BEHIND THE LENS
I’AM TARA
Yes, Peach is my real last name
Photography is my form of meditation, I like to dive deep and create something meaningful.
MOM, PHOTOGRAPHER, DESIGNER, ANIMAL LOVER, CRAVES THE OUTDOORS, WANDERLUST SOUL WITH A HOMEBODY HEART.
I have brought 3 amazing, crazy, beautiful little people into this world. And I figure I have a one in three chance of getting it right. They are my reason for living and have completed my heart. My everything.
I AM A OUTGOING INTROVERT
You will find me in a limited number of places. Exploring the outdoors, at the gym, with my kids trying to show them as much of the world as I can. On my introverted days, I’ll lay low, hang at home, in my sweatpants cozied up watching movies and bad TV. Listening to music with my headphones or getting out hiking alone just to have some quiet.
Music honestly moves my soul. I love everything from Eminem to Vance Joy and just about everything in between. I will bring music to all my sessions, and I will likely start dancing. I wish I could play the violin, in not a classical kind of way but more like a badass rocker type way.
I love adventure and crave to be outside, mountain biking, camping, skiing, hiking, relaxing at the beach. I love the smell of the earth after it’s rained. There is so much beauty in this world!!!! Being surround by that and getting away from the hustle of life, putting down my phone, I feel 100% myself and come alive.
CONSIDER ME YOUR THIRD WHEEL
I am about capturing who you are, in a place that you love. This isn’t about me showing up and just creating some pretty pictures. This for sure is a two-way street!! I want to learn your story and capture it exactly how you live it and feel it. Perfectly imperfect. Forget what you think the photos should look like and just embrace it all, the loud, and the quiet, those belly laughs, goosebumps, and the unexpected touches, and all the rest of that juicy real-life stuff.
FUN FACTS About Me
My dream vehicle is 1977 Ford Bronc, baby blue. I grew up on 180 acres, so I dream to have an acreage with more horses, chickens and for my kids to grow up surrounded by nothing but adventure and their imagination. I love to cook but hate baking. I have eaten the same breakfast for the last 10 years. I’ll try anything once. I will only read books that are a series, mostly because I get so invested in the stories.
My inner kid still loves Disneyland, Harry Potter and Marvel movies. Hugs are a part of my love language. The only TV shows that I have seen every episode of is Sons of Anarchy, Sex in the City and Games of Thrones. I also swear probably too much.
FUEL TO MY FIRE
Throughout the years that I’ve been a photographer, I’ve ventured down different paths with photography, but I’ve learned what inspires me, what makes my heart beat. It’s the mad love and authentic connections between people. Life is too short – and we are not guaranteed another day and photographs preserve a piece of you and the people beside us. I want to give you something that you can look on with happy tears in 1, 5, 20 years.
I WANT TO TELL YOUR STORY AS IT UNFOLDS. I WANT TO CAPTURE THE LITTLE AND THE BIG MOMENTS SURROUNDED BY THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOU THE MOST.
