"We are currently Tara's cover models and love all the pictures she captured of our family in action. She manages to shoot those moments when you're just rapt with your kids. I loved her attention to us before and after the shoot as well; she builds a relationship with her clients and it's easy to understand how people look so natural and at ease in her photos once you've met her."
- Shannon Hughes, Raumati
"We used Tara to photograph our daughters.
She is a warm and friendly lady who puts you at ease as soon as you meet her.
Our daughters bonded with her and Tara captured not only some wonderful photos but a moment in our family’s history that we hold very dear to our hearts.
I highly recommend Tara."

"I hate having my photo taken, but for your online presence, having professional head shots done are a necessary part of being a business owner.
Tara made me feel at ease from the first meeting when we discussed my business and how I wanted to present myself, the colours from my branding and how we could tie these all together. The photo shoot was easy and relaxed with a make up artist doing her magic as well as plenty of coffee and treats to eat!
Less than two weeks later I have selected and received my photos and I'm thrilled! I have had so many positive comments from friends and family and I am proud to have these images up on line. They make me look professional and glamorous but are also natural and warm - exactly the presence I wanted to share with the world - thanks Tara!"

"Tara is a true professional, she knows just how to capture a child’s spirit in a photograph. Our kids were comfortable being themselves with Tara, she was calm, patient and gentle, but fun at the same time! We came away with some beautiful prints that we will cherish forever. Thanks so much Tara!"

"Tara photographed me when I was at the end of my first pregnancy. She has such an amazing presence that made me feel comfortable and relaxed. It definately showed in the photos. She is so talented, I couldn't pick a favourite out of all of the photographs taken, so I have a dozen up on the wall!"

"Tara's glamour photo session .
I had recently lost 33 kgs and wanted to see myself through someone else's eyes. You see I was struggling with how I actually looked being thin.
Tara's style and approach made me feel beautiful I felt like a movie star. Nothing seemed like too much and I was able to tick off a couple of bucket list items.....tutu as an adult check....angel wings check. It was one of my best days ever.
I now have a set of the most stunning mages adorning my wall and I am so glad I chose Tara. She saw the me I wanted to see. She captured the me I Needed to see that I had lost under 33 kgs.
I would highly recommend her to everyone. 💞"

"Tara took a wide range of photos of my family, and followed us through a bunch of everyday activities. She coped really well with my raggle-taggle bunch of kids, and managed to snap some wonderful moments that I wouldn't have ever thought to photograph myself."
- Fern Campbell, Raumati
“We adore the photos Tara captured of our little family. It was relaxing and fun having Tara document our family Sunday brunch, she’s a real pro at capturing those special moments. And also as a Mum of 3 herself she has a wonderful warmth and ease around kids, which helped her get great pics (and stopped the small fella from being an endless goof who just wants to poke his tongue out for every pic!)”
– Vic Garlick, Paekakariki
“I love the idea of telling a story through images and when I heard that one of Tara’s specialities was doing just that, well, I promptly added “family photos” to the top of my upcoming birthday wish-list! We’re not a sit-down-smile-and-pose kind of family, oh no, so when Tara said she’d come into our home and just snap away while we carried on with our day, that suited us perfectly. The session was super relaxed and fun! She gave us all time to warm up then chill out. Oh my gosh, the photos! They are absolutely gorgeous!! I’m so in love with my family, hehehe. Tara, you rock! Thank you, thank you xx”
– Norrita Attwood, Raumati

She made me feel beautiful and at ease, and the results of the shoot were stunning. Tara prides herself in offering the personal touch and this was evident throughout all our interactions. Thoroughly recommend her!”

“Tara is an extraordinary talent and person. She had the ability to capture inner beauty and translate it into art with stunning results. I had the pleasure of being photographed by Tara and when I saw my images for the first time I got a bit emotional. It is important for woman to see different sides to themselves. Thank you so much Tara.”
