Hey! I'm Taylor...
I am a photographer located in Gold Beach, Oregon. I absolutely love living along the coast, being able to go from the beach to the mountains in one short drive! The sunsets here are GEORGEOUS, and the community is friendly and welcoming. I grew up in this small town - these are my roots! I enjoy adventures and spending time in the great outdoors but also really appreciate reading a good book or watching an exciting movie. I am married to the love of my life, and we have our two fur babies, Snoopy and Nerf. I am a bit of a farm girl, so we also have ducks, horses, and a garden! God is so good, and I am looking forward to pursuing the adventures He brings me.
Why did I become a photographer?
Since I was young, I have always loved pictures. And to this day, I enjoy flipping through photo albums or swiping through my phone gallery and reminiscing over past memories. Photos have always helped me remember times and moments that I would have otherwise forgotten. This led me to start picking up any camera I could get my hands on and taking pictures of the things I love - family, animals, flowers, any pretty thing really. Capturing the beauty in my surroundings – whether that be nature, people, animals – fills me with much joy. That passion drove me to expand and share my love of capturing beauty with others, which is why I began wanting to photograph other people – desiring to help them hold memories in one simple yet beautiful image. My dream and passion for photography drove me to start my very own business, and it has been a fun and growing experience where I can continue to learn, expressing who I am in a creative way.
