Tara really has a gift when it comes to photography. Her work is truly marvellous and I don’t think I could have ever imagined my wedding photos being as incredible as they are (not to mention, she captured stunning engagement photos for us too). Aside from her raw talent as a photographer, she is an incredible human being. She gave me numerous vendor recommendations, made a timeline that she was sure to align with both my ceremony and reception coordinators, and she basically doubled as a my wedding planner. She also became a major part of my support system. She brought a calming presence that just made me feel as though no matter what happened, my day would turn out perfect. With my fiancé and I being from the states, it was really nice to have Tara to walk us through all the wonders and ways of Canada (the culture, the cities, the hikes). She spent countless hours making sure our day ran smoothly, our photos were perfect, and we were happy. I mean it when it say my wedding would not have been complete without her. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I’m beyond thankful for all she did for us.

As a No Trace Photographer, I embody the principle of leaving no trace in the environments I capture, blending respect for nature with my photographic practice. My work is about careful planning and non-intrusive interaction with the natural world, ensuring I preserve its untouched beauty for others to enjoy. I don’t alter landscapes for the perfect shot; I adapt, using longer lenses to keep a respectful distance, especially in sensitive areas.

Through my lens, I advocate for conservation and ethical engagement with nature, striving to make a positive impact one photo at a time. Being a No Trace Photographer is more than a title—it's a commitment to preserving the world's landscapes and cultures in their authentic state.
