BOOK YOUR SESSION


Think of me as your family’s visual historian — here to help you save the good stuff. Not the “everyone smile at the camera” kind of photos, but the real ones: the way your people move, laugh, lean into each other, and live together right now.


These aren't just photos for your Christmas card or for the "Gram"- these are the visual representation of your family- full of the things that are most important to YOU to remember and record. These are photos full of movement, laughter, comfort, and the love you share as a family. They are genuine, honest, and not manufactured.

These images aren’t just for today. They’re for years from now — photographs your children will someday recognize themselves in. A visual record of your family’s life.


If you want to preserve this season just as it is — imperfect, meaningful, and yours — I’d love to document it with you.

Hi there, I'm Taylor

Document what your memory cannot with a photo session tailored to your family. Whether you'd like to document your everyday life at home or explore a location of your choice in Sussex County, or Morris County New Jersey, I will capture unposed and relational photos that honestly reflect who you and your family are.

Taylor was amazing! Not only are the pictures beautiful and flawless but she captured our family perfectly. Our sweet boy was very hesitant but because Taylor took time to make sure he was comfortable, he ended up doing great! I would highly recommend EVERYONE have their family captured by Taylor! She gained a life long client with us!
