We had a family portrait of 14 (including children, a toddler and an infant) done with Tara. We were only visiting the Seattle area, and she was great suggesting an outdoor location for our pictures. Tara is very friendly and knowledgeable - she had great poses and ideas even for such a large group. She was also awesome working with the children and toddler even when they were shy/stubborn, and she was efficient so that the photo session did not take too long, yet we still got a lot of photos from it! Tara was flexible with the package she was providing to us, which was super nice since then we were only paying for what we wanted. Our pictures are BEAUTIFUL!!! I love her photography style. We look like models in her pictures! All of us were very happy with her and would strongly recommend.

  Tara did such a great job photographing our wedding. We had a short time to get all our photos, and Tara was efficient and extremely pleasant to work with. The photos turned out great! We'll be sure to use Tara again for future occasions.

  Tara is the most talented portrait photographer I know. Her images are stunning!

  Best photographer/friend this gal could have ever asked for!! She did a couples session for me and my husband and truly, and perfectly, captured exactly what I wanted thank you tara!!

  I couldn't imagine anyone better talented and professional to have documented our daughter's life. From maternity session, our birth experience, to the first days at home, Tara McGovern captured some breathtaking moments that we will cherish forever. Now we are preparing to celebrate our 3rd year of Birthday photos with Tara. Hands down the best photographer around!

  Ive followed Tara for the last decade or so because Im obsessed with her skill, vision, and talent. Shes not a picture taker, shes a life story capturer! Working with her is a dream come true and worth every penny!

  We hired Tara for our wedding before we even met her, just because I saw some beautiful wedding photos she had shot for someone I knew. We finally got to meet her 6 weeks before our big day to go over our random plans for the day - like taking photos with chickens and other crazy ideas - which she happily went along with all of them 🙂 She did a pre-wedding photoshoot for us to get a feel for how we would interact in front of the camera to make sure our wedding photos are as great as can be. The photos from that pre-shoot are absolutely INCREDIBLE! We scrolled through loving every single one and amazed that she somehow captured us looking natural, in love, and totally not awkward. 100% recommend, if you're looking for any kind of photographer. We can't wait to see the way she captures our wedding day!

  Tara is amazing! Her quality of work, attention to detail, and creativity was everything we were looking for and more!

  Tara is genius! She shared with me some of the unedited footage from the shoot and I cant wait to see the final product. She is funny, patient and really tries to become apart of the family that she is shooting. I am certain that I will use her many, many more times in the future.

  She has an amazing eye for photography and capturing her subject. Her artistry excels above the rest, she is just a rockstar in her own right. Weve used her for over seven years now and love the memories shes created and captured.

  Tara is the BOMB! She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. Ive received so many compliments on both sets. She was amazing on our special day and took all of our wishes into consideration. She was patient photographing our 2 year old ring bear and 3 year old flower girl and was sure to capture all of our special moments of the day. Couldnt have asked for a more perfect person to be apart of our special day!

  Tara was warm, creative and thoughtful about us as subjects and the photos that would best express our relationships. She spent so much time making sure she got the best shots. She also was also so collaborative but also knew when to take charge. Our family highly recommends her.

  Tara has that incredible talent for seeing just the story that goes with the picture. Little Lucy Mae's pictures show her sweetness and the love her parents have for her and each other. I am so excited to see Lucy Mae's pictures, they are so beautiful.

  Tara is incredibly talented. By far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! She really worked with us knowing we aren't crazy about being in front of the camera-but made us so comfortable and really just made it easy for us. Over a year later and I still go through my photos and am in awe of what she captured-so are my friends and family! So glad we found you Tara!

  Tara photographed our engagement portraits, and we couldn't be more pleased. She is so great at what she does. Thanks Tara for some beautiful images! Hoping to get more portraits soon.

  We had a wonderful shoot with Tara. 8 children ranging in age from 2-13 and Tara was able to manage them all and get incredible photos. We were so happy with the end result. Highly recommend!

  Tara was the second shooter at our wedding and so I didn't meet her until day of... She was so immediately personable that I kind of wished I'd found her to be my lead photographer! Her assistance made all the difference in easing my nerves and she had incredible shots to add to our album. Since then I've constantly admired her work and so I've promised myself that someday I'll work exclusively with her on a project to add to our family's "portfolio"!

  Best photographer ever! Has such an artistic creative eye! Goes out of her way to be involved in your photoshoots as far as helping look for certain outfits when I was having trouble finding certain things and throwing out ideas to really step it up a notch. No one else will ever take photos of the important events in my life!
