“I immediately felt at ease and comfortable! Tara was able to capture my true personality.”
I've always get super nervous when it's time to get new headshots which is funny considering I'm an actress! Tara was so good at helping me relax and both me and my agent are so thrilled with my new headshots!

I totally get that last minute emergencies come up and will do my best to get you in asap. Your deposit can be moved to a new date 2 times.
The artists listed above have been working with me for many years. They are amazing at what they do which is why I recommend them to anyone wanting to elevate their session by using a professional artist. I can coordinate the artist for you, or you can do so on your own. If you are hiring an artist other than one from my recommended list, please arrive at the studio with your first look already done and ready to begin shooting. If using one of my recommended artists, you will be able to use the dedicated makeup/dressing room prior to your session to have the services completed on site.

The BESTArtists
If you will be using one of my recommended artists for your session, please let me know at least 48 hours prior to your shoot so I can ensure the makeup room is available and can coordinate the scheduling.
The rates indicated are set by the recommended artists and are subject to change. You will pay your artist directly the day of your session.
If you are using a different artist other than the ones indicated, please arrive at your scheduled shoot time. The makeup room will only be available from the beginning of your shoot time until the end of your session and not for pre-shoot preparations.
Things to keep in mind- This is YOUR shoot! Myself and the artists will always suggest what would work best but your input is just as important. This is a group effort!
Please plan to show your artist examples and inspiration of for what you envision. One persons version of a smokey eye could be very different from another persons. Please speak up and let your artist know if there is ANYTHING you want to fix / change.
You should look like the best version of you and the artists and myself are here to help make that happen.
