Mackenzie and Grant have been sweet-hearts for as long as their family can remember…to have the privilege of capturing their wedding made me feel important indeed. Because photos were so important to them, we really spent a good hour shooting along the waterfront. I LOVE when brides give me this kind of freedom…the photos always […]
Kailie drove up from Dallas, OR and walked into the studio with the most gorgeous smile. While going through her wardrobe she explained to me, “I don’t want that pouty face that a lot of the seniors do…it’s just not me! I love smiling!” She is just Full. Of. LIFE. I loved having the privilege of […]
If you’re hoping to put together a styled wedding shoot complete with wedding dresses and you don’t have a local resource, check out some of the online options.

I’ve been struggling to remember WHY I do what I do. Yes, I love taking photos and creating beautiful imagery- but anyone can do that. What makes me stand out in my field? What is my underlying passion, the underlying mission behind it all? Thanks to my friend and fellow photographer Bianca, I sat down […]
Besides weddings and engagements, etc I knew that you shoot fashion images for boutiques. Anyways, I want to do that in San Diego. I’ve shot for a jewelry line and boutique, but I was wondering how you approached a store owner with your ideas. And how exactly you pitched the idea, and figured out cost. […]

I absolutely love your work and any advice you have would be greatly appreciated! -Nervous Poser That all-too-familiar moment of terror when the couple is looking at you with that “I feel awkward” expression on their faces. Panic is clawing at your gutt […]

I’m not sure which lightroom and photoshop to invest in and I was wondering if you would have any suggestions. Thank you – Lost […]
I’m sitting here in my pink leopard long-johns, hoping to find some grain of inspiration to write. It’s the quiet season. The mounds of editing have dissipated, all neatly delivered via PASS, and I’m staring at my empty camera cards wondering what I should be doing. To avoid complete photo hybernation, write a list of […]
When shooting families, I go big or go home. You need that long focal length to provide separation between your clients and the background. I try to shoot 85mm or higher for beautiful, classic family portraits. 85mm 1.4 – 1/800 f2.2 ISO 320 85mm 1/1000 f2.2. ISO 320 85mm 1/800 f2.2. ISO 320 70-200mm, […]

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

Long before I was engaged, I knew I wanted Christa Taylor Photography to capture the special moments of my wedding. She more than met our expectations, and seldom a month goes by without somebody telling us how gorgeous our wedding pictures turned out!
Working with Christa is like finding some awesome girlfriend who completely gets you and can show you the beauty in whatever project you're undertaking. I recommend her to every bride I work with! Thank you, Christa, for your incredible work!

Christa is absolutely PHENOMENAL! My husband and I are beyond blessed to have had her capture our day! She was so great at directing people kindly and having fun too! She's a blast and we enjoyed the day more because of her! We loved getting to know her and she even had us to her home the week after our wedding for a brief photo shoot since the weather had been bad on the wedding day...she really went above and WAY beyond the call of a photographer and became our friend! She's the type we'd schedule a photo shoot with simply to see her and catch up!! Her baby is the cutest most joyful girl just like her momma! 💕There are not words to reccomend Christa highly enough! 💕We love you Christa!!
