Hey there, photography friends! If you’re ready to kick your photography game up a notch, you’re in the right place. I’m Tara Rochelle, your go-to gal for all things senior portraits, and I’m here to help you sharpen those skills, get inspired, and maybe even learn a few things you didn’t know you needed! Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned pro, there’s always something new to learn, and I’m thrilled to offer you opportunities to grow through my workshops, shootouts, and speaking engagements!

Why Photography Workshops and Shootouts Are Where the Magic Happens

You know that scene in The Karate Kid where Mr. Miyagi teaches Daniel all those life lessons through simple tasks? That’s kind of what photography workshops and shootouts are like—except way more fun, and no one’s making you wax their car. These sessions are all about pushing your creativity, trying new techniques, and, most importantly, having a blast with other photographers who get your passion!! When started out, it can be challenging to figure out where the heck to invest back in your business. You know the saying “When you stop learning, you stop growing”? Well, that couldn’t be more true!! As photographers, we all know that learning never truly stops. The industry is constantly evolving, and keeping up with the latest trends, techniques, and styles is crucial.

What to Expect from My Workshops

Imagine this: you, me, and a group of awesome photographers all coming together to learn and create. My photography workshops, whether they’re right here in Los Angeles or in some other cool spot, are packed with tips and tricks that you can actually use. Whether it’s posing like a pro, mastering lighting, or finding that signature style that makes your work POP, we’ll cover it all!! And let’s be real—there’s nothing better than learning in a room full of people who love photography as much as you do!! Even some of the most seasoned pros tell me they learned something new. Even if it’s just a simple editing hack or how to fold that dang reflector, the learning never ends! Speaking of that reflector… Wanna know a little secret? did you know I use one on over 90% of my natural light work.

Why Shootouts Are Just Plain Awesome

If workshops are the learning part, shootouts are where we put all that knowledge to the test. Think of it like the ultimate photo playground. You’ll get to experiment, try out new ideas, and, of course, snap some seriously cool shots. Plus, you get to hang out with other photographers who are just as pumped about capturing great images as you are. It’s like a party, but with cameras!!

Speaking Gigs: Where Inspiration Meets Fun

When I’m not running workshops or shootouts in Los Angeles, you can find me at photography events and conferences all over the place—Chicago, Utah, Minnesota, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, Denver, Indianapolis, Austin—you name it! I’m out there sharing what I’ve learned over the years. Whether it’s tips on building a photography business or finding your creative voice, my talks are designed to be as fun as they are informative. Plus, you’ll walk away with some new tricks up your sleeve!
