Every couple I’ve shot over the last 10 years now has made an impact on my life in many forms, to which I’m reminded why I do what I do. Documenting such special seasons of people’s lives deserves to be celebrated in a way that is permanent, and can be remembered interminably.
With photography comes vulnerability. Putting yourself and your relationship in front of a camera and another person isn’t a regular occurrence for most, and is a very brave thing to do. Every time a couple asks me to document them, whatever stage of life they’re in, it’s so special to me that they chose ME to be vulnerable in front of and share this part of their life with.
You’re choosing to willingly let me into the most intimate part of your relationship and that is something I don’t take lightly. There are friends and family members who don’t even get the privilege to experience what I get to experience with my couples, and that means so much to me.
I want to revolutionize your relationship with the camera, and shift your perspective on all things photography; what it means and what it should be. An intentional, connective, relationship based experience is paramount and I want every couple I meet on the other side of my camera to feel exactly how they should feel - empowered, confident, comfortable, free, safe, organic, and beyond! I’ve found purpose in providing humans a space to be candid with no limitations, where memories become tangible product that they can cherish for generations to come.
I’m all about finding the balance and combining all things modern, timeless and classic with a cinematic, romantic, nostalgic, documentary approach. I use digital and film photography to capture my couples and give them a happy-medium experience that is that perfect balance.
I know that for most, being photographed is not a regular occurrence.
My couples rely on me to direct them and I 110% believe that’s what I’m here for. I’m directive to help my couples feel comfortable and confident, while still being hands-off giving them the freedom to be themselves so I can showcase their honest personalities in a way that feels genuine and candid! I give engaging prompts that feel natural and result in instinctive reactions.
My husband who is my biggest fan, my best friend, my rock who constantly keeps me grounded, centered, and collected. Our story is a wild one though, and I always jokingly say Jake brings out my “wildside”. I grew up being a big-time rule follower with structure, and never did anything I wasn’t supposed to. Jake was the polar opposite and was the rebellious “bad boy” I would’ve never considered.
Jake and I met as teenagers in our hometown back in 2012. We went to rival high schools and had several mutual friends.
We never dated or pursued each other until July of 2017, where we dated for approximately 6 months before eloping secretly in January of 2018, while he was active duty military.
“When you know, you know”, may be cheesy or cringe, but was so beyond accurate here! Post elopement, we spent the remainder of his contract stationed in southern New Mexico. After an overseas deployment and our time in the military concluded, we relocated back to the pacific northwest. We built a life in the beauty that is Oregon with our two golden retrievers, Cash and Comet! They pretty much run our lives and are the highlights of our every day!
I’m a pacific northwesterner, born and raised in Olympia, Washington. I grew up with a huge family and community! So if anyone understands big weddings it’s me haha! I’m the oldest of five which is what I believe to be the leading reason for my type-a personality. On the enneagram scale I’m an 8 wing 9 which translates to being a challenger, self-motivator, decision maker, communicator, and a planner who thrives in structure but still has the ability to go with the flow.
Like organized chaos - just like my life with a big family! Despite being a bold 8, I’m balanced by having 9 strengths that bring a calm, collected, laid-back energy that adapts and molds to a variety of personality types.
When it comes to being a photographer, I use my bold approach and years of experience to provide my couples with honest information
and resources to help navigate them and make intentional decisions, combined with my soft friendly energy always having your best interests at heart!
I’m in love with love, and think it’s the most beautiful part of the human experience. Valentine’s Day has always been and forever will be my favorite holiday! I live for a good early 2000’s rom-com which is absolutely what inspires my work. My favorite movie is How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (thanks mom), and my childhood dogs name was “Princess Sofia”, if you know you know *wink*!
I’m a sucker for chocolate covered strawberries, red wine or dark beer, and a good burger. Living in the heart of Oregon’s famous Willamette Valley has really done something to me, haha! I love to travel the world, embark on new experiences, and get the most life has to offer. I value experiences over things, always, and love to continue building a beautiful colorful life with my person.

This is your legacy. Your uniqueness, personalities, and story is special, and your photos should reflect exactly that. The authenticity of you is what transcends your photographic experience beyond anything ordinary. Whatever your current season of life is, no matter where you’re from, I’m here to celebrate with you and create.
If you didn't realize you wanted to be best friends with Taylor before working with her, you will undoubtedly want to be besties after!! We met Taylor when she was shooting the wedding of some of our best friends, and immediately after that day my now husband and I looked at each other and said "She HAS to be our wedding photographer". We were so set on her being our photographer that we were literally going to choose our wedding date around her schedule. Not only did she deliver us with the most beautiful photos we have ever seen of ourselves, but she made us feel completely at home throughout the entire process. If you're camera shy like me, Taylor directs you in a way that makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful! I truly have never looked at myself in photos and felt as beautiful as I do with the photos we've had taken by her!! Taylor's presence radiates the genuine, caring and full heart she has as a photographer AND friend! She is SO incredibly talented as a photographer and has a gift of making you feel seen and cared about. We were so grateful to have her, and I would recommend her one thousand times over and over!
Tay is seriously one of THE MOST gifted human beings!!! She is a creative genius who produces nothing but golden perfection!!! Her work amazes me time and time again!!! The way she captures love is beyond authentic, effortlessly beautiful, and undeniably reflective of the uniqueness of every couple!!! Not only is she a gifted photographer, but she also will champion you, encourage you, and support you like no other!!! She will be your biggest cheerleader and quickly become a dear friend!! She will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera & will feel like you have been modeling for years!!! It is truly a joy, a blessing, and a delight to work with her & she, without a doubt, will forever be our go to photographer!!!
Taylor is the best and I can’t thank her enough for going so above and beyond. From our first phone call to delivering the photos she was always worried about our needs and making sure our elopement was perfectly captured. We are LOVING each and every photo. She sent us hundreds more then what we thought we would be receiving.These are being hung in our home until we die and seriously so cherished! Taylor - thank you for being an amazing human and you are so good at what you do. Thank you for being patient on our wedding day since our plan was a bit all over and for being so flexible with moving it a day too. Shouting your name to every bride I know. Ladies and gentlemen don’t even hesitate, just book her!!
I have NO idea how we got so lucky with Taylor..I reached out to her after my fiance and I decided to ditch our original plans (thanks covid) and have a backyard wedding in Black Butte Ranch, Oregon. We had 13 DAYS to plan our little wedding and Taylor was there for literally everything. She helped with my flowers, developed the perfect timeline (make sure you follow that sucker- she knows what she's doing!), and kept the entire night running smoothly. She captured exactly what I was hoping for- those raw, candid moments filled with laughter and personality. I can't look through my photos without tearing up; I just feel so incredibly RELIEVED that we found Taylor and that she was down to make our wedding day absolutely perfect on such short notice. Taylor has sooo much talent and her photos are exactly our style and what we were searching for. I still can't believe we did it!! We love you, T!!
If you are in need of a photographer, look no further!! You WANT/NEED Taylor in your life!!!! She is absolutely the best!! My hubs and I can be awkward AF in photos and need LOTS of guidance. She provided just that. She walked us through every step of the way. I am literally blown away with how many good ones she was able to capture of us. She exceeded our expectations and got our photos to us in what I feel was record time. She is sweet, responsive, and professional. I highly recommend her to capture your precious moments. <3
Taylor is INCREDIBLE! She did our engagement and wedding photos and I was blown away by every single one. On our wedding day, she was there for everything we needed and more! She also worked seamlessly with our other vendors, none of whom she knew before. I couldn’t have imagined a better photographer, and will be forever thankful that my husband and I get to relive our favorite day through her work!!
My husband and I met Taylor in 2019 when we fell in love with her photography & knew we needed to book her for our wedding in 2021. Through our two years of planning our wedding, Taylor was there to bounce ideas off of about my vision for the wedding, photograph an amazing engagement session at one of her favorite places, listen to me vent about wedding stress & absolutely crush the photography on our wedding day! Her creativity is unmatched & her editing style is so beautiful. I feel honored that through this process we have gained a friend in Taylor & i can’t wait for her to photograph our next life events! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Taylor for your wedding, elopement and any photography shoot you may have!!
My wedding was back in June and I am ONCE AGAIN sitting here and looking back on my wedding photos from Taylor!! She is the one you want at your wedding. She made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun! Because of her vast experience, she knows her stuff. She provides guidance and is realistic about what works and what doesn't but she listens to you and makes sure all of your needs/wants are being met. We decided not to purchase the full package and went with a smaller one but she STILL captured pictures of everything in our wedding that we wanted!! One of the things I loved was how fast she gave us previews. Literally the day after our wedding! Also, she is super active on instagram and was posting about us and writes the sweetest captions to get us all in our feels. To wrap it up because I could go on, Taylor has a very special and unique touch and she loves what she does. And you can tell that through her work. Thank you Taylor for giving us the wedding pictures of our dreams so I can relive the day over and over!
Taylor did our wedding and engagement photos. She was an absolute joy to work with, and helped my husband and I feel so special and taken care of for both shoots. My husband typically feels uncomfortable getting his picture taken, but Taylor really helped him come out of his shell and took the most beautiful photos. If this wasn’t enough, she was also incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. We got married in summer 2020, which meant constant replanning and changing things around. Taylor was always quick to respond to questions, offered suggestions whenever we asked, and always made sure to tell me how beautiful and special our wedding day would be whatever happened. Our photos really capture how happy and in love we felt that day, and I cannot recommend her enough.
We had the pleasure of working with Taylor for our pictures and her husband Jake for film for our elopement in Santa Barbara, Ca. We are OBSESSED with how our pictures came out! Idk how but she made us look like professional models. They are such a great team that make you feel so comfortable in front of a camera. Taylor’s patience and direction during the whole shoot was so incredible. I’m already trying to think of a way to hire them again! Lol I only added a couple pics but honestly I would add them all if I could !
My husband and I had the pleasure and honor of working with Taylor for our wedding the summer of 2021! Right from the get-go, Taylor was on top of everything and was, honestly, way more than just our photographer... Not only did she take and edit thousands of beautiful, high-quality photos for our engagement session AND wedding, but she ALSO provided an abundance of knowledge, expertise and recommendations throughout the entire wedding planning process. She is extremely talented, straight-forward and will do whatever it takes to make your vision come to life. We could not recommend her enough to anyone out there who is in need of a wedding/elopement photographer-- she will blow your socks off, I promise.
