I’m Tayla — a Maine-based wedding and portrait photographer documenting life with a refined, editorial approach and a deep appreciation for honest connection.

My work is rooted in the belief that photographs should feel as meaningful decades from now as they do today. The fleeting, in-between moments, the quiet glances, the unspoken emotions—these are the details that matter most, and the ones I am most intentional about preserving.

Before photography, I worked as a nurse in the emergency department. That chapter of my life shaped the way I see people—with empathy, awareness, and a deep respect for how quickly moments can pass. It’s what led me here, and it’s what continues to influence the way I document your story—with care, intuition, and presence.

Losing my mother at a young age gave me a lasting understanding of how meaningful photographs can become over time. It’s shaped the way I approach this work—with intention, care, and a deep appreciation for preserving the moments that may one day mean everything.

My approach is calm, thoughtful, and unobtrusive. I’ll gently guide when needed, but never overtake a moment. The goal is for your experience to feel effortless—so you can be fully present, knowing everything meaningful is being captured with intention.

At home, I’m grounded by my husband, our two daughters, and our dogs—the people who remind me daily what matters most. They are the reason I value photographs not just as images, but as legacy.

While I’m based in Maine, I regularly document weddings and sessions across New England and destinations beyond.
