Are you looking for a funny, fabulous, feisty, and professional photographer to capture your…read moreperfect portrait? If so, I recommend Tara Jones to you with my highest confidence. If you're looking for hum-drum, definitely don't pick her.
Tara did a portrait shoot with me and my wife which I needed for my professional profile. She picked the location, gave us some tips on what to wear, and put us at ease about the process before we even showed up.
But Tara in person was even better. She made us laugh and relax and forget, in the best way, that we were having our photos taken. We had a great time, laughed a lot, and all the while she was capturing all sorts of hidden gems.
And that's probably what sets Tara apart. Granted, I haven't ever had a professional portrait shot before, but what she captured from our time together was something I couldn't have anticipated. I feel like she captured my "best self" on the camera. I was thrilled with the results and I use the photos she took of me on all my most important profession online profiles. And I feel proud of it.
I know that might sound a little weird. Since I rarely feel really great about photos of myself. But she really delivered the goods. And the best part was that I had many options to choose from. She gives you a whole gallery of photos from which you can choose the ones you like best. Then she does subtle touching up to bring it all to another level.
I couldn't be happier with the end product. In fact, the whole process, which I imagined would be kind of awkward and painful, turned out to be fun and enjoyable.
Personally, I think It's natural to be on the fence about something like a portrait. You're not sure if it's really worth the money, time, and effort. So maybe like you, I was on the fence with it for a while.
But let me say now, if you are on the fence like I was, jump off. Tara will deliver the goods. Why, because every time I look online and see the picture of myself that she took, I feel great about it. I don't feel ambivalent at all.
In my opinion, that's the kind of confidence and satisfaction that's worth the money. Because think about it, we all judge each other on first appearances. It's human nature. And now, I feel like whenever I make an important connection online, I've already put my best foot forward. In my opinion, that's priceless.
