Wife and Husband Kissing in Garden

Born and raised in Macon, Georgia I’m proud to serve and enrich the Middle Georgia community as a photographer of Weddings, Elopements, and Portrait sessions.  I love branding sessions, video commercials, Wedding videos, and Street photography. Photography is a passion that I practice daily.  When I’m your Photographer, I’ll use that daily practice to find all the small, awe-inspiring moments, and put them on clear display.  My style is more on the Documentary side, with my first choice being beautiful candid moments using natural light, which you look at more and more as the years come.  Posed shots are done with ease and natural suggestions, nothing forced. My background is in digital photography, but film quickly takes up all of my attention.  Your photography session could have added texture, and drama with a film-inspired outing.  Photography is something we do together, and before I ever take out my camera, we will create a strong connection to your wedding story and tailor your experience and your images to match.   I’m a planner and will want to discuss all of the fantastic photography possibilities that we can create.  While I am based in Middle Georgia as a photographer, I love destination sessions.  Traveling is something I’ve done personally and professionally for over half a decade.   As your photographer, I take the time to plan out our destinations, photography outfits, and thematic elements of your photoshoot.   No idea is off-limits.  We can be fearless in our approach to your story.  


I recently had the pleasure of working with Tarver for my mother’s 88th birthday party and I must say, I was blown away by his work. Tarver was an absolute joy to work with. He arrived on time, despite having to drive an hour to get to the location. He was very engaging and made everyone feel comfortable during the shoot. Even with many challenges thrown his way, such as working with children and time/sun constraints, he handled everything with confidence. The best part? The photos turned out to be outstanding! I would highly recommend Tarver to anyone looking for a skilled and professional photographer.

Tarver is a consummate professional and goes out of his way to make sure that you are thrilled with the final result. He is always thinking of new creative ways to make you look your best. He did professional photos for my wife’s medical school applications and we were beyond impressed. Tarver has a warm personality and can make anyone comfortable around the camera so that the moments captured are genuine. I can’t speak highly enough about not only his work ethic but the person he is. Highly recommend! I won’t go anywhere else!

We had in home photos taken by Tarver and they turned out so perfect! The in the moment shots that you long for with your family is what he captured. He came over a few days before hand to make sure the light was where we needed it and helped with color coordination for the pictures! Those little moments you wish you could bottle up and save forever can be yours if you book with Tarver!
