A bit about me.
Who am I?
Hey, Iβm Taylor. A mom with a love for photography and capturing lifeβs authentic moments.
Iβm a big feeler with a tendency to dream big and laugh loudly. I love deep conversations, potlucks, multi-day hikes, sunsets, animals, authenticity, and swimming in the ocean or a warm lake.
I first fell in love with photography while backpacking and travelling throughout my younger twenties. I spent time living in Fernie B.C. and Tasmania, Australia, and travelled around South East Asia, New Zealand, Guatemala, Mexico, Ecuador, El Salvador, Sri Lanka and more.
In 2021, I completed my Bachelorβs of Business Administration and found myself in a life-sucking cubicle desk job. I spent the first two weeks quite literally sobbing at my lonely grey, barren desk, using the companyβs internet to search for something that felt even remotely aligned with my soul. My whole life I had done everything I could to avoid this fate, and yet here I was. I felt hopeless, like the corporate world had finally trapped me and had me in itβs clammy grip.
With tears streaming down my face,
I asked myself a question Iβd heard before, but for the first time in my life I answered it honestly:
βWhat would you do if you could not fail?β
That was the day my photography business began. The months to follow were spent planting seeds, researching, setting intentions, photographing friends, and working on a website and a portfolio. I took the process day by day, and I am so glad I took the risk and just tried. Today, I am still learning new things everyday and am always looking for ways to improve, expand and grow both in my business and personal life.
Photography fulfills me in ways a corporate desk job never could. I love meeting new people, learning about your life, hearing your stories and struggles, and documenting your life. I love feeding my creative side, dreaming up shoot ideas, and pouring my soul into this work and the people I do it for. Most of all, I love the magic that comes from the connection I make with my clients, in the form of photographs that will outlast us all.
