Specialist portrait photographer in East Dereham, Tara Reeson crafts natural, storytelling portraits and professional headshots. Relaxed, consultative sessions that produce heirloom-quality images.
Your memories are the most valuable heirloom — this is the belief at the heart of Tara Reeson Photography. Based in East Dereham, Tara specialises in portrait photography, creating natural, storytelling images that feel genuine and timeless. Whether you want a warm family portrait, a maternity session full of quiet connection, or a clean professional headshot for LinkedIn, Tara approaches every shoot with care, intention and a signature ‘Minnesota Nice’ warmth. Tara’s style blends candid documentary moments with gently posed, flattering compositions. She looks for the small, telling details — a glance, a laugh, the way hands fit together — and shapes them into images that reflect personality rather than a forced smile. This philosophy comes from a lifetime of collecting stories and frames, inspired by her American roots and a love of landscape and quiet domestic beauty. The result is heirloom-quality photography that feels both natural and beautifully considered. Working with Tara is relaxed and collaborative. Every session begins with a friendly consultation to talk through your ideas, preferred locations and styling so the shoot reflects what matters most to you. Many clients choose meaningful outdoor spots around Norfolk, while others prefer portraits that feel simple and timeless. Tara guides the session with calm direction, encouraging natural interaction and small prompts that help even camera-shy clients feel at ease. You’ll receive a curated, hand-edited collection delivered via a private online gallery, ready to download, share and print. For clients needing business portraits, Tara produces professional headshots and polished images suitable for company profiles and social media, offered alongside her core portrait work — always with a focus on authenticity and strong, approachable presentation rather than stiff formality. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in East Dereham who values story, warmth and craftsmanship, Tara offers a welcoming, consultative experience and photographs that will be treasured for years to come. Get in touch for a chat over a cuppa to discuss your portrait ideas — Tara loves a good catch-up and is excited to capture your next chapter.
