LET'S TALK

"loving yourself is the simplest most rebellious revolution you'll ever be apart of. 

“One day, all your children will have is pictures of you.
Make sure you’re in them. No matter what your hair looks like, your makeup, or your body, they won’t care about any of that, they’ll just want to see you.”

MOST REBELLIOUS REVOLUTION

Hi, I'm Taylor!

LET'S GET STARTED

My love for photography grew as I traveled on long road trips, hiked mountains, camped on dust filled roads. When I started my family in my hometown of St. Charles, IL I knew I wanted more than just chasing sunsets. I wanted to capture my daughter as she tumbled through the grass; her smiles, her laughter. The way her father throws her into the sky as my heart skips a beat, waiting for the catch. I knew I wanted to help others remember that same feeling, the emotion behind the hugs, the meaningful glances, the skinned knees. Our lives pass in a blink of an eye, but I can help you press pause.


I fell in love with the romanticism of freezing time with a photograph

Hi, and thank you so much for being here, for wanting to capture your own families memories! Wild Roses is owned by me, Taylor, and inspired by my own daughter and desire to remember every detail, every feeling of watching her grow. Our family is full of love and I welcome you into it.

“We must teach our children to smell the earth, to taste the rain, to touch the wind, to see things grow, to hear the sun rise and night fall – to care.”
-John Cleal 

Taylor did an amazing job photographing our family. She took the time to ask thorough questions so that she could make sure that every family members need’s were met. You can tell that this isn’t just a job but a passion for her. It comes across in every moment and her wonderful demeanor is contagious. She put all 3 of our teenagers at ease and she brought each one of their unique personalities out in photographic form. She was laughing and joking with all of us almost immediately. She truly captured the essence of our family.
