About Your Photographer
Hi there! I'm Tara, a self-taught photographer looking to capture your life's stories by way of photography. I’m a newer face in the photography scene, bringing in new, fresh ideas, loving every minute of what I do. With a continued education in photography and photo editing via seminars and photography meet-ups on a weekly basis, I’m steadily improving my skills. I'm a Georgia native now living in the wonderful wintry state of Wisconsin. I'm a former Army wife with a strong and fun personality (having made it through 2 deployments), and I'm a mother of 3 beautiful American Bulldogs. I’m a member of the local Janesville Camera Club, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP), Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI), Society of Sport and Event Photographers (SEP), and Professional Photographers of America (PPA).
I love the opportunities life affords me as a photographer; in just a few snapshots, I'm able to capture those brief, special moments in your life, that'll be treasured for years to come. I love how happy clients get when they see their images from their shoot/their special day. My clients are the reason I enjoy the work I do. I find that in this profession, having a true relationship with your clients is the only way to do business.

Not only do I love photography opportunities, I LOVE networking! Networking opportunities with other business owners or others in general are great. You never know what you'll learn from others you encounter throughout life, so why not network everywhere you go. Introduce yourself to a stranger, and put a smile on their face. You never know when your kind words could help or inspire another!
"If you're not networking, you're not living!" -Tara Pivotto
