When my son was born, I remember someone saying to me “the moment a child is born, the mother is also born…” Wait..what?! So my previous 27 years of life meant nothing? And now, my life is just going to be poopy diapers, so much crying, not enough sleeping, and having a little human COMPLETELY dependent on me? Gosh…I was a mess as a new mom, and certainly didn’t feel like I was fresh and just born!

Here’s what I think now. Becoming a new parent isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. It is long nights, exhausting days, and often times, a total blur. This is where I step in. I want to be there to capture the best moments of your fresh little nugget in those first couple of weeks, so that when you look back, that “blur” turns into complete joy. That little one is going to be your entire world, and having these memories to hold for the rest of your life is going to mean the world to you. You aren’t “born” when your child is, but becoming a parent is going to be the most rewarding and crazy amazing role you ever take on.

 
 
Tara was amazing to work with. She kept my kids engaged and helped my husband crawl out of his shell! I do photography as a hobby and believe Tara is one of the top in the valley. The love and raw talent she puts into her work is the reason I won’t go elsewhere.

I’ve always wanted to do family photos, but dreaded having my picture taken;) once I saw the absolutely beautiful pictures this talented photographer has taken, I knew I had to have her take ours. It was a really fun experience and I’m shocked how well she got all 3 of our kids to cooperate! I’m absolutely speechless on how they turned out!

How can I put into a paragraph how much I love Tara and her work? This is the 2nd time since I’ve known Tara she’s done photos for me! I can’t say enough about her work and her ability to make even the most uncooperative child (like mine) shine in front of the camera. She doesn’t just take a picture she captures a moment in our lives...a memory.
