Hey I'm Tay, the homebody of all homebodies.


Somewhere between my Southern Californian roots and Pacific Northwest upbringing, I was forged into a passionate artist and lover of the cozy things in life! Professionally, I have been in the photography game for almost 5 years but made it a hobby back in 2013 when my son was born. At the time, our family wasn't in the position to invest in family or milestone portrait sessions so I decided to take it upon myself to learn to document my son's upbringing with my Canon T3i. For my 20th birthday, I asked family members for an adobe subscription so I could learn the ins and outs of Lightroom & Photoshop. Over the years, I spent countless hours photographing my family and fell in love with the craft. My family was supportive every step of the way, without them, I am not me.


At my core, I am a reflection of the nostalgic love that I was given by my Great Grandmother, Doris Mae. Doris was a passionate creator who loved Olives as snacks (also, in her gin martinis) and her birth flower is the timeless September Aster. O&A is a tribute to the unconditional nostalgic love she gave me as a young girl. Due to this gift of love, I see her in everything I create and everywhere I go. Deep down, I am grandma's girl forever. When I am not documenting love stories or filling my head with ungodly amounts of educational text, you can find me in my kitchen cooking a meal from scratch, baking sourdough, wandering around in the woods, making miniatures, listening to a Romantasy audiobook (my real home is in the night court), cozy gaming or snuggling with my soul cat, Josephine.
