Every October feels like a fresh start — cooler air, warmer coffee, and the rush of families ready to update their photos before the year slips away.


But this fall feels a little extra special… because it’s official — Tara Lee Photography now has a studio! 🥳


You can find me at:

📍 6A Gled Ed Professional Park, Glen Carbon, IL 62034

(beneath Sylvan Learning Center!)

The Studio



This space has been months in the making — lots of hard work, late nights, planning, painting, dreaming, and honestly, a few tears. But stepping into this studio feels like coming home to a new chapter.


It’s bright, cozy, and full of heart — the kind of place where I hope families feel welcomed, calm, and free to just be. Whether it’s a newborn session, milestone, or family portraits, this space was designed to capture connection and warmth in a way that feels effortless.


And as always — fall family photos are my favorite reminder that time is flying by faster than we think. These sessions aren’t just about what you’re wearing or the perfect smile… they’re about freezing the feeling of your family right now.

So as I hang the last few frames and unpack boxes, I can’t help but feel grateful. For the clients who trust me, the stories I get to tell, and the new memories waiting to be created in this space.


If you’ve been thinking about booking a session — this is your nudge. Come see the new studio, grab a coffee, and let’s make something beautiful. 🖤
