portraits of the artist by: Zach Chiarizzio and Bill Manning

My name is Taylar. Fast facts: I was born and raised in Nashville and am currently a resident there with my dog Fern, my cat Biscuits, and my sweet kiddo. I love literature, french cinema, travel, cats, and strong black coffee.

This I know, more certainly and more completely than any other truth: I was put on this Earth to share the joy of human connection and tell brilliant stories through film. I hope I have the opportunity to tell yours.

My photos and my clients are treated with great intention, perception, and care. I’m proud to create and deliver images that are truly unique and irreplaceable. The stakes are high when you only have one opportunity to get it right. The weight of that responsibility is never lost on me. Every missed shot is a memory lost. Every shot wasted is time and money wasted.

I’m not here to waste time. I’m here to immortalize it.
