Edwardsville, Illinois Fine Art Newborn Photographer

From Bumps to Brands, and Everything In Between



Real life. Real love. Real light.

This is where the magic lives — a curated collection of sessions that reflect the heart of Tara Lee Photography. I specialize in capturing honest, joy-filled moments through newborn photography, family portraits, milestone sessions, and branding photography in Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, and throughout the Metro East Illinois area.


Whether it’s baby toes wrapped in soft blankets, your wild crew chasing light in a field, or an entrepreneur showing up boldly for her brand — every photo is a celebration of connection and story.


Browse the galleries below to get a feel for my work, my style, and the kinds of moments we’ll capture together.

"I had the absolute best experience working with Tara for my branding shoot! She made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera, which is no small feat! Her energy was amazing, and she truly brought my vision to life. The photos turned out **stunning** and have completely elevated my social media presence. If you need a photographer who makes you feel at ease while capturing your best self, she’s the one!"
