Kansas City Sweetheart & Engagement Sessions

Life is too short to not be in the damn photos.

Looking at photos from my own and my family's childhood is one of my favorite things to do. I love to hear stories, see who I looked like at that age and can I tell you something? I've never, ever, focused on the things I expect.

I'm swooning over the way my grandparents looked at each other, I'm loving my twin siblings pulling each other's hair. I'm living in the moment. That's all I ask of you. Be in the moment. As you are.

no time to listen to me yap?

How all this works

& what to expect next

The Inquiry

You’ll fill out the inquiry form either below or on the contact page. I’ll respond within 72 hours where you get to pick how we move forward. Some folks wanna hop on a call. Others would rather exchange a few e-mails and make it official from there. 

The convo

We'll have a talk about what you're thinking, what's important to you, and when you'd like your session to be. I photograph Tuesday-Thursday at the time surrounding sunrise or sunset. In order to officially book your date, you'll need to pay 50% and sign your contract.

It's official

I'll send you over a form for you to tell me more about you and your loved one(s). We'll plan your session and then it's just countdown to showtime. We'll keep in touch if you have any questions and you'll have all your important session info available in your portal!

Michael + rueben

“There was no hard sell; she let her philosophy and past projects speak for themselves.

We were completely happy with the results and felt we ended up with a brilliant visual documentation of our day, including the must-have shots as well as surprising ones of moments we may have missed if she had not captured them. We were thrilled with everything about Tay and would recommend her to grooms, brides, brides and grooms, and anyone planning an event that they want beautifully documented.”

Frequently Asked Questions

I photograph anyone who wants to be photographed by me! I am queer/pansexual & know that a huge struggle can be finding people who feel safe enough to work with. I’d like to remove one of those barriers, so I am first and foremost an inclusive business owner. If I seem like your cup of tea, I’m excited to meet you.

I'm pretty damn fast. You get sneak peeks within 24 hours & your full gallery within 14 days. And nope, I'm not using AI. I just was born with no patience and an excitement for what I love.

I photograph sessions Tuesdays-Thursdays in the hours surrounding sunrise or sunset. Weekends are generally reserved for time with my family and require an additional $300 fee if you would like to book on those days.

There is no real answer here, because it truly depends. I never will leave out an image you'd love. I get rid of blinks, sneezes, & repeats. Otherwise, you're getting an unlimited view of the day. However, you're more than welcome to check out some full galleries so you can get a good idea of what to expect when you inquire.
