THE HEART BEHIND THE CAMERA
I’m Tyra, a Fargo-based wedding and lifestyle photographer serving North Dakota, Minnesota, and beyond. This work matters to me because it’s rooted in people — their connection, their story, and how moments feel while they’re happening. I care deeply about creating an experience that feels calm, supportive, and genuine from start to finish. When we work together, my goal is for you to feel understood and fully present, knowing you’re guided by someone who values what matters most to you.

Guidance Creates Ease
Connection Comes First
Clarity brings peace of mind. I guide you through the process with intention so nothing feels overwhelming or uncertain. From planning details to gentle direction on the day itself, I’m there to support you in a steady, reassuring way. When you feel prepared, you’re able to relax and be fully present.
Photography is personal, and connection matters. I take time to understand you, your priorities, and what this season means to you. That relationship allows you to feel seen and understood, not rushed or performed for. The result is imagery that feels honest and reflective of how it truly felt to be there.
Presence Over Perfection
I believe the most meaningful images come from feeling comfortable and fully present. When you’re not focused on how you look or what’s next, real moments unfold naturally. My role is to create a calm, supportive environment so you can enjoy your day without pressure, trusting that everything meaningful is being thoughtfully documented.

A little more about me, beyond the camera
Photography first found me in high school, when I was simply having fun taking photos of my friends. What started as something light and creative slowly grew into something deeper. Over time, I realized I was drawn not just to the images themselves, but to the moments behind them — the connection, the emotion, the feeling of being there. As my work evolved, so did my purpose. Today, photography allows me to preserve meaningful moments in a way that feels honest, intentional, and deeply personal.
Outside of photography, I love spending time with my family and friends, dreaming up my next trip, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. Some of my favorite days are spent at the lake — slowing down, watching sunsets, and simply being present with the people I love.
I offer custom wedding photography designed around what matters most to you. From quiet, emotional moments to thoughtfully composed details, I focus on documenting how your day feels — not just how it looks. My calm, supportive presence allows real moments to unfold naturally while ensuring you feel prepared, confident, and cared for throughout the entire experience.
Lifestyle sessions are relaxed, meaningful, and rooted in connection. Whether it’s a growing family or a season worth remembering, I approach these sessions with the same intention and care as weddings. The goal is simple: images that feel natural, elevated, and true to who you are, without anything forced or overly posed.
Senior sessions are designed to feel personal and comfortable, highlighting individuality in a timeless way. While not my primary focus, I bring the same attention to detail and thoughtful guidance to every senior session, creating images that feel confident, natural, and reflective of this milestone season.
"Tyra is such a sweet soul! She has captured the engagement photos for my fiancé and I, and she is scheduled to capture our wedding next October. I truly cannot wait because I know she is going to document our day beautifully! I have full trust in her and will be using her for family sessions as long as she will have us!"
