TAZ Photography is Central Minnesota based, but travels wherever love is no matter the destination

Lets Tie the Knot!

Here's What Makes TAZ Photography Different

I offer free consultations and you can do as many as you need! I care about making sure your day is exactly what you envision so I offer you as many free consultations as you need.

No awkward poses here! I keep it real and do more of a lifestyle approach when I photograph. I give you prompts and you and your honey actually move in natural ways so you don't feel awkward in front of my camera.

Not sure who to hire for your other wedding vendors? I offer a 'preferred vendor list' which is composed of other vendors that I've personally worked with and love their work and personality.

I create a custom timeline to fit your needs, coverage, and moments throughout the day.

I care about you! I care about creating a connection and getting to know you. This allows me to create meaningful friendships and take awesome photos of you that are genuine!

Meet Your Personal Hype Girl

Hey! I'm Taryn.

A Minnesota Wedding Photographer

Are you ready to embrace your true self and capture unforgettable moments on camera? Look no further because you've found your personal hype girl! I'm here to guide you in front of my camera so you can go from awkward to comfortable and be your authentic, radiant self.

Embracing Your True Self: It's no secret that the camera lens can be intimidating. The thought of having your own personal, up close paparazzi can make anyone feel self-conscious. But with my direction and your trust in me, you can break through those barriers and unveil the real you.

Your Confidence Booster: I'm not just a photographer; I'm your hype girl! I'm here to boost your confidence, inspire you, and make you feel at ease.

The Power of Authenticity: Authenticity is prevalent in photography. When you feel comfortable and raw in front of the camera, it's easier to capture your true essence. Whether you're a seasoned model or a camera-shy novice, my goal is to help you embrace your unique charm, quirks, and charisma. I want to see your true personality!!

Your Personalized Journey: No two individuals are the same, and neither are their journeys in front of the camera. I tailor my approach to your specific needs, ensuring that you're comfortable and confident in your own skin. Together, we'll create an environment that allows your true self to shine.

Capturing Unforgettable Moments: Once you're comfortable and confident in your own skin, the magic happens. I'll capture the moments that define you – your laughter, your quirks, your passions – all the things that make you, well, you!

Don't let awkwardness in front of the camera hold you back from experiencing incredible moments and capturing cherished memories. Embrace your true self, unleash your charisma, and let's create stunning images that reflect the real you. I'm your personal hype girl, here to guide you every step of the way. Let's embark on this journey together and transform your photography experience into something truly special.

"Absolutely PERFECT! We knew right away we wanted to work with Taryn, and our personalities meshed so well. We really were able to act like ourselves in front of her. We even were making her laugh! Nothing ever felt weird with her behind the camera. All of our photos turned out stunning from our engagement shoot, and I cannot wait to get our wedding photos back!"

Taryn does an amazing job. She makes you feel calm and relaxed even in the hectic moments. She makes sure to check in to see if a break is needed(which we all forgot sometimes.) I am amazed. Our wedding was on a Saturday and I already had a few sneak peeks by Sunday. There isn’t many photographers that can get you pictures back in one day! I couldn’t ask for anything different. If you are looking for an amazing photographer book Taz photography!

We had a wonderful experience with Taryn! She is very sweet and was very good at making us feel comfortable. She worked great with our toddler during our shoot. We loved the way our family photos turned out, and will be definitely going back to her in the future!

Absolutely love working with Taryn! We had the pleasure of doing a quick morning session with our little family and Taryn was so wonderful to work with. Very casual and laid back yet professional and fun with a great eye, she makes the whole experience beautiful without the stress. We’ve worked with some photographers in the past that have strict guidelines and vision for us with little of us in the mix, which gets stressful and staged, but Taryn listened to what we were looking for. She had quite a few ideas for locations and poses, and worked all of her and our ideas into the perfect session. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to working with her in the future.

Taryn was so great to work with. She was helpful, professional and super responsive to our questions and requests! Her website is easy to navigate and makes the business side of things hassle-free. She has a great eye and we love our engagement session photos and the preview of our wedding day photos! Would recommend to anyone :)
