This week, we are honored to have Tara Garner, the visionary behind Under Construction Photography. Tara's work uniquely captures the spirit and resilience of the construction industry, bringing the hidden heroes of our communities into the spotlight. Her journey, inspired by her deeply embedded blue-collar family roots, exemplifies the power of passion and connection.

Quotes:

"Through my photography and talking was really just the stories and the communicating with them first. Uh, it just impacted me on such a level that I was like, you know, I need to do this more. I need to show recognition to the ones that are still here.." - Tara Garner
"There are unsung heroes, right, that build our infrastructure and our industries. And I just feel like, you know, as a whole, that blue-collar community is kind of, um, you know, not recognized enough.." - Tara Garner
"Tenacity is in my tool belt" - Tara Garner
