TESTIMONIALS

William Mitchell

Tara created something completely unique when she painted my custom portrait. She packed it full of beautiful interesting detail and made it completely custom to me.

It was a smooth process from start to finish. She arranged custom framing for the artwork as well -- so I had the complete product ready to hang on the wall at the end of it. Thank you Tara.

Lauren Bloedorn

I found out about Tara Leslie’s portraits when I was thinking of having family photoshoot and thought it would be an extra special way to capture my boys.

We talked about the size and shape of the portrait, and she took into account the personality of my boys and their special qualities that I wanted to capture. I am really happy with the results, they will hang on my wall forever.

Debbie Luckhurst

Tara created the perfect gift for me to give to a very special someone who is close to me. She captured the likeness of my husband perfectly, even getting the twinkle in his eye!

We gifted his portrait to a close family member and it now sits pride of place in their family home. I can't thank Tara enough for the magic she worked for this very special once in a lifetime gift.
