Meet YOUR photographer

Hi, I'm Tara! Although my focus is mainly on couples and weddings/elopements, I also love to take on small families, branding, and content creation. I love documenting emotive human connection and value intimate moments that may even seem unimportant. But I believe simple moments can be so overlooked and my goal is to holistically capture every part to tell your story in a way that is most authentic to YOU.

I love when people let loose and have fun without worrying how silly they might look. I think life is too short to not love hard on our people and it's so beautiful to see it from a different point of view. Everyone loves a candid moment captured and is usually thankful for having it, because you never know when that will be the last. 

Sometimes I feel that people don't see themselves the way others do and they might just be surprised to see how radiant they are when they look at someone they love.

That's where my sweet spot is and the reason I love what I do.

She knows how to capture all the small moments, she becomes your number one hype woman, knows how to navigate your hectic wedding schedule, and most importantly, she produces the most gorgeous work.

Laura + Eric

"Tara is such a fun person who makes it so easy to have a genuine, beautiful shoot. We were so comfortable with Tara and it really showed through our pictures. Her editing style, her communication, and just her as a person make her the best photographer."

Gabbi + Tommy

When you're looking to book the day of photographer, you're also signing on to someone who will be there with you through the chaos, the calm, the crying, and asking them to see through it all and to find the details. I can undoubtedly say, Tara was a pivotal part of making our wedding day as amazing as it was.

Tanji + Markos

"We really felt like we were able to tell you exactly what we wanted, didn’t want, and even able to throw out things here and there without feeling like we had to stay on a specific timeline."

2024 Travel Dates

Although I have loved my local Kansas City, MO weddings, I get that people love to travel to a place that feels more like their style. And I open my books to a few travel weddings throughout the year for couples that feel like the right fit. 

If getting married with a small group of loves ones present, in a sentimental place you hold close to your heart, having an intimate dinner party reception, and other nontraditional elements are more your style...I highly encourage you to inquire below so I can send you my Complimentary Elopement Guide.

Below are dates I am traveling outside of Kansas City, MO - inquire to see if we can add your destination to my calendar year!
