Hi there! I’m so grateful that you’re here, taking the time to learn more about me and my work. For me, photography is about so much more than just taking pictures. It’s about capturing moments, emotions, and memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
I’ve been in the business for over a decade now, and every person I’ve had the privilege of photographing has changed me in some way. It’s an incredible honor to be invited into people’s lives, to see them at their most vulnerable and authentic. And that’s what I strive to capture in my images – the real moments, the genuine connections, the love that shines through even when life gets tough.
At the end of the day, any photographer can deliver good photos, but I want to give you more than that. I want to create something beautiful together that is authentically you. I want to hold space for you to be completely yourself, to let your guard down and let me see you as you really are. Because that’s where the magic happens.
Investing in memories is one of the most important things we can do in life. Photographs are something that only increases in value over time, as the images get passed down for generations. And if you’re here shopping around, just trying to find the cheapest deal, I understand. But I want you to know that I’m not that photographer. I’m passionate about capturing families who believe in the value of meaningful, authentic photographs that will last a lifetime.
So if you’re looking for someone who will capture the real you, who will create images that are a true reflection of who you are, then I’m your gal. Let’s create something beautiful together.
At the core of my photography business is the belief that every person’s story is worth telling, and every family deserves to be seen and heard. I stand with the Black Lives Matter movement and am committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. I support and uplift the LGBTQ+ community and welcome all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation. I value kindness, empathy, and open-mindedness, and I strive to create a safe space where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves. Whatever your personality or family dynamic, I accept and welcome it with open arms
As long as you’re kind & open-minded, I’m in.
I’m just want to make cool art with you.
Wanna know more about me, where I came from
and how I started my business? Read on…
I was born in Alabama and lived the first 10 years of my life in Texas! I’m a southern girl at heart. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Communication and have lived in Pennsylvania ever since.
I am a mother to the 2 sweetest boys. My husband is my biggest supporter and my true best friend in life. Together we are raising what I am sure will be two upstanding young men.
I always love to meet new people – especially when they inspire me to be a better person. I have long lasting relationships with my friends and I am a lover of all animals. Some have called me a free spirit! I welcome that description with open arms.
I look forward to meeting your family! Please contact me to book your session. xoxo, Taryn
