One-on-one photography mentorship & coaching sessions
FOR VISUAL ARTISTS SERVING WEDDING, ELOPEMENT, & PORTRAIT CLIENTS
CALIFORNIA BASED – AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE
Feel supported while building a well-loved life – on your terms.
You’re working to capture honest imagery of life and love for your clients.
It can feel like the absolute coolest responsibility in the world. But it’s also a heavy one – especially if you’re sensing pressure to do business a certain way. Or experiencing doubts because you’re following others who make it look so easy.
That’s why the company you keep matters.
You’re doing something not many have the creativity and courage to do. Quality people in your corner means more validation of that, coupled with more support to raise up and sustain your own business – through the highs and lows (because TBH, they’re inevitable).
Let me be one of those people for you through my one-on-one photography mentorship and coaching services.

TOPICS
Howdy, I’m Tayler
And I’m here to keep it real – no filter – with you. Because making this business look easy and romanticized 100% of the time is way overrated. Yes, I quit my corporate job and became a full-time wedding, elopement, and lifestyle photographer. And I’m not shy about saying I’m obsessed with what I do.
But it didn’t happen overnight. It’s taken patience, 80-hour work weeks, and discipline to do it right. Plus, a few admired photographers who said “yes” to showing me the ropes. Now, you can count on me to show up and serve you in the same way. As your photography mentor, I’ll exchange what I’ve learned while investing in your success, so you can feel more encouraged and excited to continue pursuing your creative career.

I’ll source a real couple for our session together. You just have to show up and enjoy having the space to practice and learn alongside me. Walk away with increased confidence in directing with creativity, lighting, composition, and capturing honest imagery of what makes your clients feel most alive.
-
I would have to say yes – 100%. There’s always room to increase your knowledge, develop more accountability, and grow your community. A photography mentorship with me covers all three of the above – no matter where you’re at. That’s why I only focus on one-on-one opportunities with limited availability. I tailor the experience and conversations to your needs and where you want to go.

Glad you asked! Since I traded the wedding planner role to become a wedding photographer in 2017, I’ve experienced my fair share of learning lessons. I also worked my ass off to get to where I’m at – practicing, seeking advice from experts (like my mom who’s a fine arts photographer), shadowing fellow photographers; you name it. I’ve done it. So ask me anything – professional and personal. I’ll be transparent with you.
I’m also a natural at creating a safe space so we can honestly and openly share our struggles. I want to get to know you for who you are. Share some relatable stories and giggles. And see you succeed.

I do! While payment is due in full at the time of booking a 2-hour coaching session, I offer payment plans for mentees of the in-depth experiences – coaching session & live shoot and 4-month mentorship. A 30% nonrefundable deposit is due upon acceptance of your application, and from there, we can create a custom payment plan that supports you and your needs.
