With over 10 years of experience, I focus on creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience from start to finish.Sessions are thoughtfully planned, locations are selected for beautiful light and scenery, and every detail is designed to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Choosing a photographer whose style you love—and who will make this experience truly memorable—is so important. I invite you to learn more about what it’s like to work with Shutter Canyon.
Professional Portrait Sessions with Superior Personal Service by the Premier Senior Portrait Photographer
Senior Portrait Sessions
Senior year is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a milestone worth celebrating. Your senior year deserves more than just photos. My senior sessions are designed to create a confident, editorial portrait experience.
As the Premier Senior Photographer in Puyallup, it’s my privilege to capture who they are at this moment.
Family Portrait Sessions
The best family photos capture more than faces — they capture the love, laughter, and connection you share. My sessions are relaxed and easygoing, designed to bring out those genuine moments that make your family who you are. Whether we’re photographing in Puyallup, Tacoma, or Gig Harbor, you’ll walk away with images that feel real and full of heart.
Serving families and seniors throughout the south sound
Tara Giles Photography proudly photographs seniors and families throughout: Puyallup, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Bonney Lake, Sumner, South Hill, Auburn, and surrounding Washington communities.
Headshot and Brand Photography
Every business has a story. I’ll help you capture images that show the heart and personality behind it. From Puyallup to Tacoma and Gig Harbor, these sessions are designed to help you stand out and make a lasting impression online. Whether you need updated headshots, team photos, lifestyle content, or images that reflect what makes your brand unique, we’ll create photos that look authentic, polished, and full of personality — so you can show up online with confidence and purpose.
"We believe that having photos printed and displayed in your home is important."
Digitals and Prints:
Digital images matter—and they’re included with every collection.
But your photos deserve more than being stored on a device and forgotten. Digital files can get misplaced or become difficult to access down the road. Your images should be seen, held, and enjoyed.
That’s why every senior and family collection at Tara Giles Photography comes with professionally edited, high-resolution digitals and beautifully crafted printed products. From keepsake gift prints to albums and wall art, your portraits are delivered in formats you can share, display, and treasure for years.
Senior and family portrait sessions by Tara Giles are available throughout the South Sound, including:
Puyallup, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Bonney Lake, Sumner, Auburn, Federal Way
