I recently had the privilege of working with Katie Condon, an award-winning poet and the author of Praying Naked, to create a series of portraits that embody her unique voice and vision. These images will represent Katie’s identity as a poet on her website, social media, and other platforms where her work connects with the world.

📖 Who Is Katie?
Katie’s poetry has graced the pages of The New Yorker, Ploughshares, and American Poetry Review, and she’s the recipient of the Charles B. Wheeler Poetry Prize. She’s also an assistant professor of English at Southern Methodist University, inspiring the next generation of writers. Her work delves into themes of intimacy, spirituality, and the human experience, making her a true force in contemporary poetry.

📸 The Creative Vision:
Katie wanted images that reflected her poetic identity—introspective yet bold, deeply personal yet inviting. Together, we crafted portraits that capture her essence and the artistry behind her words.

✨ The Result:
The final gallery features a mix of elegant and expressive images that Katie can use across her digital platforms. Whether she’s sharing her poetry or engaging with her audience, these visuals will enhance her brand as a writer and creative.

➡️ Calling All Creatives:
Whether you’re a poet, artist, or entrepreneur, your online presence should reflect your unique story. Let’s create imagery that speaks to who you are and what you do. 💼✨

💍✨ When Taryn booked a mini-session with me to capture some sweet memories with her boyfriend, Zach, little did she know there was a big surprise in store! Zach had secretly reached out to me beforehand, letting me know he had “the ring” and was planning to pop the question! 😍💕

We plotted the perfect moment: once we found “the spot,” I gave Zach the signal to “check his shoes.” But Zach added his own little twist, pointing Taryn to “look at something” by the lake. After a bit of playful confusion (“Wait, what am I looking for?!” 😂), he finally took a knee and asked her to be his forever. And of course, she said YES! 🥂💍💖

Swipe to relive this magical moment and share in their joy as they left the session as newly engaged fiancés! 📸✨

✨ Grateful for the sweetest moments with this beautiful family today! They came all the way from San Angelo, TX, trusting me to capture their precious memories while here in DFW for a wedding they're photographing tomorrow. It’s truly an honor when fellow photographers choose me to document their own family story. 🥹💙 Thank you so much Miya and Mark!

✨ Seeing motherhood in a whole new light ✨

When my dear friend stepped into this set, it wasn't about the typical maternity glow — it was about capturing her strength, confidence, and the undeniable power she radiates. 💥🤍

I love helping my mom clients break the mold and see themselves as more than just their journey — they’re bold, fierce, and uniquely them. This session was all about embracing that!

✨ From the cozy morning moments of Ally and Jake getting ready at my studio to their intimate courthouse ceremony at the Tarrant County courthouse, today was an adventure of pure love and excitement! 🥂💍 We drove through laughter and anticipation, and after the beautiful "I do’s," we explored, capturing the spark and romance of their newlywed joy before heading back to Dallas. Days like this remind me why I love documenting elopements — every moment, every smile, every heartfelt whisper. 💫

Thinking of eloping or having a courthouse ceremony? Let’s plan an unforgettable, love-filled day (or road trip?) together! 🖤

🎃👻 Happy Halloween! 👻🎃 Calling all ghouls, goblins, and lovers of the mysterious! Before weddings swept me off my feet, I was deep in the eerie and intense world of metal bands and horror-inspired shoots with local artists, think scenes dripping in Ben Nye stage blood. My happy place? All things macabre—sharp edges, shadows, and unsettling vibes.

Then one day, a friend asked if I'd photograph her brother's wedding. I thought, "She must've hit her head!" 😅 I tried convincing her to find someone else, but she loved my personality and wanted something a bit… unconventional. I finally caved, and that wedding led me into a 17-year adventure that's still going strong. And no - I will not show you those photos. They are nothing like what I deliver today.

Now, my days are filled with joyous "I dos," but I haven’t forgotten my roots. If you're craving something outside the ordinary—think shadows, mystery, and all the spooky vibes—let’s make it happen! 💀✨

Hey, Alexa. Play Murder On The Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis-Bextor. 🎧 When I’m losing steam mid-afternoon, this is my go-to for an instant mood lift. Thanks, Saltburn, for reminding us of this song almost TWO DECADES later. Thanks to the movie, the song reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart, #98 US Billboard Hot 100, and #10 on the Billboard Global 200.

From the moment Rachel and Gates stepped into each other’s lives, they knew they had something magical. Their wedding day was filled with personal touches, laughter, and moments that reflected their unique love story. From the heartfelt vows under a canopy of trees to the joyous bubble exit, every detail was a true reflection of them.

Rachel looked radiant walking down the aisle, while Gates' smile said it all as he saw his bride. Together, they celebrated surrounded by the warmth of friends and family, with an intimate setting and sparkling lights adding the perfect touch to their evening.

As a photographer, there’s nothing more fulfilling than capturing love stories like theirs. Cheers to Rachel & Gates! 🥂 Here’s to forever filled with laughter, love, and beautiful moments.

My heart swelled to about double in size when this comment from a recent client landed on the reviews feed:

"Tara has an incredible eye for detail, capturing not just the big moments but also the subtle, candid interactions that truly reflected the joy and love we felt that day. The lighting, composition, and overall quality of the photos are beyond anything we could have imagined. We now have a beautiful collection of memories that we’ll cherish forever.

What stood out the most was her ability to blend in seamlessly with our guests, making it feel like she was part of the celebration while still getting all the shots we wanted. She listened to our ideas and requests but also provided valuable suggestions that resulted in some of our favorite photos.

Communication was smooth throughout the entire process, and the turnaround time for the final images was impressive. We would highly recommend Tara to anyone looking to capture their special moments with creativity, warmth, and professionalism. It was a delight working with you Tara, such a beautiful soul, thank you for making our engagement party even more memorable!"

THIS is what it’s all about for me, friends. I love to connect with my couples, and I would LOVE to do that for you, too. Want to start the convo? My DMs are open! 💕

Did you know that the top three reasons couples love booking me are because

1️⃣ I talk so much that all my camera-shy couples forget they're doing a photo shoot with me!
2️⃣ I treat my couples the way I want to be treated as a client myself, and my couples know if they ask for something they don't need - I'm not going to let them put money into it.
3️⃣ I'm authentically myself, and this manifests as many goofy moments, laughs we share, and memories we make together throughout our connection.

I started my business because I'm passionate about being that all-inclusive photographer and wanted to find a way to make sure everyone feels welcome and loved. For me, it's so much more than just showing up at your wedding or session and taking some photos, delivering them, and being done. I'm in it because I want your experience to be wonderful, knowing that I have your back.

If you're looking for your perfect photographer then make sure to reach out; I'd love to tell you more about the process of working with me so you can feel confident in your decision in choosing the right photographer!

Talk to you soon!

Did you know that when you support my business, you’re supporting others, too? It’s true! In the past year, I’ve been able to pay it forward by using products of other small businesses in my branding materials and client gifts, as well as donating my time at the local animal shelter (because of you, I can afford to do so!)

When you support a small business, you’re supporting people. Local businesses aren’t run by shareholders or bots—they’re run by real live, passionate, purpose-driven humans who care about the details and are invested in the well-being of their community. But, of course, passion alone doesn’t pay the bills. That’s why I’m endlessly grateful for your active support of my business, whether by booking me for your celebration or recommending my services to your family and friends.
