T Lohse Photography bio picture

t lohse photography {the blog}

My name is Tara Lohse and I love photography! I currently live in North Carolina, but I was born and raised on the Florida coast.  I graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Studio Art, I love art and the ability to express myself through painting, photography and sculpture.  I am married and love life, travel, and taking pictures.

Photography is my favorite art form because I can capture a moment that brings out the warmth, love, and emotion in people’s lives.  I enjoy all phases of the photography shoot—planning the day, working with people, taking the shots, editing the images, and sending out the final product.  My goal is to catch those special moments that define a marriage, parenthood, and the excitement of living life. Although I reside in North Carolina, I will travel to any destination for your special day.
