ABOUT

Tara Snyder Black and White Film Portrait in Northern Michigan

With over ten years of professional experience, I bring a thoughtful, artful eye and an intuitive, documentary approach to the stories I photograph. Based in Northern Michigan, my work is inspired by natural light, the quiet beauty of the Midwest, and the meaningful details that often go unnoticed. Rooted in honesty and presence, my approach blends documentary storytelling with an editorial sensibility —creating imagery that feels effortless and deeply personal. I focus on what feels honest and unguarded — telling stories with intention while preserving the heart of your brand.

My Approach

  • Connect & Discover

    I start by learning your story, vision, or goals — what matters most and what you want your imagery to communicate.

  • Plan & Prepare

    From locations and styling to lighting and mood, every detail is considered so your shoot feels cohesive, intentional, and ready to capture what matters.

  • Create with Intention

    During the session, I focus on moments that feel authentic and alive — whether it’s a brand, product, editorial project, or personal memory.

  • Deliver & Preserve

    Final images are thoughtfully curated and edited — designed to preserve your story, vision, and the moments that matter most.
