Taya is amazing! She is well prepared, full of great ideas, enthusiastic, and very talented in this field. She took time to prepare the set, adjust angles, play with light, and accommodate several different settings. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is interested in high quality photography.

She responded promptly to my inquiries. She was able to get my 17 month old granddaughter to smile and we got some excellent photos.

Taya was very accommodating to my needs. She took my suggestions and provided her professional opinion that helped me with some great posses. She was willing to go to the site I wanted and work with the environment. She offered a great price that I could not find anywhere else. Though it took awhile to get the photos it was well worth the wait. They turned out amazing and she was willing to do some touch ups after the photos were edited. We even had fun time as I was doing two different outfit changes. I will be recommending Taya to my friends and family in the future .Also any other projects I may have in the future!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With a new customer I always let them tell me their vision and what they are looking for so I know exactly what they want. I then answer questions and make scheduling that works well. I want to make new acquaintances at ease and comfortable with me and the whole process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have completed a year of photography in high school then continued on in college for the last couple years with portrait and commercial photography being two of my focuses. I also spent a summer studying abroad in the Czech Republic and Austria
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I always loved looking through old pictures and remembering fun times I had forgotten. Eventually I moved away from painting and started carrying a small camera around with me around the house and family trips. I'd laugh with my siblings over funny pictures. Then I was introduced to more of the art side of photography and I loved it.
