A little throwback to what might still be one of my favorite sessions ever. 🥰 Now they’re married and welcoming a baby in November! So excited for these two and all the love, laughter, and adventures that parenthood will bring!

Hi fam! Wow, it’s been a minute. I just wanted to take a moment to apologize for being so quiet. Life has been so busy lately! I’ve been spending lots of time with my family, helping my husband with his business, and soaking up every second at home with our daughter, truly such a joy. “Thankful” doesn’t even begin to describe how blessed I feel.

And to my wonderful, loving, hardworking husband, thank you for making this possible. 🤍

There is something so incredibly sacred about the threshold of a home birth. The quiet strength, the familiar surroundings, and that first breath taken in the very place where life will unfold. 🤎
I am looking to document a few more of these powerful stories and am currently seeking families planning an in-home birth to help expand my portfolio in this space.
If you or someone you know is expecting and would love to have these once-in-a-lifetime moments captured through a natural, cozy lens, I’m offering a special introductory portfolio rate for a limited number of sessions.
I’d be honored to be a fly on the wall for your most transformative day. DM me to chat about your vision!

I’ve been a little quiet lately as I navigate the wild, transformational journey of postpartum. It’s the hardest, holiest work I’ve ever done.
learning to be a mom, a wife, and a friend in a whole new way.

But I’m missing a huge piece of myself: Photography.

I miss my clients and the magic we create together. To celebrate getting back into the swing of things, I’m offering a special: Book any 2026 date for just $50.

I’m learning that my best is enough today, and today, my best wants to get back to doing what I love. DM to grab a spot! — only keeping this open until Saturday!

It has been a little while since I have shared a proper introduction, and since so much has changed behind the scenes, this feels like the perfect time to reintroduce myself and the heart behind the lens.

If you have been here from the beginning, you knew me as Taylor Lee Photography. I started this journey in 2018 as a fun hobby, and it grew into a part time business in 2022. As I have grown as a woman, a wife, and now a mother, my vision for this work has grown as well.

Kalea is my daughter’s name, and it means full of joy. That is exactly what I want this business to be. Not just a service, but a ministry and a reflection of the joy and provision the Lord has placed in my life. None of this would be possible without God’s provision, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to use my gifts in this way. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly loved, seen, and comfortable in front of the camera.

When you book a session with me, you do not have to perform. You do not have to know how to pose. You do not have to rush. You do not have to be perfect. I will guide you so you never feel uncomfortable, but I am not here to overdo it. My sessions are calm, efficient, and enjoyable. I want it to feel natural, like you are simply being yourselves and I am there to capture it.

When I am not behind the camera, you can usually find me spending time with my husband, our seven month old daughter, and all of our pets. I also help my husband at his business from time to time.

Let’s be honest. There are photographers everywhere these days. I am fully aware of that. But I have never been one to compete, compare, or try to outsell someone by being louder. You will never see me tearing someone else down to earn a dollar. There is room for all of us. I do not try to show off. I do not pretend to be something I am not. I genuinely love what I do. I love documenting connection. I love the in between moments. I love giving families something they will hold onto long after the season has passed.

In a world full of photographers, the fact that so many of you come back year after year, that you trust me, support me, and send your friends and family my way, means more than I can say. Thank you for allowing me to live this dream while still being the mom and wife I want to be. Thank you for choosing me. I am so grateful. Here is to another year of keeping it simple and capturing what truly matters.

Hi everyone,

Our daughter has been fighting a very scary case of croup. We’ve come close to hospital admission multiple times over the last few days, and as her primary caregiver, my focus has to be entirely on her recovery. To add to the chaos, I’m now starting to come down with something myself. I appreciate my clients more than words can say, but right now, I need to put my family first.

• Existing Galleries: If I am currently editing your session, I will be in touch personally regarding your delivery timeline.
• Inquiries: Please expect a delay in email and DM responses.

I’m looking forward to this passing quickly and getting back to capturing your memories soon. I am so ready for Spring and healthier days ahead! Thank you for your grace and understanding.

This weekend was a difficult one for me. I take great pride in my work and I’m very intentional and goal-driven when it comes to my business. When I set a goal, I work hard and trust that God will guide my steps as I strive to achieve it.

I had Valentine mini sessions scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, with five bookings. Five! This was such a blessing and a huge milestone for me, as it was my very first mini session that required two separate days because of the interest. I was filled with gratitude and excitement, yet things didn’t unfold the way I had prayerfully planned.

The items I needed for my setup didn’t arrive when they were supposed to, my last-minute setup didn’t turn out the way I had envisioned, and I had to reach out to my clients on very short notice to see if they still wanted to move forward or preferred a refund. On top of that, some families had to cancel due to sick little ones. By the end of it all, I felt completely defeated and overwhelmed.

Still, I’m reminding myself that God’s plans are greater than my own, and even in moments of disappointment, He is working in ways I can’t yet see.

Moral of the story: I’ve been walking through postpartum depression, and while many of you may not know that, your kindness, patience, and respect have meant more to me than I can put into words. Because of the grace you showed me during a time that didn’t go as planned, I want to extend that same grace back to you.

As a small way of saying thank you, I will be offering a free mini session to all clients who booked with me. This is my way of showing appreciation for those who showed up, supported me, and extended understanding despite the circumstances. Your compassion is truly a reflection of God’s love, and I am so grateful. Please reach out for more details on this

As an appreciation for the rest of my clients, if you book session with me before Friday, you will receive 25% off your session. I hope you all understand how much you all mean to me. I will always make it right.

Blessings
Taylor
