Hi everyone!!
I'm Tara
I'm originally from Vermont and now based in Durham, I'm happiest when I'm spending time at the beach, working on a new creative project or ending the day with a glass of white wine and a new baked treat to try. Whether I'm knitting, felting, beading, baking or editing a gallery, I'm always drawn to thoughtful details and creating something meaningful by hand.
That same perspective shapes the way I approach photography. I'm drawn to genuine connection, quiet in-between moments, and the small details that make your story yours. My goal is to create heartfelt images that help you hold onto this season and return to these memories for years to come.

"We’ll definitely be using her for all of our future family photos"
"My husband and I have a 2-year-old, and Tara was able to capture photos of us just being ourselves — and they came out beautifully. The turnaround time was the fastest we’ve ever had. Our son also adored her, which is rare when he meets new people! We’ll definitely be using her for all of our future family photos."

"Tara was AMAZING!!! Her eye for detail blew me away."
"Tara was AMAZING!!! She was our wedding photographer on October 4th, 2025, and from the moment she showed up, she just knew exactly what to do. She didn’t need any direction - she was on it all day. She knew where to be, what to capture, and somehow made it all feel so calm and fun at the same time. Her eye for detail blew me away. She came to me with ideas I never would’ve thought of, and those ended up being some of my absolute favorite photos. She noticed all the little things - the light, the background, the random candid moments - and captured everything perfectly. Nothing felt posed or stiff, just real and happy. The photos turned out better than I ever could’ve imagined, and I’ve been recommending her to everyone I know!! She’s seriously so talented and such a kind, easygoing person to have around on your wedding day. We’re so, so thankful for her and will treasure these photos forever!!"
