I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and loving husband. I wouldn’t want to go through life […]

Mt Hood Snow Anniversary Shoot: Stephen and Anna

      One too many times I have let my camera drop from my eye, only to miss the moment by a split second. The tear being wiped away. The laugh. The wink. Moments happen in the blink of an eye and you have to be ready- anticipating them. Seeing the moments before they […]

How to Anticipate Your Photographs

“We all work for an audience, whether we are aware of it or not. Some perform to please parents, others to impress peers, other to win over superiors, while many do what they do strictly to live up to their own standards. All of these audiences are inadequate. Working for them alone will lead to […]

Luxe Event Productions Hosts Christa-Taylor Photography

Boudoir photography. Being a wedding photographer is easy- being a boudoir photographer is a whole different story. Not only do you have to be very discreet during the session, you can’t even really show the images AFTER the session. How do you advertise something you can show? For me, Word of mouth has been the […]

McMenamins Edgefield Engagement Published: Glamour and Grace Blog

  It’s no surprise that the photos that grab my heart as a photographer are often different than those the client gravitates to. What I’m looking for is FEELING. EMOTION. STORY. PASSION. I was a pianist. I was a painter.  I was a fashion designer.  I am a PASSIONATE, intense person. What inspires me is […]

How Do You Create A Photography Payment Plan

What comes to mind when you think of fine art wedding photography in Portland OR? Well, I’ll tell you. Film. Film, film, and more film. Shooting fine art wedding photos seems to always happen on film. Which is why I bought my first film camera 2 months ago. Yikes! Yes, I have forged into 35mm […]

Fine Art Wedding Photography Portland Or

I intentionally spaced these two blog posts out (the double engagement) as it’s so important to see them as two separate love stories. Yes, they will share the same wedding day and a lot of the same wedding day memories, but their lives are still individual stories along similar, but separate paths. The story begins […]

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.

"Christa, you are such a delight to work with. You bring so much energy and direction to a photo shoot. The photographs you take, are truly a reflection of your talent and passion in photography."

"Christa is incredible. She really gets to know you, makes you feel comfortable and takes fabulous photos. Christa took our engagement photos, did a boudoir photo shoot for kate and did our wedding. We couldn't be happier with her.

"Christa is professional, fun, creative and in touch with her clients. She makes everyone look and feel beautiful. We could not be happier with her and her work."

work.."

KATE & CASEY

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!

Cassie & Jed

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!!
