This gal is a gem -- my headshots were wonderful and she really knew how to make the subject "me" look good! Thanks so much Tara... look forward to working with you again!

I have been looking for a Photographer to shoot long overdue family photos for a while now. I am so delighted to have found Tara! Professional, quick to respond and incredibly talented. Her stunning backdrops, lighting and the special moments she captures are nothing short of dreamy. When I first saw the Lavender Field photos of my little one, I cried. Truly magical! Tara really knows how to make children feel relaxed and confident. Thank you again, Tara!

Laura Hinchey

Our newborn photos were stunning! We had to have them taken outside due to Covid and they turned out better than I could have imagined! Tara was patient and professional and I'm so happy with how everything turned out. Now we have a beautiful keepsake for our baby boy ????

Tara is great at what she does. Her website and the various marketing material for seasonal campaigns are very informative and easy to understand when making decisions on a photo session for my family. Her use of technology makes it really easy to schedule sessions, make payments, receive reminders, review and order digital or prints. During sessions, Tara is polite, easy going, and great with kids. Her edits are realistic, and true to life. Highly recommend her services.

Nicole Macdonald

We could not be happier with the photos we received from our family shoot with Tara. She was professional, flexible, knowledgable, and an overall pleasure to work with. We look forward to future photo opportunities!

Megan Battersby

Tara recently captured an in-home session for my family and they are images that I will truly cherish. She has an eye for unique perspectives, and knows how to be a fly on the wall so we didn't feel like we were in front of the camera at all. Thank you Tara for these beautiful memories!

Thank you Tara for always be amazing. For working with my (not always cooperative) family and making us look so good. You ease the anxiety and stress that is sometimes associated with family pictures with your easy going nature. You make even the grumpiest of kids have fun

Where to start. She is creative and has vision. She has all sorts of sessions and offers many different photo services. We've been going to her for years and have always been satisfied.

Tara is so wonderful at what she does. I came to her without any plans or ideas of what I needed. I just knew I wanted “relaxed and authentic” looking photographs for my business. After speaking with Tara who had great suggestions on location and props, I had trust in her abilities immediately. Tara is creative and patient throughout the experience. My photographs turned out better than I had imagined. The feedback I have received from these Photos is outstanding! I am so glad I made the decision to connect with Tara. I will be hiring her for all my future business and personal photography! Thanks again Tara, for making my experience so easy and beautiful!

Rude. I was looking forward to getting photos but so glad I dodged a bullet with this girl.

Stephanie Thompson

We hired Tara to do our newborn photography for our first born and I couldn't be happier! From the first time I visited her website I fell in love with her style and couldn't wait to have photos of my own. We were lucky enough that the stay at home order released for a brief window in time in which we got our photos done. Tara was professional and did everything possible to provide a safe environment in which we could gather. She worked quickly and efficiently without deminishing quality. You can see she is very passionate and even gets excited over the photos she captures. Thank you so much Tara for capturing this moment in time for us! You'll definitely be seeing us again!

Sunny Wishart

Tara did our family photos at an outdoor fundraising event, the pictures have turned into something we will cherish always! It started raining when she did our session, and she still managed to make us all look polished in the final print. Tara also took the time to engage my son and had him running and laughing and those pictures were just the best! It's a big deal when a little one is excited and engaged in your family photos, it really shines through on the end product. Highly recommend Tara for your family pics!

LeighAnna Deveau

I have always been so happy when working with Tara. She is very professional, calm and patient. We first used Tara Graham in 2013 for our engagement and wedding photography. I still remember the day we had our reveal. I couldn't stop crying, the photos were so beautiful and I couldn't believe the way she captured our day. We have them on rotation in a digital frame because I couldn't choose my favourites! We have since used Tara for all our milestones including our newborn session for our daughter and her first birthday session! The way Tara worked with our little one amazed me. My daughter completely melted into her arms and the photos Tara captured such amazing pictures! She is so professional - her studio is set up to ensure everyone is comfortable, and thinks of the little things that really set her apart. Tara also offers in-home sessions, we have done two and have been beyond amazed at those images as well! We were able to include our animals in our photos and I cherish those photos so much! She has so much patience! I can't give Tara enough stars. If you chose to work with her, you will not be disappointed. I promise you, you will want to work with her over and over again.

Tara is wonderful! Highly recommend

Tara did a maternity fitness inspired shoot for images for my women’s fitness and healthy company. She did an amazing job. The shoot itself was quick, direct, professional and the images turned out amazing. I highly recommend Tara!

Natasha Schoonbroodt

Tara is a wonderful photographer. She's so patient and always delivers stunning photos! (even if your child cries the whole time.. she manages to capture the rare smile you didn't even know happened!) I highly recommend her to everyone.

Lyndsey Thomas

We had family photos done by Tara and they are so good!

Victoria Smyth

Tara is so sweet and lovely to work with. Very professional and friendly. I really enjoyed my maternity session with her! And her photos are beautiful!

Carla Montgomery

We were so impressed with Tara during our newborn baby shoot. She is an absolute baby whisperer and was able to capture some amazing shots, even when our baby was having a bit of a fussy day! She took a lot of time to make sure she captured lots of adorable images of our little guy. We would definitely hire Tara again.

Cara Chiapponi

Tara is beyond talented, professional and friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any photography needs. She captured our maternity and we are so grateful she created the most beautiful lasting memories through her photography. I look forward to Tara taking our newborn shots when the baby is here!

Melissa Volpe

I was so impressed and happy with the photos I couldn’t wait to share them! Tara did such an excellent job with my 3 week old son in such a short 5 minute window at a last minute Movies for Mommies mini event and I am so lucky I was able to have my sons photos taken with her. I absolutely love how my photos turned out and my family does too!

Jennifer Otvos

Tara is definitely in the right profession. Her photos are so beautiful. During our family photos, she made our chaos into beautiful, and the photos just look so effortless. Would certainly recommend to anyone! Thanks Tara!

Cassie Zyhar

Tara has done a number of different type of photos for my Family and she has been amazing! Her style, talent, professionalism, are just a few reasons why we keep having her capture these special moments. Definitely highly recommend!

Rachel Reis

I have been using Tara for my families photos for years. My kids absolutely love her and she makes taking photos with them fun. Not only do we have a blast taking the photos but they always turn out amazing. She’s a true artist.

Lee Williams

A really friendly, welcoming photographer. She made myself and my daughter (the one been photographed) feel comfortable and welcome. Nice clean and comfortable location as well. A little on the pricy side but you get good value for your money and great service with a smile. I am from the Caribbean so this was very important to me. Great work Tara, keep it up.

Stefanie Baldwin

We did our Maternity and Newborn photoshoots with Tara and I'm so glad we did! The photos are INCREDIBLE! We couldn't narrow down our favourites so we ended up purchasing all of them. Tara has an amazing eye and sets up the most stunning shots. She made us feel super comfortable which is reflected in the photos. She was so good with my newborn son, I actually learned soothing techniques from her! We also purchased an album and custom frame and are so happy with the quality. I make my own photobooks but the album Tara made is so professional and beautiful, it is next level! The custom frame is so stunning I cried when I saw it. Besides being very talented, Tara is professional, responsive and friendly. We truly enjoy working with her and will continue to as our family grows!

Sonia

This woman right here is amazing! She’s been photographing my little family for over 8 years. She’s been there for almost all of my children’s milestones and so many important moments. She’s photographed my god children. She’s done my professional headshots and so much more. Anyone who knows me knows how much importance I put into taking pictures and she’s literally one of a select few I trust to take these photos and who I genuinely support and recommend. She’s never disappointed me. And I can’t rave about her enough. Please book her for your family sessions, newborn sessions, mini sessions or whatever you need. You will not be disappointed.

Michelle Cole

I cannot say enough about Tara and what an amazing photographer she is! From the ease of booking, to her artistic vision, to the final proofs - every step was flawless. Tara captured amazing memories for my family to look back on and I will definitely be requesting her services again in the future.

D&K Stelatos

Tara, we can't thank you enough for how willing you were to help us out at such short notice. You were so lovely to work with. You made the process effortless and were so efficient getting everything to us. The final product is perfect - though, all of the shots were perfect! We look forward to working with you again.

Christine Hardy

Tara is incredibly talented. She has done maternity and newborn photos for us and I could not be happier with them. She was so gentle and calming with our son and she was able to capture the most amazing photos of him. We will be using her for any future photo sessions and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Andrea Fenton

Tara is so amazing at what she does! I’ve had her do photos of both my girls since birth and admire the prints on my walls every day. She is patient and kind even with less than cooperative little ones and the results never fail to amaze me. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for photography services-you won’t be disappointed.

Tanya Dennis

To say I am not comfortable in front of a camera is an understatement. I usually delete about 99.9% of all pictures taken of me. Not only did Tara make my family and I feel comfortable during our session, but I loved pretty much every picture she took, and displayed them in our house! She captured our family perfectly down to my daughter's crazy personality. The pictures were just stunning and I can't thank her enough. I will absolutely be asking her to take pictures for us again! Thank you Tara!

Cherie Ekuban

Tara, took stunning pictures or my daughter as a newborn and then as she turned the big one. Pictures, are memories that you can look back on for years to come. Tara, ensured that when you look at these pictures a story can be told based on the props, and colour scheme used. She was very professional and followed strict covid 19 precautions. She was down to earth, and humble. She not only ensured that my daughter was taken care, she was able to remind me the importance of self care. I am truly appreciative and thankful that I meet Tara and allowed her to capture memories of my most precious gem, my daughter.

Ava Marielle

Tara Graham has been my children/family photographer since 2013. Tara has given my children and I the diverse experience of candid moments, posed portraits, in studio sittings and more recently family-themed outdoor sessions. She is a natural when photographing family/celebratory portraiture or simple portfolios relating to prom or sports milestones. Her work is showcased on state-of-the-art photography products including keepsake photobooks. Recently, we ordered photos mounted on wooden circles of different sizes and we were able to create the Tara Graham Wall in our foyer where our guests can admire a collage of her work! She brings a sense of magic when she clicks the camera's button because the quality of the pictures are spectacular where everyone happens to be photogenic. Touch ups are very rare in Tara's work. Her shoots produce beautiful shots that appreciate personality, celebration, and treasure. She also brings a deep focus with a sense of vision during any photo session whether her client is a newborn or an extended family. Tara's talent is brought to fruition through capture of natural or posed moments in time, picture perfection and impeccable workmanship! She responds promptly over text or email and photo delivery is punctual. Tara is a gentle soul with her camera waiting to personify your vision! We couldn't recommend Tara more!
