My Method & Approach to Photography

Real life & creative direction > staged perfection & Posing

I like to approach your session or wedding like old friends catching up, I don’t want the cookie cutter version of you or your life. I want the short-story, long. I want all the side quests and little quirks to bubble to the top and onto the photos. When you look at your gallery I want you to be able to feel that the photos are unique and undeniably you.

I don’t want you to feel as if you have to look or be a certain way. I truly think of it as I’m hanging out with you or that you’ve invited me to your wedding and I’m capturing the moment how it happens, as authentically as possible with plenty of room for the creative energy that comes through. Together we're agreeing to creating our own little world and getting to express ourselves freely! I get so excited just thinking about it!

Trust fall into the creative process with me and get ready to live in the moment! I look forward to getting to know you as a human and creating some cool pics together as keepsakes.

Always so blown away by Taylor’s work. If anyone is looking for a photographer to create something special, make you feel beautiful + comfortable, and create beautiful + lasting memories Taylor is your person. She was patient and made it so easy and fun for my fiancé and I. We are in love with our photos and get tons of compliments. We couldn’t be happier to have her capture our big day!
