About Me

As the name of my business suggests, I am Tara Allen. Up until early 2020 I was formerly known as Southern Capture Photography. I am 41 years old. Wow, that sounds so strange. I was 18 yesterday, it seems. I have been married for 19 years to my husband David. We have 3 beautiful children, whom we adore, Sydney, Noah, and Payton, and we live in Sandersville GA. I am published many times which was a huge bucketlist item. I proudly display all the magazines my work has appeared in. I love thunderstorms and Grey's Anatomy, sweet tea and lounging in our pool. I love our fur babies. 3 dogs, 4 cats, and a leopard gecko named Blue. I love laughter and I laugh a lot! I fancy myself a comedian..... I am in love with what I do! Behind the lens is my favorite place to be. I'm mostly self taught. My studio training began when I worked for Olan Mills for 3 years. Since then I have built my own studio. I'm in there every chance I get. I'm skilled at what I do and I want to work with you. From birth photography to graduation and weddings I do a little bit of it all. If I had to pick one aspect of this business to favor greatly it would have to be the people on the other side of my camera. I can honestly say I love my clients and so many of them have gone on to be genuine friends. I'm very flexible and when you're with me, you're always getting my very best.
