Talea is the baby whisperer! We absolutely loved our newborn photo session. She was so sweet and patient with our little one, and the whole experience was relaxed and stress-free. The pictures turned out even better than we could have imagined, and we'll cherish them forever. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful newborn photos!

Talea and her husband came and stayed at our property and took AMAZING photos and videos -- it takes a special kind of talent to actually INSPIRE a property owner with pictures taken of their own property-- and Talea certainly has that special kind of talent!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Talea! We recently had generational family pictures taken on our family property, and the entire experience was so special. These are memories we will cherish for generations to come, and Talea captured them so beautifully! From beginning to end, she was absolutely amazing to work with. Coordinating pictures with a large family and several generations isn’t always easy, but Talea made everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. She was so patient, kind, and genuinely wonderful with everyone.
What impressed me the most was how incredible she was with my grandson. He started the session not wanting anything to do with having his picture taken, but by the time we finished, Talea had become his new best friend! He was even telling us he wanted to be a photographer just like her! That alone speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. ❤️ The pictures turned out absolutely beautiful, but what makes them even more special is the experience we had creating them. Having multiple generations together on our family property means more to me than words can express, and I am so thankful Talea was the one to capture these precious moments.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also has a heart for people and families, I cannot recommend Talea enough! She deserves every one of these five stars and more! ❤️

We got recommended to do a model call, so we last minute did photos with her. I am so glad to have discovered her this way! She had coordinating outfits already planned and picked out for us, and a full closet incase we didn’t like what she chose. She was SO accommodating with our two year old. Toys and snacks on deck! She even captured lots of smiling pictures of him even though he does not like getting his picture taken. She was amazing with our newborn as well and his pictures turned out absolutely precious! It was our first visit there and she made us all feel so comfortable and like we’ve always known each other.

We have had a fabulous experience working with Talea for over 2 years now. Her special eye to capture beauty is remarkable. She always over delivers in what we are expecting, and is just a pleasure to work with in telling our story at Piney River Resort.
Very Highly recommend.

We’ve worked with Talea from Reflections by Talea for all of our daughter’s milestone photos—from newborn to 7 months in her studio, and now for her 15-month session at a beautiful local park. Every experience has been nothing short of amazing. Talea made the entire process effortless, coming fully prepared with multiple outfits and making sure we felt at ease throughout the session. Her ability to capture natural, precious moments is truly a gift, and the photos turned out breathtaking. From the stunning scenery to the perfect lighting, every shot was exactly what we had hoped for. Talea is our go-to photographer for capturing these special memories, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for timeless family photos!
