MY vision
Life is full of so many wonderful things and I embrace all it offers—the good and bad, the beautiful and ugly. I believe hard times shape and refine us, making the good times even more meaningful. I love people wholeheartedly and believe that each of us has a beautiful story worth documenting. Life is more than a checklist of milestones and vacations—it's the everyday, ordinary bits of our life are truly most significant and impactful. Those are the things I crave and desire to photograph—ordinary, everyday moments.
I have a deep desire to capture your true essence and preserve a piece of your wonderful life through visual storytelling. While working together, I take time to hear you story, listen to the things that matter most, and strive to capture those details in a photograph for you to savor for a lifetime.
You are more than just another session to me—you are beautiful and unique and so very lovely! I would be honored to capture a part of your story in this wild, beautiful life.
Love your story, it’s a good one!
How to Book
To get started, send me an email (at maetaylorphotography@gmail.com) with your information and we'll schedule a call to discuss your vision and session ideas. We'll work closely to create your perfect session. I'll email you all of the details.
Next, a signed contract and a retainer fee is due to book your date. The second installment is due one week before your session.
You'll receive a sneak peek from your session within 48 hours and your full, online gallery about 3 weeks later (usually sooner).
All of the edited, high-resolution images are included in your session and are yours to keep! While it’s nice to have digital images, it’s more important to make prints and have something tangible to preserve your memories. Because of this, most of my sessions include prints (see the package details for specifics).
Premium Session | $1,950
Think of a premium storytelling session as a lifestyle documentary gallery. These sessions are perfect for anyone who wants to preserve a glimpse of their real, beautiful life as it is in this season. Together we’ll capture an authentic view of a day-in-the-life of your family. The possibilities for these sessions are endless: extended family photos, a morning at home, a walk through your favorite park, an evening preparing dinner, you name it!
This session can also be used for micro-events* (30 people or less) like birthday parties, family reunions, baby showers, or graduation parties. When in doubt, just ask!

Weddings start at $3,275
Congratulations, bride-and-groom-to-be! I love weddings; they’re at the top of “My Favorite Things” list.
Since weddings are deeply personal events, I try to get to know all of my couples personally. Before I book any wedding, I invite you and your fiancé over for coffee and pastries (usually cinnamon rolls). I want to hear your love story and the vision for your wedding day. Once we decide whether we’re a good fit, I’ll help you plan everything photo-related for your special day.
Let's have coffee!
What's INCLUDED
Each wedding package includes:
• prints (varies with package)
• heirloom glass photo box
• high-resolution digital images via online gallery
• USB of wedding images
