I love a mix of quiet, candid moments and the drama of things more planned out - I couldn't pick one if you asked me, which is why I think my style caters perfectly to those wanting to do things a little differently. I thrive on the mood and theatrics as much as the calm and serene, adapting to fit the moment and allowing things to unfold unintrusively, while knowing when to offer gentle guidance or in-depth posing.


Documentary meets editorial, with a splash of witchcraft. Photography for the creatives and wild at heart.

 

🖤 LOVE Letters 🖤

Ethereal medieval-style portrait in a forest with sunlight streaming through trees.

Tay just has a way of making me look and feel more beautiful than I could have imagined. Her creative eye really makes magic and she makes shooting so comfortable and fun. Would recommend her to ANYONE.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! From 2 people who struggle to take photos together, you made the photo process so easy and enjoyable. Your work is extraordinary, and we haven't even seen the full gallery yet! Your incredible work on our highlights reel to get it back to us in the short turn around time so we could share with our extended loved ones is something we are extremely grateful for. Everyone we have shared our sneak peeks and highlights reel with have been in awe of your talent!

I’ve worked with Tay over a dozen times in the past 2 years, and absolutely every experience is magical. Tay works across genres and styles to tell the most amazing stories through photography, and many of my favourite photos ever were taken by her. I could not praise her talent or what she’s like to work with more, and I absolutely can’t wait until the next time I get to work with her again <3

I have been working with Tay the last 10+ years and she has always been my go to editor and photographer for my creative ideas. She manages to perfectly execute each vision and bring it to reality!

A romantic wedding moment captured in a lush garden setting with fall foliage.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Tay during my elopement. Tay was amazing and so happy to discuss and work with us before the big day and captured EVERY important moment and made the whole experience so great and made my wife and I feel so comfortable throughout. Our photos were completed and back to us so quickly after the event and I still share them with everyone even 2 years later. I can’t wait to work with Tay again in the future for other big milestones and events
