Hey there, I’m Tara Ritchie (She/Her)
I am a Boudoir and Portrait Photographer working and living in Tampa, Florida.
A NOTE FROM TARA…
Hello and welcome! I am so glad that you are here! If you are curious about who I am and what I do, here’s a little about me and my work. I grew up in South Florida, I am a Pisces sun and moon, and Leo ascending. I am a mother, a partner, and pet parent to two kitties and a Pittie. I have been taking pictures since I was really young (I’m talking elementary school age!) I am mostly self-taught, though I did attend art and film classes in both high school and college. I started with 35mm film on my father’s vintage camera equipment, that I still have! While I absolutely love the convenience of digital format cameras, which is what I shoot on primarily now- my roots are in film. You’ll find that the work that I produce is substantially influenced by it.
I am an INFP-T and an empath by nature, who is guided by connection, intimacy and vulnerability in my work. I love photographing people from all walks of life, and believe that everyone deserves to have an amazing portrait experience. I am motivated to create an environment for each of my clients, where YOU are celebrated and honored for who YOU are.
I hope to connect with you soon, to be part of your journey, and share your story through visual art.
With love,
Tara
