My husband’s company celebrated 25 years in business in July and we immediately thought of Tiara to photograph the event. We were not disappointed. The images are fantastic!

Working with Tiara was such a great experience. Not only did I walk away with amazing shots for my professional portfolio, but I also got some of the best photos ever taken of me and my dog. She was not photogenic before this session, but somehow Tiara captured her perfectly. Highly recommend!
Foraged Photo can take on any challenge! I needed photos of my dance class in action; the tricky part was the studio lighting and clients in motion. She worked with me to develop a plan to capture the best shots based on positioning and planned run of show. Absolutely nailed it and captured the energy in the room!

Nice to meet you!
I'm Tiara Lovelace Castillo
I'm Tiara Castillo.
I'm a photographer, artist, educator, and creative problem solver who genuinely loves people.
I started Foraged Photo from the idea of foraging for the moments that might otherwise be overlooked or forgotten. I'm an edible mushroom forager, and I've always loved the patience and attention it takes to find something special. You have to slow down, know where to look, and be ready when you find it.
Photography feels much the same.
I'm always looking for the light, the little details, the secret glances, the laughter, and the moments happening between the moments. I gently guide when needed, but never force connection or ask you to perform for my camera.
I'm also an art educator with a background in studio art, art education, and educational leadership. Years of teaching have made patience, communication, creativity, and adapting on the fly second nature to me, especially when kids (or reluctant adults!) are involved.
Outside of photography, I'm a wife and mom to two girls, a coffee shop owner, and someone who loves good food, movement, laughter, community, and exploring with my family.
Whether I'm photographing your people or creating for your brand, I'm here to notice what might otherwise be missed and turn it into part of your story.
That's the heart of Foraged.
Looking for family photography?
I still photograph families with the same relaxed, connection-focused approach that shapes all of my work. Visit my portrait portfolio to learn more.
