"Working with Taylor was the most enjoyable, relaxing photoshoot I’ve ever done. Not only is he just fun to hang out with, but he knows how to make his client feel fully themselves in front of the camera and provides a space for them to let go and get exactly what they want out of their shoot. Headshots often feel a little stressful and I’ve often felt like the end result doesn’t capture who I truly am…but these pictures will live in every part of my world as the most “me” photos I’ve ever had taken. Thank you thank you!"

"We couldn’t be happier with our dance photos! As a dancer himself, Taylor brought a unique understanding of movement, technique, and artistry that truly shines through in every image!

Beyond his talent behind the camera, he was incredibly professional, patient, and easy to work with throughout the entire experience. He made our daughter feel comfortable and confident, and the results exceeded our expectations! The photos are absolutely stunning and we’ll treasure them for years to come!

If you’re looking for someone who understands dancers and can beautifully capture their passion for dance, I highly recommend him!"

~Ashley Wall | Mother of local dancer

"Shooting photos with Taylor was the best experience! Taylor is incredibly talented and it shines through his work. During my daughter’s photoshoot Taylor made the time so fun and easy. He put her in poses that fit her , her lines and personality. Capturing beautiful dance poses and moments that highlighted her beauty.  Every shot her personality showed through. I’m still obsessing over them."

~ Shanda Tuckett | Mother of local dancer

"Taylor is probably the most talented photographer I have ever had the pleasure of shooting with. He has such incredible instincts, and makes me feel so seen. I can actually see my true self in his photos, not just a posed or performative version of myself. I always feel so comfortable in sessions with him, and his creativity takes his work to new and imaginative heights. We have shot together three times now, and Taylor’s photos are some of my favorite of myself — not just because of the excellence of his work, and how beautiful he made me feel, but also because of the wonderful memories we created during the shoots themselves. The quality of Taylor’s work is truly unmatched, and during a session I am always dreaming of the next time we get to shoot together!"

"Taylor is a magician. I’ve never felt a level of comfort, safety, and creativity in a photo shoot like I did with him. It was a seamless experience. I felt so encouraged from beginning to end and ended up with so many photos I couldn’t pick! It was a great problem to have, and I’m still finding photos I love even years later. Definitely choose to work with him; I will in again in a heartbeat. 10/10."

"Working with Taylor is simply amazing. He captured some of my favorite photos, and I couldn’t be more grateful for him. I did an outdoor shoot with him, and he was incredibly creative while also making me feel extremely comfortable and confident, to the point where I felt I could share my own ideas as well. Together, we created beautiful and meaningful pictures. I loved the experience so much that I asked him to take my new professional headshots, and I got booked right away! He is a joy to work with in the studio and was able to capture the version of myself that I wanted others to see. It’s hard to find a professional like Taylor, and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He goes above and beyond, and he will not disappoint. You’re in for a treat!"

"Taylor is such a wonderful and fun dance photographer to work with. He really took the time and put lots of effort into making sure he captured my best angles for the poses I had in mind, and he was also very helpful and creative when coming up with fun pose ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of myself. He’s such a fun person to chat with during the shoot as well, and I loved getting helpful tips every now and then to make sure I was making the best lines I possibly could. The pictures turned out great because of Taylor’s talent and precision. I felt I could trust his vision and expertise during the whole process."

~ Emily Luria | Ballet Idaho Company Member

~ Kelsey Smith | Los Angeles-based actress


"I’ve been lucky to work with Taylor a couple of times with different photo shoots. From dance shots to portraits and head shots, it’s always been an enjoyable and fun experience. Not only is he extremely creative and has a great eye as to what works and what looks good, he creates a safe space and collaborative work environment. I truly felt connected and a part of the process, and most importantly, he made me feel good about myself and safe in a vulnerable place. He also communicates everything so well. I felt really nervous going in, and he made me feel calm and confident, which came through in the photography. I cannot recommend working with him enough, I can’t wait for my next session with him!"

~ Lance Barker | Anastasia Broadway National Tour

“I loved working with Taylor. He creates such a safe and non-judgmental environment to be free and explore. He helped me gain more confidence being in front of a camera after our session together”  

~ Victoria Madden | Anastasia Broadway National Tour

“This may sound cheesy, but when I received the proofing images from my session with Taylor, I got emotional. It was the first time the person staring back at me felt confident, attractive, and talented. There were so many shots where I said to myself, “Wow, that’s me.” That is what makes shooting with Taylor so special: he has the rare talent of capturing a person's purest essence. He makes you feel seen. He creates a warm and relaxed environment that allows you to play, create, and be completely yourself. After a session with Taylor, you will walk away with something special: a headshot that feels like you. I cannot recommend him enough!”

~ Peter Surace | NYC-based actor

Taylor is a great collaborator and an extremely efficient and effective communicator. There is an ease to shooting with him that is no doubt an effect of his affability, generosity of spirit, and openness. I felt very comfortable in front of his camera, and the shots that we produced from our photoshoots have served as essential tools for my professional branding and social media growth. I recommend him for lifestyle shoots, dance photography, headshots, and artistic portraits.
