Hey, i'm Talea!
I'm the face behind Reflections By Talea Photography and this is my crew! I am a momma to 2 amazing boys, a wife to the handsome guy to the left, and in the middle you'll find our other 'child', Hazel the Goldendoodle haha. We're a family that loves to travel & go on adventures! We love walks to Starbucks with the pup, spending time with family & playing board games, but we also love to kick back and watch movies too! Family is the most important thing in my life, and you'll find that I have very limited weekend availability (usually just a few in the Fall!) as that is my time home with my husband and kids.
I opened my business in May 2008 and have grown so much over the last 11+ years in who I am, as well as the experience I provide for my clients! Our baby's are only in our belly for a few months, fit in our arms for a short time, & only let us hold them on our hip for a few years. I'm here to photograph each milestone, and create gorgeous professional artwork for you to cherish 10, 20, 30+ years from now! Part of my passion, is also offering to style my clients with our curated Studio Wardrobe for the entire family! My style is organic & neutral with some pastels.
Life is art. I'm here to capture yours.

Q&A
Q: "What makes your studio different from others'?"
A: I strive to offer a completely custom experience for each client, offering a victorian studio near downtown Owensboro, KY. The studio is fully furnished and allows us to photograph your session with a variety of props and sets, as well as the Studio Wardrobe for moms, dads and kiddos sizes 0-10 years! I offer a changing station for newborns and babies, stocked with diapers and baby wipes for our little clients, as well as a nursing/feeding room for your privacy and much more! Also, while I understand most ask about digitals because that's all they've had...I provide my clients with a happy medium by offering Heirloom Wall Art & Albums, along with digitals! Clients love that they can get a custom experience as well as professional Heirloom quality products designed and in their hands, yet also be able to choose digitals for archiving, social media sharing and making prints for yourself and family!
Q: "Can you send me pricing?"
A: I would love to discuss pricing with you! Please see "Investment"; "Portrait Investment" for the Session Fee and what clients typically invest on a portrait order. I have a variety of options and would love to go over any questions. Please click the 'Contact Us' tab to shoot me an email!
Q: "How far in advance should I book my session?"
A: For Newborns, I ask that you try to book your newborn session as early as possible. I add you to the schedule with your due date, and then once baby makes his/her debut, we finalize a date & time that works for you, along with reserving my newborn assistant!
For all other portrait sessions, I do have some clients book 6+ months in advance, therefore it's never too early to get on the schedule!
