"We were looking for someone who could write our monthly blogs for our website/social media and Tara was great to work with from the off. Really friendly, had great communication, and was very transparent. We've had one blog completed so far and it was excellent. Her research was on point and it was written in a very easy-to-understand format, as well as being engaging and informative. We're looking forward to working with her again over the coming months.

"We recently had our professional photos taken by Tara Lemana from our Kapiti Group. I was totally freaking out about it, and kept putting it off. I have to say though, that I am so pleased I finally did it!

Tara was AMAZING, she told me exactly what to do and made me feel at ease.

I always see the photos of women with no double chins, glowing skin, & looking amazing, and thought there was no way that even a professional & experienced photographer could make me look like that - well Tara did!!! I am sooo happy with the photos.

I 100% recommend Tara Lemana Portraiture - Kapiti Coast and Wellington Photographer" - Lucy Ambrose-Segetin, Manage My Marketing, Venus Kapiti member

"Tara is an absolute natural. She's born to do what she does. She cares about her clients and understands the pain we go through when exposing ourselves to the world through photos.

Tara made me feel at ease and brought out the best in me.

Headshots are very personal, so they need to reflect your own personality and style. She keeps things fresh and relaxed capturing your best side!

I'm due to update mine again soon, because as we change, so should our shots. I can't wait to call Tara again... soon when my business allows me time... to do it all over again.

Thanks Tara. I rate you and recommend you to anyone I can." - Steph Bradley, Tall Poppy Real Estate, Venus Kapiti member

"“I'm very self-conscious about the fact that things that look good on other people - clothing, makeup, poses - don't look right on me. Tara seemed to immediately see who we are, and not once did I feel like we were doing things because they would look good in photos. Our session was authentic and Tara rolled with the constant changes of mind and our pictures capture our beautiful family as I see us. So, so, in love with our results.” – Shannon Hughes, Kapiti

"We had so much fun at our family shoot and got some awesome photos that we will cherish forever. Whereas our one year old was not camera shy at all and duly did his cute face on demand our nearly four year old has always been a nightmare with ‘posed’ sessions. Documenting a few hours of our life, was the perfect way to capture the essence of our girl, doing all the things she loves. We can’t wait to put our favourites on the wall!" - Andrea & Amanda Corrigan, Kapiti

"Tara is fantastic. From the minute we met her she made our family feel at ease. She is a natural behind the camera and has the ability to capture great shots whilst making you feel comfortable and relaxed. We are thrilled with the final product and highly recommend Tara if you are looking to capture memories that represent who your family are." - Liz Polley, Masterton

"I had spoken to many photographers and Tara just has a way to make you feel comfortable. I am so happy with the beautiful photos. They are amazing. What was even better though was the session that felt like an afternoon of pampering. The makeup artist was incredible and Tara made me feel really comfortable. Holding the space and reassuring me when i felt only once a little vulnerable moment which she captured beautifully. Loved it and would highly recommend." - Lynda Johnson, Kapiti

"Recently had a special day with Tara and her team, who came and pampered me and took a range of photos that turned out amazing. Tara is so down to earth and friendly, she immediately puts you at ease, and she has the 'eye' for getting amazing shots. It was a fun filled amazing day with results that I will always treasure. The sort of photos you will never regret having done. Thanks so much Tara. Love your work!" - Renee Torrington McDermott, Tawa

My point of difference

Storytelling is my craft, my passion and my super power.

I've been a storyteller all my life. Not just through words, but through songs and photography as well. I have run my own successful photography studio on the Kapiti Coast for over twelve years, and in that time, mastered a very successful Facebook marketing technique that grew my own photography business and that of many mentoring clients exponentially.

My background as a multi disciplinary creative, combined with my thorough understanding of digital marketing techniques, makes me uniquely equipped to help you take your business to the next level by leveling up your copy and content.
