California based portrait, wedding, and lifestyle photography

Hi there! I'm Tara Jones, the girl behind the brand.
I started Flare Productions back in 2003, a year before graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography, and am still head-over-heels in love with all things photography and design!

Fact: Not a single day goes by that I don't take a picture, laugh out loud, whistle to myself or dream up something new.

Rumor: I'm known to bust out some sweet dance moves at weddings. (The jury is still out on the "sweet" part...)

Promise: I promise to do my best for you, because there is nothing sweeter to me than getting to be the one to put a smile your face.

I just adore a good cup of coffee! So, if you want to meet up to talk about your next photoshoot, email me at tara@flareproductions.com.
