Photography allows me to study people. My test is the portrait.

When was the last time you looked at yourself clearly?

Watching you with a loaded camera is like studying the world through a magnifying glass.

It. Is. Incredible. Taking the shot is hard to do, because it’s film and film is expensive and I’ve always been frugal. Sometimes I can’t breathe in that space between past, present and future. If I do, it’ll mess things up. I’m overwhelmed with opportunity and purpose. I get paid to see you. I have power when you walk into my door to get your portrait made. I use it to help you gain clarity in your own life. You must be able to see yourself in order to live your best life. AND in order to make this world a better place. We find a space close to natural light and visit and laugh and sometimes hold our breath.

I don’t need words to hear your truth. I hear it when you keep your eyes open. 

We are looking at ourselves when we take the time to really see each other.

There is no post production. No computer work. What I saw during that entire split second is what you get on film. To enlarge a photograph on fiber paper, we use water, a stop bath, fixer, an easel, pins, a timer, a glossy finish and a VERY dark room.

“I was really happy and surprised at how raw and intimate my photos were. 

Senior photos are so often staged and look very post-cardy and cheesy, but the photos Tasha took were not like this at all. Mine are super special and beautiful.”

L.B. Lincoln High graduate (2020).
