Very pleased with my head shots taken with Kelly! I needed author photos for a new book coming out, and Kelly made it happen in her fabulous wildflower garden. I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend her photography service.

Kelly is such an amazing photographer- she has a great eye for capturing the perfect look and mood. With several studio options, there's a setting for anyone. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease that my photos turned out beautifully... it also helps that Kelly has a keen eye for detail. I would HIGHLY recommend her if you're looking for a great experience and fabulous photos!

Kelly took what I thought was impossible and made it possible. In today's digital world, having photos of yourself is a must. I did not want to hide my face any longer; I wanted to be seen and known. Kelly took the time to get to know me, which allowed her to create unique photos that revealed who I am, taking away the fear of displaying my image for the world to see. She is the best!

I had an amazing photo shoot experience with Kelly Tareski in her Spokane studio in mid-October. Both Kelly and her talented hair and makeup artist, Daniela from MariposaAesthetics, made me feel incredibly calm and confident. I'm eager to work with these talented ladies again!

Kelly has done both of our daughter's senior photos. We loved everything from booking to picking up our photos! Both of my girls did the hair and makeup and loved being pampered before their shoot. Kelly was so flexible and fun to work with and did a great job capturing their personalities. Also, the venue is absolutely beautiful!

I have always hated having my picture taken, because of how I saw myself. Kelly changed that limiting self-perception because of the individual care she took with me to make sure she captured what I wanted to say with my photos. Her inside and outside studios are uniquely designed so that I had numerous choices to portray not only my outer image but my inner soul as well. She is a delight to work with! She captured exactly what I imagined. I liked every photo, which sounds unbelievable. Thank you, Kelly, for the gift of you and your expertise. I can't wait for my summer photo session! With Deep Gratitude, Patty!

Over the past 10 years, Kelly has been my go to photographer for all my headshot, portrait and family session needs. I like how her studio is on over 5 acres of land and she is always expanding and modifying her venues to create new and unique shooting areas. From the Country/Western Barn doors with the vintage horse trailer, to the Modern Industrial setting, my favorite is 1949 Old Blue Ford in the field. There is also a Vineyard and Tuscany Garden for that Italian or Bohemian look and an old Cabin for more personal portraits. Kelly's photography style and editing style always amazes me by creating timeless wall art that I know my grandchildren will be able to enjoy without feeling like they are looking at "old pictures".

I found Kelly by looking online for a photoshoot for my ten year anniversary. Out of all the other options, something drew me to Kelly's business. I called for a free consultation and had an appointment within a day. I met Kelly at her beautiful property and discussed a Be Your Own Beautiful session. I waited until almost the last minute but Kelly put everything together for me and I was in studio the next week.

The Be Your Own Beautiful package was amazing! Hair and makeup was included in my package and made the event even more special. Kelly made me completely comfortable and encouraging with the most professionalism I could imagine. The encouragement from her during the shoot made my photos come out even better than I could have ever imagined.

Kelly's eye for creativity and looks is amazing. She can incorporate just about anything in one way or another. Her property is set up with so many indoor and outdoor options for pictures all year round. Everywhere is another option, prop, or piece of art which can be used or incorporated into the shoot.

My family just completed our Christmas pictures as well and are in love with them. My toddler was difficult and Kelly went above and beyond to make sure she could capture amazing photos. I foresee Kelly watching Mt family through her lens for years to come.

I truly can't thank her enough for everything and I highly recommend ANY woman to contact Kelly for a Be Your Own Beautiful session. You will not regret it!

I took my senior pictures with Kelly, and to say I was so happy with these is an understatement. The pictures turned out better than I could ever imagine, and the whole process with hair, makeup and taking the pictures was so amazing! She has so many beautiful options to take pictures at, and I felt very comfortable the whole time. I will definitely be going back if I ever need pictures taken for any event!

Words cant express how happy we are with our daughters senior pictures. Kelly was an absolute joy to work with. The studio grounds were breathtaking. She and her grew have put a lot of time and energy into the space making for a ton of different picture ideas. Kelly's relaxed approach made it very comfortable for my daughter she enjoyed the experience. She really loved the changing room. I can't wait to use her again for family photos. Highly satisfied.

In a day and age where professional photographers seem to be everywhere, Kelly Tareski rises above and beyond. She is constantly perfecting her craft with new sets, new props, an innate eye for lighting, and advanced editing skills. Maybe most importantly, she makes every client feel uniquely comfortable and photogenic! She truly believes every individual is beautiful and always has a way of capturing that beauty in a still image. Book a session with Kelly and you wont be disappointed. I am someone who always feels nervous to have my photo taken, and every session with Kelly has left me feeling like I didnt want it to end!

Kelly is an amazing photographer! I met her about a year ago to do a boudoir shoot and she has been my go-to ever since. She recently did my maternity pictures and the sneak peak blew me away. Kelly is patient, kind, funny and lots of fun to shoot with. Her property, where she shoots at, is absolutely stunning. She has so many different styles to choose from and she has endless ideas about what would work. Kelly is the best there is!

Preserving Life's Precious Moments: Why Choose Kelly Tareski Photography for Your Next Portrait Session

As the founder and lead photographer of Kelly Tareski Photography, I've dedicated over two decades to freezing life's most cherished moments through my lens. With an associate-level accreditation from the esteemed Portrait Masters, I bring a wealth of experience, expertise, and heartfelt passion to each portrait session. Let me share why choosing Kelly Tareski Photography will ensure your next portrait experience is nothing short of magical.

  1. A Diverse Array of Portrait Sessions:

    From capturing the vibrant spirit of high school seniors to immortalizing the bond of family and the innocence of newborns, my portfolio spans a wide spectrum of portrait sessions. Whether it's intimate boudoir photography, legacy portraits that honor cherished memories, or professional branding and headshot sessions, I pride myself on offering something for everyone.

  2. Vintage, Warm, and Natural Photography Style:

    My style of shooting incorporates that timeless beauty you’d expect from an old family album: warm, inviting, and full of classic, romantic feeling and simplicity. I strive to curate images that seem to have taken themselves – ones where genuine laughter abounds and hushed whispers of delight and wonder are seen, not heard. I seek to create images that you’ll enjoy for generations to come.

  3. Creating a Relaxed and Comfortable Environment:

    I put a premium on building rapport and earning my clients’ trust. Before each session, I take time to talk to my clients, make sure they feel comfortable in front of the camera, and feel confident doing whatever they are doing. I want my clients to be themselves. When I am able to provide that level of support and encouragement, the photographs reflect my clients as they are, no further and no less.

  4. Stunning Studio Spaces and Outdoor Locations:

    With a five-acre studio space nestled amidst gardens, vintage venues, and an authentic vineyard, my clients have access to a plethora of picturesque backdrops. Additionally, I offer five distinct indoor studios, each offering its own ambiance and charm. Clients are welcome to suggest outside locations, allowing for endless possibilities to capture their vision.

  5. Customizable Packages and Special Requests:

    With Kelly Tareski Photography, no two portrait sessions are alike. I recognize that each session must approach its clients individually so that they can receive the experience they desire. I bring my client's vision to life through client-directed concepts and creative collaboration while designing the perfect storyline and portraying your vision through a camera lens.

  6. Emphasis on Privacy and Safety:

    Privacy and safety are of utmost importance to me. I respect my client
