Welcome to the blog of my latest work! I am Tara, owner and photographer of Chixie and Honey Artistic Imagery. The curious and whimsical name of my company is credited to my young daughter. When I heard her name her little stuffed chicks "Chixie" and "Honey" I knew that those names exactly fit how I wanted my business to feel...fun, funky, whimsical and curious.
I am a mom, a wife, a daughter and a friend. I am a photographer. I have always been artsy, and started my love of photography a little over 10 years ago while taking a black and white film class in college.
I have the perfect job. I get to capture the tiny little toes and fingers fresh in this world. The pouts, the smiles, the laughs...I cherish it all. I aim to capture the soul in pictures. I work hard at what I do and feel so lucky to be able to get a glimpse into my client's lives.
Take a look around and enjoy! I look forward to working with you.
Ellison’s mama and daddy are dear friends of ours and it was such an honor to be able to photograph her brand new sweetness. She was so tiny, only 6 pounds!
World….meet Ellie. 
Just a reminder….Chixie and Honey offers Maternity / Newborn packages and a Baby Plan package at a significantly reduced rate ! Email or call today to get yours scheduled.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure and honor of photographing Gretchen & Troy’s beautiful wedding. It rained in the morning and a few of us were a tad worried but the weather held out the rest of the day and was SCORCHING hot! Thank goodness for air conditioning! Outdoor pictures were a trial because of the heat but everyone was such troopers and made it fun.
The wedding party was full of life and fun, and everyone made Danielle and I feel so comfortable!
Thank you to the Lusky and Manders clan for having us be there on your special day.
Warning….picture overload! Enjoy!!

Gibson’s mama contacted me many months ago asking me to take photos of her baby boy that would be coming in May. I was so excited and humbled to hear they would be traveling from Royal Oak, Michigan and was tickled to hear of how she found me—through the Matilda Jane website! www.matildajaneclothing.com I am listed as a photographer on the website and so excited that it has helped an awesome new client find their way to me.
Baby Gibson was an angel, and sister Avery is just perfection. This is a huge photo overload, but I just had so many favorites, I had a hard time narrowing it down. Enjoy!
Darcie….thank you so much for bringing in your beautiful baby boy to see me! I loved every minute of it! You have such a beautiful family….please bring them in to see me again soon! <3
