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!

Know what makes me happy? It’s almost November, and I’m still posting baseball photos. ⚾️

All of my Pinterest dreams came true with this shoot. These boys were wild — they made me laugh out loud more times than I can count and might just be the cutest little Sandlot crew ever. Honestly, I got to a point where I was just clicking the shutter and hoping for the best. Believe it or not, there was very minimal photoshopping involved!

The coordination that went into this — the outfits, finding Wendy, the whole vibe — was nothing short of amazing. While I was downloading these photos, I couldn’t stop smiling. I swear I could still hear their giggles.

A few random lessons from this shoot:
⚾️ Don’t photograph a group of boys on a Friday night before a football game.
⚾️ Patience is your best friend.
⚾️ Always bring the coach — they do not listen to moms.
⚾️ When you ask them to put their arms around each other, expect headlocks and someone falling over.
⚾️ And most importantly, be ready to laugh until you cry or p*e a little.

I can’t wait to recreate this shoot when they’re in high school someday.
And yes… after this one, I definitely went home and had myself a well-earned beverage.

It’s been too long since I last photographed this family! This boy just keeps growing — he’s such a natural in front of the camera. Still, I can’t help but see the tiny 4-month-old I first photographed every time I look through my lens!

This shoot was SO much fun! 💙

Mom wanted to capture who he is — sitting in “his” spot with a Sunbury Sub, driving around singing with his sister, sparring with his brother (there was a legit UFC term, but I totally forgot it 😂), and gaming like a pro. She even asked for a specific look over the shoulder because that’s how he always says, “Ok, Mom.” 🥹

Don’t we all wish we could freeze time? I just hope I did this awesome kid justice and captured his spirit in a way the whole family will treasure for years to come.

I felt a little upside down going into this shoot. 😅 Everything was on a hill and the sun was not our friend. Until the last 5 minutes... That sunset was 😍🤌 and these kids (even that older one 😉) were perfect!
