Hiiii, I’m Taylor! Wife to my best friend, Golden Retriever mom to our Beckham, and outdoor enthusiast. My business was created purely out of passion. I’ve always had a love for photography, art and design. I first picked up a camera in 2009 during a high school film class and haven’t stopped shooting since. My photography is inspired by nature’s beauty and life’s beautiful details. I have an infatuation with natural light, details & beautiful scenery. I strive to create light-filled, romantic & timeless imagery, from capturing all the small details to the raw emotional moments. This is my dream job and I’m thankful for it every day.

I live for those candid, unscripted moments. When couples choose me to capture their big day, it’s a true honor—because once the celebration is over, the only thing left to relive those memories are your photos. Happy Planning ;)

I initially dipped my toes into the world of photography in the early 2000s, focusing on sports events and capturing cherished moments from my kids' school activities.

Through my lens, I honor the memory of my youngest son, who, despite his inner struggles, taught me strength and love.

I was that bride that no one wants to be. I was young and had no clue when it came to planning a wedding. I chose a wedding photographer that someone suggested and not necessarily that I loved. Then it happened. My wedding photos came back and were awful. Fifteen years later, they are still awful. From that day on I thought, never again. My role as a photographer continues to push me as a creative, learning how to chase light effectively and giving you images that you'll adore. YOU are my inspiration! Simple things in life are what make me smile. Relationships, sunshine and a cozy movie on the couch. Life is beautiful, isn't it?!

Despite being behind the camera for nearly a decade, I am still always doing exciting new things with my couples. I don’t want to give you an average experience. I want to give you a unique and exciting experience with photos that you can brag about and tell your friends that no one else has photos like you!

Despite a lifelong love for the art form, it was the rewarding, collaborative experience of working with my own wedding photographer that convinced me to pursue it professionally myself! So today, inspired by the nostalgia of film and the timeless elegance of old-fashioned romance, I strive to create galleries bathed in light, emotion, and uncontainable joy through an experience you’ll treasure forever.

I strive to create beautiful, timeless, and honest images. I want your wedding and family photos to resonate 100 years from now, so I tend to focus on candid moments and human connection.
