Taria Reed Cover Artist #
My name is Taria (Maria with a T) Reed. I'm a trained photographer specializing in children and family portraits. Being a photographer professionally I quickly married my love of photography and my growing love for cover design. I became known for shooting my own images for my covers. In August 2013 I opened up my own stock house called "The Reed Files". It's been a wild ride but I love what I do and can't imagine doing anything else for a living.
