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.

You're my people if...

You believe trans rights are human rights, Black lives matter, immigrants are welcome here, everyone makes their own medical decisions, science is real, and love is love, full stop.
You keep the ticket stubs and the handwritten notes.
Your favorite part of any trip is the random detour.
You’ll ditch the small talk at any party to go find the dog.
You'd rather cook a big messy dinner for friends than book a fancy restaurant.
Hanging out with me at an arcade, a bowling alley, or a live show sounds fun, not weird.

Three or more yeses?? You're already on my game night invite list.

Beam me up, Tara!

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.

Welcome to photographythat feels like you.
