Let TARA photograph your life!

The other day I had the opportunity to photograph Heidi and Alex and their two little girls, Hazel and Mazie at their home here in Dover, NH. After 4 weeks of these stay-at-home orders, I felt quite emotional seeing a family that typically I get to see whenever I want: at the gym, around town, […]

Nowadays 100% of my couples come to me organically, which is an incredible blessing (and the result of almost 20 years of hard work!). They come from venues at which I am a preferred vendor, through past brides and other clients, through friends and family, couples I meet at my amazing gym (Seacoast Kettlebell in […]

If there were ever a wedding day that I have photographed in 18 years (hundreds of weddings) that has embodied all that is love, it was this wedding day. Even as I write this post, I feel overwhelmed by the need to fully and accurately portray the feeling of this day, but ultimately I will […]

Who is up for a great love story? You must be if you’re here reading this! My favorite part of meeting my couples is hearing their love stories: when they met, how they met, first impressions etc. Kaleigh and Jacob are high school sweethearts and got engaged last February 2017 on the decks at Martingale […]

Emily + Justin

January 16, 2018

I love love love photographing spring weddings in New Hampshire! It is such an amazing way to start off the season of shooting, and when it’s right in my hometown, it’s even better! Emily and Justin called me to photograph their intimate wedding reception at the Rivermill at Dover Landing here in Dover, NH where […]

Alissa + Ryan

December 13, 2017

August in New England does not scream ski season, so Loon Mountain might seem like an unlikely place to host a wedding, but for mountain lovers like Alissa and Ryan, the beauty of the White Mountains knows no season. Alissa and Ryan first fell in love with the area, and each other, while studying at […]

Ashley + Al

December 7, 2017

The wedding day is a wild and crazy ride of emotions – for everyone – even without factoring in weather! On August 5th we all woke up (here in Southern New Hampshire) acutely aware that the weather forecast said 80% chance of rain…until 3:30. And guess what time we were starting our first look at? […]

Ashley + Al are Engaged!

December 6, 2017

I had so much fun running around Charlestown with Ashley & Al for their engagement session! We started out at The Ironsides, an awesome little pub in Charlestown, for a beer and then spent the next nearly two hours on foot going from place to place looking for all the best spots with the best […]

Calvin + Jessie

January 17, 2017

What a perfect way to start off a wedding season! Jessie and Calvin celebrated the majority of their wedding day at the gorgeous Red Barn at Outlook Farm in South Berwick, Maine, but this wedding day had SO much more to it! The day stated off with a traditional tea ceremony at the home of the […]

Elizabeth + Bill

August 18, 2015

Elizabeth and Bill celebrated their wedding day on Saturday at the lovely Beachmere Inn in Ogunquit, Maine. As a photographer, I swooned at the property because of its awesome portrait opportunities – and cringed at the blue skies and bright sun, but the clouds rolled in beautifully and right on que – just in time […]

you're in!
