Professional... Resourceful...Creative...
I have spent the past 27 years helping clients achieve the image and style they wish to project. With a diverse background, I possess the ability to be flexible and versatile with every project. From creating new ways to style the same shirts every season to hunting down the perfect prop. I am always up to the challenge.
Educated at Southeast Center for Photographic Studies. With 31 years in the industry, I know it takes teamwork to make a project work smoothly and efficiently. I am always using my eye for photography whether I'm working on set design, scouting the next location, or image composition.
Clients include: Marriott Hotels, Phoenix Creative, Lauren Rubinstein Photography, Cutter & Buck, Turner Broadcasting, Boris Photography, Ambrosi Atlanta (The Home Depot), Big Canoe, Atlanta Bread Company, Peppertree Resorts, A Southern Season, Wal-Mart, Rochester Big and Tall, High Museum, and various others.
"Tara is one of the most creative stylists I have had the pleasure to work with. She is conscientious and understands the product and what the client is after. She then takes on the creative process and constantly surprises and inspires. No easy task when products are similar. Tara is a hard worker and is always striving to do better than her best. I have depended on Tara for over 7 years now as she makes my job easier. She has been my #1 stylist and a great colleague to go through any creative process with."
Heather Calhoun VP/Creative Director Phoenix Creative
"I have worked with Tara off and on for the past 6 years and in the past year have been able to work exclusively with her as my go to stylist with my most prestigious client to date.
Tara has not only been a pleasure to work with, she is the hardest working most talented stylist I have had the pleasure of working with.
I not only can hand Tara a shot list and rely on her to use her talent to outfit an entire hotel, she goes above and beyond until the job is done to perfection.
Hard work, artistic talent, and the pure drive to get the job done perfectly are only a few of Tara's qualities that make her an amazing person and talent to work with."

" We just completed the photo shoot yesterday of our post-renovated meeting space, lobby, and restaurant. The photography team was comprised of Lauren Rubinstein, Tara Toole, Jeffrey Gaines and assisted by our Marriott marketing representatives, Mauri and Kristi. I just wanted to express what a great experience it was working with this team. I was able to review a few of the shots taken by Lauren and they were absolutely fantastic! She definitely has a remarkable talent and ability to showcase our brand. One of the biggest takeaways of this experience was the "special touch" that Tara brought to our lobby. She was able to bring the Renaissance brand to life throughout every space that was photographed...and we loved it! We have a unique hotel with bright, vibrant colors and it was difficult to find a lobby centerpiece that matched our decor within brand standards. Tara hit a home run and we are leaving it exactly how she left it. They worked very hard, but had such a great time together...this is hard to find.
I just wanted to share the great comments on behalf of the entire Renaissance Tampa team. I am looking forward to our next renovation so we can see them again!
