Award-winning Dallas, TX

wedding photographer

Inclusive, body-positive, and human-centric photography for all.

Inclusivity isn’t a marketing buzzword for me. It’s the foundation of how I live, create, and connect. Whether you’re loud and proud, quiet and soft, or somewhere in between, I’m here to show you how f*cking amazing you already are. No posing as someone you’re not. No performing. Just real moments, genuine connection, and imagery that reflects you truly.

Welcome to photographythat feels like you.

Ready to see yourself in a whole new way?

No stiff poses.

No awkward vibes.

Just you, having the time of your life.

Forget stiff poses and fake smiles - you won’t find any of that here. I’m all about capturing what’s real: the quiet hand squeezes, the wild laughter, the way your partner looks at you when you’re not even looking. This isn’t just about looking good in photos - it’s about feeling seen, being fully in the moment, and actually enjoying it. Whether we’re running through the streets of downtown, tucked away in a quiet spot out in nature, or dancing in the middle of Times Square like no one’s watching, I’ll be right there, documenting it all - so you can step back into the feeling every time you look back.

Oh, hello!

I'm Tara

My mission is to provide inclusive, body-positive, and human-centric photography for all. I want you to fall in love with yourself, your partner, and everything in between - over and over!

ProcessThe
Reach OutFill out the contact form and tell me what you’re planning—whether it's a big party, a private elopement, or something totally different.
Vibe CheckWe’ll hop on a call so we can get to know each other a bit. You’ll have a chance to share your plans, your vision, and what matters most to you. I’ll answer any questions you have, and based on everything we talk about, I’ll recommend the collection and coverage options that make the most sense for you.
Make it
Official
After our call, I’ll email you the proposal with all the collections listed, so you can choose what fits best. You’ll have the option to customize - things like adding videography, a second photographer, rehearsal dinner coverage, or extra sessions. Some of these come with an added cost, some don’t - it’s all about what works for your day. You’ll have 72 hours to make it official with the $1000 non-refundable booking fee. During that time, your date is on a soft hold, and I’ll let you know if anyone else inquires. After that window, the proposal expires and the date becomes available again.
GuidanceYou're not doing this alone. I'll introduce you to my badass friendors, help you with your photography timeline, session location ideas, and any photo-related logistics, whether you need suggestions or just a second opinion.
CelebrationShow up, enjoy yourselves, and trust that I’ve got the rest covered. I’ll be there for the loud, joyful moments, the quiet, unscripted ones, and the blink-and-you-miss-it candids that make the day yours.
DeliveryThis is where the memories settle in. Your gallery will arrive wrapped in light, color, and emotion - ready for you to revisit, cry over, and hold close to your heart for years to come. These aren't just photos. They're time capsules. They're proof you lived and loved deeply.

Encouraging someone to be entirely themselves is the loudest way to love them.

Let’s Get One Thing Straight…

This isn’t just a service - it’s a relationship.

I’m not just here to take pretty photos. I’m here to show up for you. To know your priorities. To hype you up, calm your nerves, pass you tissues, adjust your outfit, make sure you're hydrated, and catch the little moments no one else sees.

You’re trusting me with some of the most meaningful moments of your life - and I don’t take that lightly. (Even if I’m cracking jokes the whole time.)

Let’s make it an adventure

Whether it’s just the two of you on a mountaintop or sneaking kisses down a quiet city street, your session doesn’t need a script.

No crowd. No rules. Just space to breathe, be yourselves, and make memories that feel like you.

We can plan a full-day adventure or keep it chill—but either way, I’ll help you bring the vision to life, without the pressure.

One of the best and easiest decisions we made for our wedding was having Tara be our photographer. To say she was professional, jovial and immensely talented throughout every session would be a great understatement. She truly is this and SO MUCH more. During our engagement session Tara made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera. During the wedding, Tara must have been on ninja mode, because I don't recall seeing her move around us or the guests, but my goodness did she capture some amazing moments, big amd small, of that day. She is great at communicating and asks all the right questions to make sure she gives you the best experience. Everyone in our group absolutely fell in love with her. I cannot recommend her enough! Do yourself a favor and reach out to this amazingly talented human.
