Meet the Photographer
Hey, my name is Tara
Creativity has always been part of who I am—through art, music, dance, and now photography. Lumen & Lace began as a spark of curiosity and a desire to create something meaningful. I grew up with a camera in hand, and returning to photography as an adult brought back that same sense of wonder.
I’m inspired by people—their softness, their energy, their quiet magic—and I love turning those moments into something whimsical and timeless. Whether it’s a gentle portrait, a joyful couple session, or one day a full wedding celebration, I’m here to capture connection in its most honest form.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."
Aaron Siskind
I believe in creating through trust and tender curiosity.
My philosophy
To me photography is the practice of paying attention. It’s a way of honouring small moments, letting light speak, and recognising the quiet truth inside ordinary things. It invites a slower way of seeing, where the familiar becomes surprising and the overlooked becomes meaningful. Each frame is a small act of noticing—an acknowledgement that something in front of you is worth pausing for, worth holding on to, worth remembering. In that pause, the world reveals itself with a little more honesty, and you get to translate that honesty into an image that feels alive.
