I’m a humanist, all things horror lover, and a full-time wedding photographer who's been partying with y'all almost every weekend for the past 19 years.
I’m VERY passionate (and loud!) about equality and human rights. I believe everyone gets to love who they love, worship however they want, and live the life that feels like theirs, in peace.
Taradise is body-positive, human-centered, and open to everyone who shows up with love in their heart for other humans, no matter your race, religion, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or marital status.
I've been on a mission since 2007 to undo the damage those elementary school photo days left behind. If you've spent your whole life hating being photographed, I take that as a personal challenge. I mean, I'm a Leo. "Win that challenge" is my middle name. 👀
I'm not some stiff, "look how serious I am" girly - for fucks sake, I photograph happy events and show people how to Cupid Shuffle while I "work" - I don't need to be "oh so serious". I joke around, stay in the moment, and prompt for movement instead of freezing you in a pose. By the wedding day, we've already hung out a few times, built a bond, so when I pick up my camera it doesn't feel like an official photoshoot. It feels like hanging out with your friend who happens to be holding a camera and knows exactly what she's doing with it.


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 and 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.
