Documenting memories for happy austin couples

CENTRAL TEXAS PHOTOGRAPHER

work with me

Hi, I’m Tara!

I aim to capture the unique, fun, and heartfelt moments of your special day, ensuring your wedding photos reflect the true essence of your love story.

Ironically, I never envisioned myself as a wedding photographer; I thought it would be too stressful. After studying wedding photography for over a year and with a decade of experience in other fields, I finally photographed my first wedding and was hooked. Wedding photography is exhilarating because it encompasses such a broad range of styles. One minute I'm capturing a stunning landscape, the next a detailed macro shot of a ring, followed by a beautiful portrait.

My journey began as a photography major in college, but I quickly realized that running a successful photography business requires a strong business background. So, I switched my major to business while continuing to hone my photography skills. I hold an undergraduate degree from UT Tyler and an MBA from Texas Tech. 

I have over 20 years of experience behind the lens.

A little more about me...

After having kids, I realized my hobbies overlap a lot with toddlers. You wanna swing? heck yeah! You wanna dance to Moana for the 500th time? heck yeah! You wanna eat ice cream? heck yeah!

I have two super cute kiddos, one darling pug dog, and a whole ass fiance (so yes, I absolutely understand what wedding planning is like).

I love sitting in a hot tub, lounging in a hammock, and roller blading. In the Summer, I live to be in or near any body of water. I love to cook, and I'm the WORST singer, but I will always karaoke "friends in low places" if it's an option.
