Introduction

Hi! I'm Tara Donaldson, and if you like photos that feel real and not forced, I might be your person. *Please note, though, that I'll be charged for every inquiry, so I'm grateful for only messages with serious interest. WHAT I SHOOT: Maternity, Motherhood, Couples, Engagements (but not proposals), Solo Portraits WHY ME: I love capturing moments of love, whether between two people, a mama and her unborn babe, parents loving on their little ones and everything in between. MY STYLE: I focus on storytelling with an emotive style, like bottling an intimate moment to save forever. I shoot in natural light and natural settings. FEEL WEIRD/AWKWARD ABOUT POSING? I can provide lots of guidance if you like or leave you to it if you're a natural! PHOTOSHOOT LOCATIONS: outdoors or in-home (location dependent). Studio rental is available for an additional fee. WHERE I SHOOT: In NYC IMAGE TURNAROUND TIME: Typically within 1 week LAST NOTE: I will always take the time to make sure what we create is something you'll cherish for a lifetime. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

unfold fold
I am currently priced below market value as a new business working to build customer trust.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
I have a brief 'get to know you' questionnaire that I send out once bookings are finalized so you can share what you're looking for from your shoot and your photos, as well as a little about you and your comfort level. From there, we can have a phone call, depending on client preference, to discuss anything further.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
I have spent 10 years working in the fashion industry, including gaining tips of the trade from leading industry photographers. Otherwise, I am largely self-taught, as are many photographers in the motherhood/maternity category.
