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!read more

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!read more

Kelly was professional and took well designed photos. She was friendly and engaging throughout the photography process... however the photograph buying process felt like a trap on many levels. Please read her website carefully before signing on.read more

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!read more

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!!

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.read more

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.read more

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.

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). Her prices are competitive for the work she does in her various studios at her property. She is also willing travel to your location of choice too. Kelly continues to push herself to stay informed of various photo techniques through continued education which shows throughout her work. She also competes in various photography sessions world wide. She participates in photography gallery showings. Her passion in her work is shown through each of her works of art. You will not be disappointed in using Kelly Tareski’s Photography. We highly recommend Kelly! ♥️read more

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!read more

One word to describe my son's senior Photos! AMAZING. Kelly (and shout out to Monte) captured all of the many sides of Conner! The pictures were stunning at the reveal I had to hold back the tears. They were so good. The experience was great for the both of us. We highly recommend Kelly (and Monte her assistant).
