Love Notes from Amazing WoMen

  • Shanna

    “I've never had much support throughout different chapters of life and learning self-love or being inspired to be confident in embracing my beauty then I have with you.

    It has been a very exciting, safe, and healing experience. I'm continually impressed with each session I work with you as you manage to make each session unique to that period in my life. You've given me the confidence to embrace my femininity.”

  • Lauren

    “I've never been mentally well, I tried, and I always felt worthless. Years of abuse and physical neuropathy left me helpless. I met Taylor and they were a breath of fresh air! Not only were they a friend but they were caring, and that's rare for someone in love with the feminine form. Taylor never makes me feel nervous... I believe in exploring the body and finding beauty but I didn't know how, and they found it! Taylor sparked a love for myself I could never find on my own and for that I'm forever grateful. 

    I went from depressed and hopeless to sexy and empowered, and I owe it all to them, they're grade A amazing and I couldn't ask for a better friend. Cuz they're not just a photographer, they're an artist and a beautiful person”

  • Justina

    “I am an artist and always appreciated Art. I find beauty in everything I see however, when it comes to me, I am one of my toughest critics. Suffering, chronic depression and seizures on an everyday basis is a struggle so I see myself in different views.

    I was very nervous working with you because I knew I had changed and that I was falling into depression and getting asked to do this shoot was the light to get me out of the dark to see that I am beautiful for just being me.

    You were able to bring that out, truly grateful and appreciative of the artistic talents and the comfort and confidence you brought to the shoot thank you so much !!“

  • Abby

    “The first time I seen the photos from my first session with you, I couldn’t believe my eyes . They were beautiful, I was beautiful.

    You have a way with angles and making a girl feel comfortable in her own skin. The type of photographer that I will drop everything to shoot with .”

  • Alexandra

    “Taylor is a phenomenal photographer if you are looking for talent and comfort. They capture the beauty of one’s soul perfectly through this art and allow people to find peace. 

    I have felt way more confident in modeling when I shoot with them as they allow me to be myself and expand on my passion and creativity.  They make me feel beautiful and the end results never disappoint.

    I genuinely could not recommend you a better photographer as Taylor is by far one of the best I have ever worked with in my 7 years of modeling. I have never once felt uncomfortable with them, nor have I ever shot something I hated.  They have a natural talent in photography.”

  • Denae

    “I have loved working with Taylor on the photoshoots we have done together. They are so crazy talented, and have such an eye for lighting. They are so good at giving ideas / instruction on posing and angles. The fact that they are on the constant lookout for new and interesting locations is so evident in their photography. 

    Not to mention, just an absolute joy to work with and have such a great energy and personality. It makes you feel so much more comfortable and open. 

    Taylor is exactly the kind of photographer I hope to work with every time.”

  • Leila

    “Taylor is one of the most creative photographers I have worked with. The whole time they maintained professionalism and made me feel super comfortable throughout our entire shoot. I love how they capture the image at just the right angle and know exactly what looks good on camera. 

    I highly recommend Taylor for anyone comfortable or even uncomfortable taking pictures as they will find the perfect way to capture your true beauty.

    They stand out from any other photographer I have worked with because they give tips and pointers as to what looks good versus what can be a bit awkward and never did they manage to make me feel insecure with the input and advice. I also enjoyed that they were able to get me to open up and come out of my comfort zone to capture the most unique beautiful images I have seen.”

Longer Notes

“I have been a freelance tattoo model for 7+ years. During my modeling journey, I had the pleasure of meeting a very wonderful person, Taylor! Since our very first photoshoot I was inspired by them! We created photos with shadows and low light, something new to me. These photos turned out to be some of my favorites I had worked on at that time. 

We've worked together a lot over the years and I see Taylor as a true creative and someone who is uplifting and encouraging to someone's real beauty. One of my favorite things about Taylor when I first started working with them is they do not photoshop or dramatically change the client. They capture us in a way that is beautiful and real. 

I appreciate Taylor's work so much and I appreciate Taylor as a person. They aren't just a photographer to me but a great friend who I met thanks to photography. I highly recommend working with Taylor any time you can and I have had only wonderful experiences with them.“

Maya

“I have been doing freelance alternative modeling for almost 2 years now. Booking, meeting and executing a photoshoot with Taylor was the best ideas and experience I could have prayed for. They are phenomenal at having the client and clients feel comfortable in their own skin and they are completely able to capture the best images possible. It can be rather difficult for me to be comfortable around photographers or in front of the lens at times.

None of that stands true with Taylor. They kept everything completely professional and quite fun and entertaining the entire day and during our drive to our photoshoot destination. They styled me every single step of the way, taking away the need for me to do that myself or hire a stylist to bring along to the shoot. They also had many different outfits I could choose from if I didn't want to use my own articles of clothing.

The images I received from this very same shoot are some of the best ones I now have to add to my portfolio. Along with the experience of a lifetime! I would highly recommend working with Taylor to anyone that has the opportunity or privilege of doing so. You won’t regret it! Their natural born talent and personal drive towards greatness shows in every piece of work they produce. 

Anyone would be blessed to be graced by such greatness, real life magic, and ultimate professional level of work.”

Morgan

“I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with Taylor on 2 separate occasions. Both photography sessions were what I would like to humbly call, “An insight on what is, not what could be”. I say this meaning that I spent so many years wishing I was the “It” girl, and constantly doubting myself. That is, up until I worked with Taylor.

They knew, without asking, exactly what I needed in this type of session. Therapy. In the form of Art. It is truly incredible to be presented with a situation where someone knows you so well without saying a word. Taylor knew that I struggle with self image, and made every lasting effort to help me see that my body, this vessel, is more than good enough.

To say that Taylor impacted me tremendously, would be a gross understatement. The sheer value of the conversations and overall interaction with them was and is immeasurable. Now, I’m nowhere near what I need to be, but damn am I getting close. I can’t thank them enough.

Taylor pushed me to break down my walls, to work outside of my tiny box of comfort. In turn creating a warm and welcoming environment, a level of trust almost immediately. Knowing that I was safe was the first step, and boy am I a hard nut to crack. 

They made sure I knew exactly what the plan was, which helps someone like me more than anyone would ever know. They walked with me on a path of what I would like to call, “For the Love of Me”. You see, my poor self image was holding me down like an anchor on a jet ski I needed to let go. And that is exactly what I was able to do. It wasn’t about showing my skin, or feeling pressure of hitting the perfect pose. It was in fact about being me. Just me. An opportunity to find out who that is. 

It may have only been a total of six hours between the two sessions, but to me it was the equivalent of thousands of hours of therapy. Now, I am aware that that is not a fair comparison for most. For me, that’s exactly what it was. We worked through years of unresolved traumas and abuse by somehow not saying a word about either. But it works. Although I know this is not a, “one size fits all” scenario, it did IT for me. And that is what was and is so important. The experience in itself was incredible and came in different parts. Taylor establishes respect and care in the first interactions. Solidifies trust with being open and setting forth a plan and wardrobe. 

Then, when it’s time to do the actual photo shoot you are hit with the freeing and encouraging feelings when they show you what YOU really look like. Taylor has the eye. And I do mean THE eye. 

There is no way that I could appropriately put it into words how it felt to feel so incredibly low and then shoot through the clouds and to the stars. You may say I’m being dramatic. But nay-nay. That’s just how I felt.

Looking at what Taylor saw, what they captured was just breathtaking. I can’t put it any other way. I have gained so much in just a few short hours that I haven’t gotten in twenty-eight years of living. And that. That is priceless."

I didn’t know what to expect when I first met you. Talking through messages really did help calm my nerves about the situation. You were always very kind and quite good at relaying to me all of the information they could give me. 

From how long you had been shooting images, to images you had shot in the past and present, to the way you enjoyed connecting with me. I already had wonderful expectations while talking to you, but I had no idea just how wonderful it was going to be actually meet and work with you.

My first shoot I was of course nervous. The minute we met though, there was just an ease in the air. It really didn’t take long until there was no more nervousness and the flow of it all was just so amazing. I never once felt uncomfortable or unsure. By the end of the first shoot I was so invigorated. I had never been so comfortable with a person I just met and the amazing amount of confidence I felt by the end was, to me, quite shocking. 

My second shoot with you just as amazing. Between the wonderful atmosphere you create, to just the incredible images you produce. You’ve helped me to start feeling whole again. A piece that had been buried and so desperate to come out, now had the change and was thriving. 

And by my third shoot I felt as if I could take on the world.

You are fantastic at making me feel my worth. To see my worth from a new perspective. You helped me break down barriers in a myself I didn’t know was there and I so desperately needed help with.

“I think you do really good with posing women! The poses you make women do are all very different from one another and it helps bring so much to the photos and brings so much to the client.  The photography you do is also really amazing. I think it’s really unique and cool that you use no photoshop and no equipment in the photos,  I think it’s shocking looking at the photos and seeing that they're just raw photos. The style you give off in the photos are very organic and or high fashion which is something very popular in New York”
