Hello hello! I’m Tara, though some people call me T. My greatest passions in life consist of photography and connecting with new people. I was introverted most of my childhood, but I loved being creative and often found myself connecting with people through different projects and hobbies. At the age of 10 years old, I found my love for photography. I was fascinated by the fact that I could capture moments in time and keep them forever.
One of the reasons why photography is so meaningful is because photos, that are taken in only the span of hours, last a lifetime. You get to reminisce on these impactful moments for the rest of your life. Working as a wedding photographer is such a beautiful thing because I get to witness and capture two people experiencing one of the most exciting days of their lives.
In addition to being a photographer, I am a Christ follower, coffee lover, cat mom to a Tabby/Ragdoll mix named Macadamia Nut, and adventurer. I have only ever lived in Florida and currently reside in Clearwater. I love being surrounded by cities that reflect a love for the local community, appreciation for all kinds of art, and fuels my creative passions.
In addition to being a Lead Photographer, I love being able to create engaging content via our social media platforms! I want to produce social media content that is fun, helpful, and tells your love story! Being able to connect on social media and build relationships with soon-to-be brides and grooms, family members, and vendors is so important to me. It is my top priority and joy to make you feel at home and at ease while you find a wedding photographer that is perfect for you.
I admit that I am also a very sentimental person and you can probably catch me getting teary-eyed at most weddings. I know the importance and responsibility that taking your wedding photos holds. I want to take photos that make you laugh, cry happy tears, and relive your wedding over and over again. Your photos tell the story of your wedding day, and I would love to help you tell that story.
