Hey, my name is Taris Smith-McClain

Taris aims to capture the beauty of the small moments in the world around her. Her goal is to tell stories through her photos. She aims to capture the moments that occur too fast for us to hold on to. While Focusing on varying subjects from sports photography to portraiture, her desire is to create the best experience possible for her clients while putting a little piece of herself into every image.

Taris makes family pictures a breeze! She is flexible, patient, and puts my kids at ease! If you’re looking for a photographer, Taris will make your life, and photos, better. I found my new family photographer, and I’m sure she will be yours now too!

Taris is truly one of a kind across the board. The way she leads with kindness and her expertise in her craft allowed me to feel so comfortable when working with her, and left no doubt in my mind that I would love to work with her again in the future!

Taris took my engagement photos in April 2025 and absolutely knocked it out of the park! I had a unique concept in mind and was nervous about how it would all come together, but she brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. Her creativity, kindness, and insanely fast turnaround time truly set her apart. 10/10 recommend booking with her, she’s the real deal!

Taris is truly amazing! Her creativity and attention to detail made our senior photo session unforgettable. She made sure we got every shot we wanted and created a fun, relaxed experience while doing so. We were blown away by how quickly we got our photos, and even more by how beautiful they turned out. They're still my favorite pictures to this day!
