We each sprang from artistic families and have had cameras in our hands since we were little. Those cameras helped us to see the world a little differently. We share a deep passion for creating. It was when a woman we photographed said to us through happy tears, “Thank you for making me feel beautiful” that the In Her Image seed was planted.
We hail from very different places: Heidi from Melbourne, Australia and Tara from Oakland, California. Once you experience a session with us, you won't be surprised to learn that Heidi has an extensive theater background, allowing her to give fun and easy direction to our clients. Tara spent many years doing media education, teaching young people to be aware of how women are portrayed in images. It's not a coincidence - this thing we do.
When we are not photographing you, Heidi is playing in the garden or baking yummy vegan treats. Tara is a potter, painter, and overall creator and can often be found on the floor snuggling with our beloved house bunny. We live in beautiful rural Petaluma, where we are surrounded by nature and a menagerie of wildlife. We are inspired by our environment and all the curiosity it brings.
We believe that work should be fulfilling on all levels, and are grateful every day that we have the opportunity to manifest that for ourselves.
We also believe that kindness and compassion can change the world.
In Her Image Photography is not only our business; it's our mission.
We are Heidi and Tara, and we can’t wait to meet you.
