2018 for Hey Tay – and honestly for me has been a wild ride. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I went through a rebrand, going from “Tay Daliese Photo” to “Hey Tay” encouraging any and all people to message me by using this and people still won’t. (Please, I’m dying here. Say it!! I did it for a reason!!!)

I made a lot of changes within my business so that I can move forward with eventually making photography my sole income. I *attempted* to have a better work/life balance and although I didn’t always succeed, I made some big steps in valuing my clients and my own time.

I leaned into my weddings + boudoir brand and photographed 19 amazing couples + 15 amazing weddings while also working in the IT field during the week. That doesn’t count the 30+ boudoir clients and the few repeat families I saw this year.

This business isn’t easy or consistent but it’s amazing. Taking photographs you know will outlive you is a completely humbling experience that I couldn’t be any more grateful for.

With that I leave with you my favorite images from every single wedding I photographed this year and every couple I photographed. I love you all and be sure to tell your friends in 2019 so that we can keep this train rolling!
