when was the last time you had your photo taken?

And I'm not talking Mom with the iPhone, photos. Real, posed professional photos.

Most of my couples think that there is something un-photogenic about them, that they're awkward or uncomfortable and it's JUST NOT TRUE.

If taking photos has been a less than pleasant experience for you, chances are, you just had awkward photos taken.

Photography should be fun, inviting, a little goofy, and 100% oriented to telling your story.

When done right, I promise it is magical.

“we take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.”

How it goes:

Session

All of my packages come with a complimentary engagement session, so we work together to create an unforgettable moment for the camera.

Inquiry

You reach out to me, and we connect over your details. Tell me your love story, paint me a picture, and we craft a game plan.

Count down

I'm here to be your wing-woman and confidant during your planning process. Have questions about your color theme? Need to vent about your MIL? I'm just a quick text away.

YOU’RE MARRIED!

The big day will come, we'll knock it out of the park and you can kick back while I do the heavy lifting. I'll have your gallery delivered over the next 60 days.

  • *** A DREAM COME TRUE *** I have booked Taylor multiple times now because of her artistic eye and dependability. You wont regret booking with her!!!!!!

    Lana W.

  • "My fiance and I were looking for a specific vibe for our photos, and Taylor made it happen with care, creativity, and flexibility. She goes above and beyond! If you’re here, doing your research — let this be your sign that Taylor is your girl. I combed through dozens and dozens of photographers and I am so happy that I went with her."

    Megan

  • "Taylor made my engagement shoot so special. My fiance and I are pretty awkward people and she made it feel like we've known her forever. She went along with our weird ideas, and got a lot of genuine moments from us that really show in her work. If you are shy like us she will definitely bring you out of your shell!!!!! 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!"

    Sophie & Ryan

  • "I cannot recommend Taylor enough. She was the first vendor we booked for our wedding, because we fell in love with her style and caring personality. She has a vintage feel to her photos and a tendency to break away from the typical "wedding" shots. She delivered nothing short of exactly what I wanted. Her work was beautiful, and she was so kind and amazing with our families. Felt like having your best friend shoot your wedding!!!! Thank you Taylor, truly thankful to have found you.

    Amanda & Travis

  • "Taylor made us feel valued and comfortable in front of the camera and her work is beautiful. We are rather camera shy, but her demeanor was so calming and assuring that we relaxed instantly and enjoyed the process. She was kind, professional, and is clearly passionate about her clients wants and needs! The final gallery she provided us with (in record time) was breathtaking and exactly how we communicated our desired result. Thank you, Taylor, for a warm, loving and comfortable experience and we can’t wait to book you for more special moments in the future. With gratitude, Summer & Austin

Like any good relationship, we gotta vibe...

You are going to spend a lot of time with me, on your big day and leading up to it, so it is important to make sure that we click. I want you to feel like we would actually hang out in real life, outside of this fairy tale wedding experience you are having.

I am super drawn to vintage imagery from the 60s, 70s, and 80s -- when candid film was all that was available. Photographs looked like real, authentic moments captured in real time. Catching you with your guard down, being your true self with your best friend, is the absolute best case scenario for amazing images. I am personally not a fan of "SAY CHEESE" pics with forced smiles and a dire need to be over with it fast.
