let's
get personal.
I was first noticed for my skills when I was 13... but not for photography. Nope. I had been editing videos since I hit middle school and I was pretty okay at it! That kicked off an amazing domino of teachers feeding into my passion and supporting me all the way until I graduated and went off to college for Film & Video Studies.
In college I hit a wall. I felt stifled by my professors, unsupported, and overall just lonely. I was a small town girl and suddenly I was alone and not feeling any spark in my life. So I promptly DROPPED OUT. That's where the story of my begins.
Armed with a secondhand camera from Ebay and faith that this was God's plan for my life, I started my business.

hey! It's me, taylor b.
You know, the photographer.
I jumped into the wedding photography world both feet first like most of us do. Armed with a camera and way too much confidence for my own good, I basically wung my way here.
But now, my approach to this job is very very intentional.
You know how they say that you have to wake up every day and DECIDE that you want to love your spouse? You have to work for it and fight for it everyday, because loving someone is a choice. Trust me, I choose to love my husband every time he decides 6am is the best time to start deep cleaning the house.
Well, that is how I feel about this job. I don't have to do this. I could wake up one day and decide I want to photograph pets instead. But at the end of a long wedding day, when I'm kicking my shoes off and laying down for bed, all I can think about is how damn lucky I am to do the job that I do and play such a critical role in someones biggest day. The highs, the lows, and every where in between - I CHOOSE to do this job because despite rocky step my incredible clients and my love for your stories make this one of the great privileges of my life.

fun facts about taylor
what's definitely on your spotify right now?
Taylor Swift or Motley Crue, there's nothing in between.
favorite hobby?
Huge book nerd. Sarah J Maas could run me over with her car and I'd probably say thank you. I actually named my boudoir business after some of my favorite books.
go-to food spot?
I'm at Hardees 24/7 because it's by my studio, but I'd literally eat salad from Longhorn every day of the week if I could. The day I crack their ranch recipe its all over for them.
where do you spend your free time?
When I'm not taking photos, I'm usually home with my kiddo and husband. Every Monday I spend a few hours with some of my favorite chicks in town at my women's bible study group. And beyond that... probably Target.
Not all that long ago I was a bride myself eager to share my wedding day with my huge family and our abundance of friends. In one part of my husband and I, that was what we wanted, but in another small part of us that held onto our special love story so closely - we wanted to just be together. So a month before our wedding on our (dating) anniversary, we eloped. We went to the courthouse and ate Red Lobster and it was the best day ever. A month later we had an incredible, fun, and laughter-filled wedding day with our families. It was perfect. To this day, only a handful of people know we eloped. Now you're one of them.
On both days I can remember my excitement. The pounding in my chest. The butterflies in my stomach. The thing is, I wasn't a photographer then, and I made a mistake I've kicked myself for ever since. I didn't invest in my photographs. In fact, I couldn't tell you the last time I even looked at them.
I wish I could go back in time and do it all over, but I can't. All I CAN do is help YOU create photos that freeze your day in motion. The raw, the real, the feel. I want to bottle it up and give it back to you in the one way I know how - with my camera.
