The Session Experience

Child-led photo sessions just mean we go with the flow of YOUR family, pets, & kids!  Instead of prepping for just props, locations, and lighting... I also prep activities based on things your family enjoys.  So that may look like s-mores around the campfire, music & dancing in the open field, going on a bug hunt, playing hide and seek, having a water balloon fight, jumping in muddy puddles, or simply snuggling on a blanket.  

If your one year old doesn't want to sit and eat their cake, we will splash in a bucket of bubbles or simply snuggle with mom.  If you toddler wants to only run away,  than we will follow.  If you big kids want to bring along something they love, and we can incorporate it into photos... than we will!

No problem at all! I want you to get exactly what you want. The most important decision to make right now is to simply lock me in for your photo session. Bookings are first-come, first-served. Make sure to get your day reserved on my calendar ASAP.

Want Some Heirloom Art?

Creating your happy moments into visual art makes me happy!  I love using my artist's eye to create one of a kind custom art for your home.  Any physical product ordered larger than 11 x 14 in size comes with a complimentary fine art edit, but if you want a digital fine art edit done to your favorite image, I can do that too.   Just hover/tap over the the image here and see what this fine art edit looked like as a soft proof (of the digital file you receive in the above digital packages)

Tarah is the pinnacle of photojournalist AND lifestyle photography! She has this eye for light and color that create true art. We moved away from KC two years ago and we go back each year because no one else can get photos that I want hung all over my home and on my Christmas card. Her edits are always so tasteful and lovely. If you’re looking for stuffy, posed photos, Wildwood is not for you. But if you want shots of your family being authentically themselves, having fun, laughing and loving life, there is no one better.

Outdoor Family Session

Nicole

"My son and I had so much fun at our session last weekend! I am impressed with how dedicated Tarah is to making sure she gets to know her clients and what they hope to capture in the session. The pre and post zoom sessions are fantastic! When I received the proofs I was blown away. So many amazing moments she caught on film that will be treasured forever."

Children's Portrait Session

Mandy

"I recently moved to KC from LA, and am SO thankful I found Wildwood Photography!! I'm not comfortable in front of the camera, and Tarah made myself and my entire family feel so comfortable, have a ton of fun, and get INCREDIBLE shots!! I asked her to do some professional creative shots for my business (I'm a singer) as well as family shots, and she was able to create such gorgeous shots! I'm truly blown away! Best photographer in KC, hands down"

Outdoor Family Session

Caley

Absolutely loved Tarah's ability to capture our family in our first home with our first child who turned one. She blended right in with us and we almost forgot she was there, which led to some truly magical pictures! We will be using Tarah in the future! Her work is amazing!

Documentary Milestone Session

AshleE

"We had such an excellent experience with Tarah and Wildwood Photography. We worked on a commercial project for our company (we are in a separate state), and she delivered all that we requested and more. Tarah is an excellent story teller, as well as a great communicator. She is very organized, has a great response time, and not once did I worry about a single thing. Our photo / video subjects had nothing but dreamy things to say about Tarah, and our project is turning out amazing. I would not hesitate to hire Wildwood Photography again."

Common FAQs

Q: How long have you been a photographer?

A: I first picked up a camera seriously when I was a teenager (35mm film days), and I fell in love with documenting moments and life's story once I had a family and kids that grew and changed waaaay to fast! In 2019 I took it on as a career. So, we're talking 5 years now as a profession. 

Q: do i have to purchase a package?

A: Nope, I want you to purchase what your family will cherish.  If you are into digital files, just purchase those, if you want prints for relatives then you can choose exactly what you want all via your online proofing gallery.  

Q: Do I need to add on the extra discount items right away?

A: The discount only applies if you order the family film or child session upon booking.  You can definitely add on those items at any time, but you would pay the full session fee.  Personally, I highly recommend it. Your kids grow fast, you may as well make the most of it! 

Q: What kind of equipment do you use?

A: This might start getting a bit technical, but I personally use a Canon Mirrorless and with a combo of prime and mirrorless lenses.  I also use a lot of lighting equipment.  I can get into all the details and chat about it for hours, but I will spare you the boring details. If you are a tech lover, we can chat while I shoot!

Q: Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, holiday cards, etc?

A: Totally! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those.  That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence that they are going to look amazing. I also offer a variety of sizes and could find just about anything we can dream up.  Most of this is can be done & ordered right through your online gallery! Want help figuring out what it is you want, or want to order something that you don't see?  Just set up a customized ordering Zoom chat here and we can get all the details figured out!

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

A: Yes, I do! Traditional payments are 100% of the session fee is due at the time of booking (within a week) and the final collection fees are due when you choose to order your products (within your 6 month ordering window). But, if you wanted to do a payment plan, I can create a plan that works best for you. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will make it happen. It's that easy.

Q: what happens if you aren't able to make our photo session?

In the super unlikely event that I am too ill, injured, the weather is crazy, or there's some other emergency, we will reschedule your session.  If I am the reason we reschedule (weather, family emergency, etc), than we will simply find another time that works and there will be no additional fees.  If you cancel you session with less than 2 weeks until our booked event, than you will forfeit your non-refundable deposit.   I will always try and accommodate reschedules for family emergencies, illness, and things that we cannot change. As long as there is open communication and you let me know what is going on in your family right away, we can find a time to reschedule with no loss of funds or additional fees.  You're in good hands. I promise.

Q: How do I book you for my session?

A: Love that question the most! To book me for your session, just let me know what you want included in your custom collection: Simply visit this page to view the open dates in my schedule and start your booking process!
