In a quiet field with towering walls of Oleanders tucked away aside a Biltmore manor Tarah McDaniel strolls onto stardom. Tarah is an incredible talented triple threat budding a career in modeling, acting, and make-up artistry. Tarah, of course, started in Phoenix, but has of the last year expanded her borders to the Hollywood nexus, starring in films, television, music videos, and countless photo shoots for blogs, magazines, and books. She can be seen on the Discovery Channel to The Hangover III, and Maxim Magazine and everything in-between. Behind the scenes, her steady hand and creative eye is evident in her flawless make-up artistry. Again you've probably seen her work on billboards and magazines around town as well as all over the country. Tarah brings an overwhelming since of style and presence in all of her art forms.

This was not my first encounter with Tarah. We first met while I was working as a director of photography for a music video, and she was our featured model. It was really great working with her. She's so experienced she just understands the process and works well to keep things moving, and this shoot was no different. We were able to get the shots we needed so quickly that we just had time to hang out and catch up. That's one of the great things about working with down to earth people. They are just easy to be around. I was happy she made time for the shoot. She was literally taking a break from a film she was in the process of shooting just to come and shoot with me. With the type of work ethic that Tarah has, it's no wonder why her career is in full bloom. May the sun never set on your creative work. Something tells me it's going to be a long day.
