work I’ve done over the years and the amount I’ve never shown to the world. I’ve always been the one to let my clients showcase it, but with only doing associate work now, it has me digging through my archives. we should do something fun again ❤️

It’s 2023 and I’m out here doing the one thing you aren’t suppose to do on instagram anymore… that’s posting one solo photo. Why? Well if you know me, you know I do what I want and never fall into the trends.

Jenna + Ryan’s wedding was my last for 2022 and it rang in my 65th wedding for the year.. yes 65 and that’s working for my brothers roofing business Monday-Friday. Half were my own bookings, half were with extremely talented people who I’m lucky to work alongside. I’ll list them at the end.

I love this image and it deserves its own post not because it’s beautiful, but it really showcases how much this location means to them. This is Ryan’s grandfathers working farm they fell in love at when they were kids. They use to come to the hay fields and watch the sun sets. I love my tight lenses like every photographer, but something like this deserved to showcase more than just the couple, but the whole story. This image really put into prospective how much I’ll always love and will continue to do environmental portraits.

Special thanks and shoutout to the talented peeps I got work with in 2022, with most I’m working with again this year. ❤️











Thanks for reading my once a year Tara talk ❤️🤣

I know you guys remember this from my story feed....the moss table 😻
Congrats and heres to for always supporting me from the very beginning. It was such an honor to be there on your special day with Jenny and family. I met Josh when I first moved to the east coast from fort myers and he was one of the first over here to hire me to shoot his amazing events. Literally this man is a genius and one kick ass Dj as well. Never the less, having me there on his most important day was everything and it was beyond anything I could have imagined. Heres just a tiny taste from the day.

Truly Timeless
I’ve been wanting to show this beauty for a bit now. I know I’m not known for being a “baby whisperer”, but maybe I’m a “puppy whisperer” instead. 🤔😂 either way I love it when couples incorporate their pets on their wedding day. As I’ve said before, I love the classics and this portrait will remain timeless through all the trends. ❤️

You’re probably going to see this and be like, holy crap she’s finally posted, or omg it’s finally not another portrait. Here’s the thing, you aren’t wrong about either 😂
I’ve had no idea what to show cause I have done so much since October. I know a lot of people have been saying that, or saying they are busier then they are. Here’s the thing with all this talk I see on this topic in the photo industry, what is busy for one person may not be for you or vise versa. We all have different levels of what we can handle and assuming otherwise, well it really isn’t anyone’s business but that person. Real talk. It’s been a hell of a year for EVERYONE. Period. Some may voice their problems more then others, and cool if that makes you feel better. I personally when feeling a way and slammed on top of it, I put my head down and work and the rest of the world fades ie. social media. It makes me feel better to do that cause I grew up in a nonstop household, So it’s normal for me and I like it. My whole family, we hustle and are proud of it.
I know your wondering why this shot from everything I’ve done... well honestly it just gave me a feeling. It’s from my most recent wedding and it’s the most candid frame. This was that in-between moment from one group location spot to the next. From the light to the sheer mood it just makes you feel that moment no one ever really cares about. Cause it’s the frames before and after that are usually the focus point. I am and will always be a portrait photographer. I love portraits and it’s my whole foundation of who I am and my artsy. But I’m always learning, even after 15 years of having a camera to my face, I’m still trying to better myself, how I see things and grow. So with that said I’m going to do my best to show more of these as well of my pretty portraits 🤗 thank you for reading if you did and for still following along. ❤️❤️

Well is this isn’t the Mondayest Monday’s, but is really anyone keeping track right now?! Whelp, I thought today would be a great day to let the cat of the bag I’ve been holding in for a couple months. I got published! Huge thanks and shoutout to my amazing couple and her husband Sam for having me apart of this day ❤️. Also, for featuring this beautiful wedding. To view the magazine I would say pick up a copy but they have it right online as well for us following quarantine orders 😉
