I am Tara and I live in Newtownabbey. I am 48, my hair is greying at the sides and my body might well think it’s a whole lot older, but I make up for it with the enthusiasm of a teenager. I love a good laugh, I love a wee bit of cheeky banter, I care about people, I am loyal, I go above and beyond, and I give everything ![]()
My family means everything to me. I just love spending time together in the great outdoors. I love hiking, being in the mountains, dandering through forests, swimming in the sea and body boarding. I am obsessed with bluebells, chilling on the sofa, scoffing chinese takeaways, watching detective shows, laughing and eating crisps and haribo. I am obsessed with documenting ALL of this and more.
As a photographer I am good at making people feel relaxed. I am good at capturing emotion, and all the random wee moments that people don’t even notice happening. On a wedding day I do a lot of multi tasking. I have been known to iron a groom’s shirt, feed a baby and play football…. all whilst taking photos ![]()
. Most people say I end up feeling like part of the family…. after all everyone has a crazy aunt don’t they.
Whilst my social media accounts are mainly geared towards weddings I also photograph small businesses, families, kids, parties, schools, sports days, concerts… the list is pretty endless. I may or may not bring my yellow coat…. you just have to wait and see ![]()

What People Say
Tara is extremely talented and a joy to be around; what more could you want?! I am literally continually in awe of the beauty of her photos. Needless to say I’m delighted with the pics she has produced for me on two occasions – couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Karen Richardson
To say Tara is an amazing photographer is an understatement. The photos she took at our strictly event literally caught the moment in a still photograph… I don’t even know how that is possible. I hate getting my photo taken but Tara makes you feel so at ease while doing so. Thank you so so much Tara for capturing amazing memories of our strictly journey xx
