I'm an Atlanta Native (but Midwesterner at heart), photographer of littles, wannabe fitness buff, and crazy busy mom to three kids ages 11, 7, and 4.

Most days you'll find me hanging out in athleisure, designing storytelling family albums and dreaming up gallery-style memory walls for my clients' homes from my cozy studio; dry shampoo'd hair in a messy pony, Dax Shepherd's podcast on blast. I'm a tardy carpool driver, Lunchable-packing, dinosaur nuggets for dinner kinda mom with a knack for last minute text-message party invitations. My friends tell me I'm a soft place to land with a quick wit and a blatant hatred for all things laundry and high-maintenance.
" I BELIEVE LIFE IS MEANT TO BE LIVED, CARBS ARE MEANT
TO BE EATEN, AND OUR STORIES ARE MEANT TO LIVE IN PRINT.”
My photography style is the best of raw and elegant wrapped into one. Fresh, yet classic. unposed, but directed. Given the choice, I would always choose to photograph a baby snuggled in mom's arms rather than alone. As a mom myself, I understand the desire to freeze time while capturing clean, happy images ... but I also embrace the messy, because if we're honest with ourselves, raising littles IS messy and I'm choosing to remember ALL of it.
THE CARRAWAY CREW
I created my portrait experience around what I, myself, as a
busy mom of three would want.
It's no secret that the days are long and the years are short; but are the days really long enough? I've heard time and time again from clients and friends that having family photos taken has always felt more like a chore than an important and memorable experience. That not only does it take weeks of prep work and thought, but what inevitably follows is years and years of getting those frozen snippets of time printed being shoved to the bottom of the to-do list. When you work with me, that job goes very close to the top of mine. And while I'm at it, I'm dedicated to making the front-end of our time together as seamless and dare I say, enjoyable, as possible.

I get by with a little help from my friends
Meet the glam Team
I encourage all of my clients to plan on having hair & makeup (HMU) done prior to their portrait sessions. Not only does it elevate the look of your images, but it is one less thing for you to stress over. I take care of everything from scheduling and coordinating you you can just show up. Members receive this service complimentary for their first session.
MP is the face behind Beauty by MP Taylor and she is a dream to work with. While she stays busy working the wedding circuit on the weekends, she loves pampering my mamas before newborn and milestone sessions in the studio on weekday mornings.
Julia is a top artist with Vigilante Cosmetics and has been working alongside me and my mamas since 2018. To know her is to love her and she is an absolute beauty magician. She knows how to make mamas feel their best by providing hair and makeup services at the studio or in the comfort of your home. For in-town clients planning outdoor portrait sessions, Julia is our go-to so that you can skip the studio and come beautified straight from your house.
