Tara Goulden

Hello! I’m Tara, the heart and soul behind Madison 31 Experience. With over 15 years of capturing precious moments, I specialize in newborn, family, maternity, and wedding photography. My approach blends fine art with lifestyle photography to tell authentic stories that reflect the love, joy, and connection between families.

Photography, for me, is more than just a profession—it's about preserving the emotions and memories that make each family unique. My goal is to create an experience that’s as comfortable and personal as it is beautiful, so you feel at ease in front of the camera. Whether it’s a quiet newborn session, an adventurous maternity shoot, or a joyful family gathering, I strive to make every moment feel real, raw, and full of love.

At Madison 31, it’s not just about snapping pictures—it’s about building connections. I take the time to understand your vision and provide gentle guidance, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident as we capture your memories. Your story is one-of-a-kind, and I’m honored to help tell it.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me exploring new places, enjoying cozy moments with my loved ones, or simply taking in the beauty of life’s fleeting moments.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.
