It’s been months of dreaming, designing, and planning — and now, it’s officially here.

Welcome to the new home of Tara Lee Photography: a warm, light-filled studio in Glen Carbon, IL, created for families, babies, and brands to tell their stories.

Bright and airy walk-in closet with gray wood flooring, white built-in shelving, and organized clothing storage.
Neatly folded cozy knit blankets and throws in neutral beige and cream colors organized in a white drawer.
White storage cubes with drawers arranged in a row along a wall create an organized retail display space.

When I started this business, I never imagined how far it would grow — or that one day, I’d walk into my own studio, coffee in hand, ready to create in a space that feels 100% me.


This studio was built with comfort and connection in mind. It’s where sleepy newborns are swaddled, families laugh their way through the chaos, and business owners step confidently into their next chapter.


You’ll find:

📸 Soft natural light that flatters every subject

🖤 Neutral tones and cozy textures to match any look

☕ A comfortable, welcoming space where you can just be


This is more than a studio — it’s a space for stories.

And I can’t wait to capture yours here.


✨ Now booking newborns, milestones, and branding sessions in the new studio!
