Tara Lerch Photography Capturing newborns and families with a lot in between. Based out of Central Pennsylvania. Hi there, I am Tara Lerch (your next photographer)!

My love for photography goes all the way back to when I was a little kid. I went from that pestering friend in school that photographed everything and everyone, to photography school in Massachusetts. After graduation I worked for photographers in Philadelphia, my local newspaper, and I became a food and commercial photographer; all while squeezing in family sessions whenever I could. Over the pas

t 16 years I have had the opportunity to grow my passion into a full time career. I really love photographing newborn babies, families and capturing those magical moments on your wedding day . Something about creating lasting friendships and photographing all the milestones makes my heart incredibly happy. Ultimately, I am a Mom, a wife, a sister and a daughter, I totally get what you are going through. My goal is not only create beautiful images and freeze time for you, but to create a fun experience and make you feel extremely comfortable! I know from personal experience that it can be stressful getting your family ready for photos. A newborn won't sleep, your child rubs their body up against the dirty car or you wake up with a weird blemish on your wedding day. Rest assured that will we will work together to make sure everyone is smiling during these photos and having fun!

In November, I had the opportunity to partner with Pleasant Valley Greenhouse & Gifts in Freeburg for their Small Business Open House. Our goal was not only to help increase foot traffic, but also to find a meaningful way to give back to our community.

We decided to donate all proceeds from the photo mini sessions to the Meals 4 Seals program. Thanks to 16 wonderful families who stopped by, all donation-based sessions raised $400 for this great program. Thank you Erin from Pleasant Valley Greenhouse & Gifts for setting up the beautiful backdrop and everyone who came by.

It’s been wild the last few months and I’ll be sharing more soon. For now, I’m excited to show the senior banners for Basketball, Wrestling, and Cheerleading at Shikellamy! I love how they turned out and am always grateful for the opportunity.

Now I just need to see them in person—someone send me a photo of them hanging up 🙌

🏀Always and forever grateful🏀

I'm confident there's a more efficient approach. I just haven't discovered it yet.
