You don't need a perfectly styled home, children who cooperate, or any idea what to do with your hands.
The photographs I love the most happen somewhere in between all of that - the way your baby reaches for you, the toddler who refuses to sit still, the tiny hands wrapped around yours, the laughter that happens when everything goes completely off script.
I'll gently guide when you need it, but I'm never trying to turn your family into something that it isn't.
The goal isn't perfection. It's recognition.

The goal isn't perfection. It's recognition. - through labor, through the transition, and into those first tender days of getting to know your baby.
Because the story doesn't begin at birth - and it doesn't end there either.

When I first contacted Taylor about birth photography, I knew my heart wanted it, but I wasn’t sure my self-esteem could handle being seen so vulnerably. Taylor immediately made me feel safe, understood, and empowered. She listened to every fear without judgment and reassured me in a way that felt so genuine. Even before meeting in person, I trusted her completely.During labor, Taylor brought such a calm and comforting presence. Her experience as a labor & delivery nurse and doula made an incredible difference — she knew exactly how to support, encourage, and guide us while capturing the most meaningful moments so naturally.The photos of our daughter’s birth are something we will treasure forever. They tell our story with so much emotion, love, and strength. Seeing myself through Taylor’s lens made me feel powerful, beautiful, and brave. I will forever be grateful she encouraged me to say yes to this experience.

If you have the opportunity to photograph one of the most memorable moments of your life, you absolutely should. Before meeting Taylor, I didn’t fully understand what birth photography or doula support would even look like. But from our first conversation, it was obvious she is an incredible listener, calming presence, and someone who genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience.One of our biggest concerns was comfort during such a vulnerable moment, and Taylor was so intentional about respecting that. Somehow she captured so many beautiful moments without ever feeling intrusive.Her labor & delivery experience made such a difference. She knew exactly what was happening, comforted us during moments of uncertainty, and brought such a peaceful energy into the room. The combination of her talent, knowledge, and passion is truly special. Looking back now, it honestly feels like pure magic that everyone was exactly where they were meant to be in that room that day.

There are some people who come into your life as friends, and then show up for you in the most meaningful ways when you need them most... That is exactly who Taylor was for us during the birth of our second baby boy.
Having Taylor by my side as both my doula and birth photographer made the experience even more special than I could have imagined... She knew my heart and my desire for a natural, unmedicated birth, and she supported me with so much love, calmness, and confidence. During the most intense moments of labor, she reminded me to breathe, encouraged me when I doubted myself, and helped me trust the strength God designed my body to have. Her steady presence made me feel safe, empowered, and deeply cared for.
She was not only an incredible source of support for me, but also for my husband. She helped him feel confident and involved by teaching him practical ways to support me during labor, especially during the most intense contractions. From showing him how to apply counter pressure to guiding him in how to encourage and comfort me, she equipped him with the tools he needed to be an active and supportive partner throughout the birth. Having someone we know and love walk alongside both of us through such a raw and sacred experience brought a level of comfort and reassurance that words can hardly describe.
And then there are the photographs!!! Somehow, while fully present and supporting us, she captured the most powerful and intimate moments of our baby's birth. Every image tells the story of strength, perseverance, love, and the overwhelming joy of finally holding our little one in our arms. These photos are some of our most treasured possessions and will forever remind us of one of the most beautiful days of our lives.
Watching our close friend use her gifts to serve our family in such a profound way was an incredible blessing. Taylor poured her heart into every part of our birth experience, and we are forever grateful. If you are hoping for a successful birth and want someone who will support you with genuine love, encouragement, and exceptional talent, I cannot recommend her enough!!! We are expecting baby #3 and looking forward to working with Taylor again!
