Thinking of something extra special as a Christmas present for my wife, I explored a formal…read morephotography session to celebrate our ongoing love affair. After reading reviews, exploring photographer websites for samples of their work and asking around town, I decided on TARA RUDY Photography. I walked into her studio not sure what to expect. She greeted me with a smile and gave me the Cook's tour of her studio. She was personable and professional. I purchased a sitting and a canvas frame. Sitting here deciding which picture to choose for the canvas portrait, we are gobsmacked by how good Tara's photography made us LOOK. More importantly, during the photography session, Tara made both of us FEEL relaxed and she moved us around her studios for shots in different kinds of light. My wife was so overcome by the feeling of Tara's care that she started crying. Tara created a wonderful vibe, magical even. We had the screening yesterday, and her method of helping us find the best batch to choose from was both purposeful and playful. She offered guidance on what each frame said to her, but made it clear that our choices should be given far more weight than hers. So here we sit, wrestling with about a dozen outstanding photographs deciding which to choose for the main portrait and what else to keep and share with family and friends. Thanks to Tara's skill, we are in a delightful predicament. If you are in a relationship with someone wonderful, whether it is a new relationship or you've been together for several years, a portrait done by TARA RUDY is a gift that is unique and memorable. It's like an exclamation point and the end of a message that says, "This is how much I love you!"

She offered no suggestions on setting him in interesting poses. We chose 7 poses, only got CD w pics which she would not clean up, charged $600 for no printed pics. Do not recommend her for any photo sessions!
