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!read more

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".read more

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!read more

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.

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 clients' confidentiality and ensure that they have full control over the dissemination of their images. Discussions about privacy preferences are held during consultations and reveal sessions, ensuring my clients feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.

  7. Seamless Booking Process:

    From the very first consultation to the final moment when my clients are able to see their images for the first time, my aim is for it to be a straightforward and stress-free process for them. I will lead them through every step of the way, from booking a session date to finding their favourite images to be printed or put into a digital gallery. Customer service is my top priority, and my clients will always receive personal attention and care.

  8. Rave Reviews from Satisfied Clients:

    I’m flattered by the positive feedback from my many happy customers. Mary appreciated my openness and willingness to go the extra mile to create something different and unique. Patty was happy that she looked like herself in every photo. Jubel loved the fun props and sets I acquired for their family shoot. All these testimonials demonstrate how I put in extra effort to transcend my client’s expectations in delivering quality work.

That’s a Wrap

If you’re looking for the pinnacle of elegance, authenticity, and vintage-inspired beauty to capture life’s fleeting moments, then you’ll want to make Kelly Tareski Photography your first call the next time you need to have a portrait session. I offer a wide variety of packages to choose from, with a warm, natural photography style, beautiful studio locations, and personalized service to make sure every story is told with thoughtfulness, artistry and grace.

    We have had several photoshoots with Kelly. Always fun, professional, and quick. It's important for our sessions to be quick with 4 young kids. We are always surprised how seamless the shoots are. You can tell they are well thought out ahead of time. She is always willing to try some poses we had in mind. Very accommodating. Very professional. She will be our photographer of choice until....forever. 🙂

From casual settings, business professional to romantic boudoir she’s got the eye and talent to make you look like your photos belong on a magazine cover! To top it all off, she’s a lot of fun during the shoot. She makes it seem effortless and streamlined. You’re busy having so much that you don’t even realize that she’s shooting photos and the next thing you know, you’re done. Her presentation of your reveal is top notch and again fun! She makes this process easy for you and there’s no pressure. You can take your time and review your photos and ask questions. You’ll NEVER be disappointed with Kelly and Kelly Tareski Photography!

    Kelly Tareski is outstanding. She has an amazing creative eye for taking wonderful shots and also makes her clients feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. We booked Kelly for personal and business photos and she magically crafted a wonderful shoot to get all of the shots we needed and much more. The gallery review is equally amazing when she creates a personal video highlighting the gallery of photos. I was taken by the whole process and now have photos to boost our business and support my personal work. The best part is how thrilled my family was with their Christmas gifts!

  • Kelly is Incredible. The comfort of her studio. Professional Attitude and bringing the camera to life in front of me was Amazing. The expressions she was able to pull out of my face and body was priceless. I can wait to reveal my memory book to my hubby . I am looking forward to doing a couples session 💕👏

  • I enjoyed every aspect of our time with Kelly. She was very warm and inviting, but very professional as well. Her venues are outstanding. When we saw our daughter’s senior portraits, we could not have been happier. Awesome experience. I look forward to working with her again for capturing more of our family’s memories.

    Well it's been 2 months since Kelly completed the photo shoot of our now 15 year old daughter and I am just now getting around to writing a review! I am more amazed each time I look at the photos that she did. Her ability to create images that last a lifetime are an understatement. She has photographed our family for years at different times and for different reasons and we are always over the top impressed with the creativity and results. I would highly recommend her services for family photos, weddings, graduations, and anything you would like to have a permanent lasting memory of.

    We first had Kelly do our family photos when it was just my husband and I and of course our 4 dogs. She was so accommodating to the craziness that took place with our four dogs. My husband and I had a blast taking pictures with her, she made it such a fun experience that it felt like a date between me and Kyle. She has so much patience! Getting all my dogs to look and stay felt daunting to me but she kept reassuring me that it would be great. Then we had been blessed to have her take my maternity pictures. When I felt so uncomfortable and not confident in my body she turned it into a day I will never forget. She made it magical and special. I remember thinking how awesome she was to get into the cold lake to get the perfect shot of me in the water. She even understood that I didn't want any bare belly photos and respected my decision but encouraged me to try one just so I would not have any regrets. I wish I still lived in Washington state just so I could have her continuing to take my family and all special occasion photos. I highly recommend her and LOVE her talented work! She is a natural at what she does and makes it an amazing experience for you and all involved.

    Wow!!! What a phenomenal photographer!! We have had family portraits done twice with Kelly, and we will continue to hire her as much as we can. She came highly recommended to us after she shot the family photos and wedding portraits of other family members. She is warm and inviting while maintaining a professional yet casual atmosphere. It was that friendly and warm atmosphere that put our family at ease and made the time fly! Kelly is both a phenomenal artist as well as one of the most loving and passionate people I know. We are forever grateful for the stunning photos and appreciative of her artistry the way she managed to capture our whole family!!

    Kelly Tareski Photography did our daughter’s senior pictures and our family pictures including our fur-babies. Kelly’s attention to details and interest in your wishes is such a value during any photo shoot session. She really brings out your best in her work and pictures. She also likes to have fun! I loved Kelly’s sneak peek at pictures shortly after the session. The Senior picture reveal session is so amazing! (Made me cry) A video showing a selected collection of pictures is high quality and very professional. Afterwards you are given the opportunity to view all photos and select your package(s).

    Kelly is passionate about her craft, and was genuinely excited to be working with my almost-15 yr old daughter during a recent teen shoot. She had an easy way of interacting with my daughter that put her at ease in front of the camera. The whole shoot was fun, relaxed, and filled with lots of laughter and silliness. The result was some great natural expressions as well as stunning posed shots. I am so impressed with Kelly's ability to put out amazing pictures and her editing ability in the studio then turns those into works of art. Personally, ages 14 and 15 were particularly hard years. It is a time of transition that comes with body changes, hormones, trying to fit in while maintaining individuality, and nearing a time of adulthood but before the age of complete independence. At that age girls are so beautiful but often feel awkward and out of place. This shoot made my daughter feel special, pampered, and beautiful from start to finish. My whole family is amazed looking through the completed photos and my daughter got a huge boost of confidence!

    Kelly was a joy to work with. My nervousness was on many levels and she made the session fun and took all my concerns away.

    Absolutely, Positively the best experience EVER!! From start to finish everything was just Perfect. Our family recommends Kelly Tareski Photography to everyone. If you don't go to Kelly than you have just missed out!! We will never go any where else. The communication was top notch. It just doesn't get any better!! I could rave and go on and on but you have to experience it for yourself. We had so much fun for our daughters Senior pictures. We would go back every weekend if we could to get pictures taken. I loved it as a parent because Kelly included me to help and I loved being able to take pictures with the Polaroid camera Kelly provided. The in house hair and makeup was fabulous. My daughter felt like a star. She was so pampered. A huge shout out to Cameron for being so incredible and talented. For my daughters Senior year this experience will always be one of her favorite memories and mine!! I look forward to all the years ahead with Kelly & Monte Tareski to capture all of my families memories and milestones!! Thank you for the Best Experience EVER!! 5 STARS IS NOT ENOUGH. Kelly Tareski Photography deserves them all!! Tracey, Chuck & Heather Knight

    AMAZING! I had a lovely photo shoot with Kelly, and she made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and beautiful. Her work is phenomenal...I cannot express how happy I am with the portraits. They made a lovely birthday gift for my husband. 😉 I highly recommend Kelly! I'm planning another photo shoot in the near future, and I wouldn't hire anyone else but her.

    I recently got my senior pictures done with Kelly and I could not be happier. The whole experience was way better than I ever could have hoped for. Kelly and her crew are such sweet people and throughout the process made me feel welcomed and comfortable especially at the photoshoot. Thank you all so much for an incredible experience I will never forget!

    Love this photographers work! All of the natural different backdrops and all of the love her husband put in with creating them.

  • Kelly Tareski Photography is always looking for ways to improve the overall experience of each client on an individual basis. She focuses on the little details from when the client approaches the studio for the first time by creating a calming environment to settle those nerves of getting your picture taken, to the end of the photo session by having cool water and snacks to energize for your ride home. Not only does she go above to focus on the client but she also caters to the clients entorouge as well by making them feel welcome and at home. Kelly is an exceptional photographer who takes pride in every shot but treats every final image as a true piece of art.

    We had a fun time & great experience having senior pictures done. Enjoyed the fantastic settings & relaxed atmosphere. We were making memories while capturing memories 😉 Love the album we purchased with 20 mounted prints, very nice. A treasure indeed!

  • Kelly is not only an amazing person but she is an outstanding photographer. She displays remarkable creativity in her work. She quickly establishes a relationship with people and then is able to capture their unique individuality in her photos. We had a wonderful experience working with Kelly. And we look forward to future sessions for family photos. Thanks again Kelly!

    I had my grandchildren's photos done by Kelly, she showed so much patience with the girls who are 2 and 3 & weren't the easiest to work with. Kelly made sure she got the best shots with a lot of laughter in the mix. I am beyond happy with the work!

    Kelly was an absolute gem to work with. She made my daughter feel at ease and so comfortable. Her talent far outweighed our expectations. The abundance of onsite sets at her location allows for an infinite number of unique photographs to fit anyone's style and taste. My daughter and I had a blast working with Kelly and we can't wait to meet with her again soon!

    Would I recommend Kelly Tareski Photography? Absolutely!!! I am one of those clients that are not comfortable smiling in front of the camera. Kelly's patience and positive reinforcements made all the difference in turning the shoot into not only a fun experience but one with a rewarding outcome. I loved how my photos turned out and I am looking forward to another photo shoot in the future. If you are looking for a talented and genuine photographer look no further. Kelly is your photographer.

  • I've had the pleasure of having Kelly do several different kinds of photo shoots for me over the last couple of years. She is by far the most talented and creative photographer I've ever worked with! Her ideas and props are fresh, inventive and fun! I have a couple of shoots planned with her this summer, each one will be a different type of shoot, and I know that we will have a lot of laughs during our time together and as a result, I will have some amazing memories to hang on my walls! KELLY IS SIMPLELY AMAZING, PROFESSIONAL & THE ONLY PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WILL EVER NEED!!
