I know how important these memories are.

about me

It's an honour for me to be chosen to capture your little miracle in their tiniest form or show you how beautiful being pregnant truly is. These moments do not happen all over so I thank you for trusting me to capture them. 

...your baby's first photographer

It is a great privilege to be a newborn photographer, serving Calgary families with care and artistry. From capturing gassy little smiles to watching parents’ faces light up in awe, these moments warm my heart time and again.

 

Families have often called me the “baby whisperer,” a gift that inspired me to expand my calling as a birth and postpartum doula; offering gentle support both through my portraits and in those tender transitions from birth into parenthood.

My work has been recognized internationally and honoured with numerous awards, but the greatest joy comes from creating a safe, supported experience for families as they welcome their little one into the world.

Hi, I'm Tamara

so much more than a photographer

Aside from the photographic world I work in, I am also a proud mom.

My husband and I have two beautiful daughters who keep us on our toes and constantly remind us of the magic in everyday moments.

From my adventures in the kitchen to our family holidays in Montana

(and yes, the never-ending laundry piles), I’ve learned to embrace

the chaos with joy and gratitude.

During the spring and summer, you’ll often find me in the garden

or laughing my way through a not-so-perfect round of golf.

On our days off my family and I enjoy gathering with friends and

exploring new places together; from local adventures to international travel.

 

These lived experiences as a mom, photographer, and doula have given me a unique perspective on what it means to truly support families—both in front of my camera and in the tender moments beyond it.
