MEET TARSH
Oh Hi, I'm tarsh
My full name is Natarsha March. Most people call me Tarsh. Yes, I have a rhyming name. I know.
I'm an award-winning newborn and family photographer based in Bunya, North Brisbane.
I've been doing this for 14 years and I've photographed over 1,600 families. I'm also the 2025 Brisbane Family Photographer of the Year, which I'm not going to pretend I'm not proud of.
A bit about how I got here (my origin story)
It was 1995. Tauranga, New Zealand. Teenage me on the front lawn with a disposable camera, "directing" my two best friends in their floral-print skirts, op-shop jumpers and clogs.
I was obsessed with posing people before I even knew what that meant.
I left school at 17 and spent the next 15 years in television as a video editor, producer and director. News, reality TV, kids shows, current affairs, across New Zealand and Brisbane. It sounds glamorous. It is not glamorous.
It is long hours and last-minute calls and living on coffee.
After my first daughter Sophie was born, I couldn't keep up with the unpredictable demands of freelance TV work.
So I stopped. And my mothers group started noticing my baby photos. Then their friends called. Then their friends.
I got insured. Got registered. Studied more. And slowly built something I'm genuinely proud of.
What I actually care about
I care about you feeling good on the day.
Not just getting nice photos but actually enjoying yourself.I care about your baby being safe.
I've spent years learning how to pose newborns properly and I stay current on vaccinations and safety standards.
Every single session.I care about the whole experience from start to finish. You shouldn't have to think about a thing.
My job is to make this feel easy and fun, and then hand you images that make you cry the good kind of tears.I deliver fine art heirloom prints and digital files because I want your photos to actually live somewhere, not sit forgotten in a cloud folder.
A few things about me
I'm a Kiwi, born and raised in Tauranga. It's fairly obvious the moment I open my mouth.
I have two teenage daughters, Sophie and Charlotte.Both soccer obsessed. Both keeping me humble.
My husband Trav builds props, paints studio walls and brings me coffee in bed in the mornings. He generally makes my life the most amazing it can be.
We have chickens on the property. They have absolutely no respect for session schedules and regularly stroll into shoots uninvited. Families love it. I have given up trying to keep them out.
I do pole fitness. Before you picture something very different to what this actually is, let me be clear: I have a remarkable talent for taking something that should look cool and athletic and making it look very, very un-sexy. I got into it for the workout, which doesn't feel like a workout until the next morning when you can't lift your arms. It's great for memory, coordination and having a laugh at yourself.
When I'm not at the studio I'm walking Max (our Shih Tzu, who thinks he's a cat), reading on my Kindle, doing crosswords or jigsaws, or singing loudly in the car.
I once auditioned for New Zealand Idol. That's all I'm going to say about that.
