Tara Goulden


Hi, I’m Tara — the heart behind Madison 31 Experience.


With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in newborn, maternity, family, and wedding photography that blends fine art with natural, emotional storytelling.

To me, photography is about more than beautiful images — it’s about preserving connection, emotion, and real-life moments. Whether we’re capturing the calm of a newborn session or the joy of a family adventure, I strive to make your experience relaxed, meaningful, and uniquely yours.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up time with my family, exploring nature, or chasing the little moments that make life beautiful.

I’m so grateful to be part of your story.
