Hello
CHAOS COORDINATOR
BABY WHISPERER
SERIAL MULTITASKER
I’ve been photographing newborns, babies, and cake-smeared toddlers for over 15 years - which means I’ve mastered two things: Creating Beautiful, Emotion-Filled Images… and Functioning on Minimal Sleep and Maximum Caffeine.
Alana Taylor
My ADHD brain runs like a browser that’s given up trying to keep up — 87 tabs open, 12 frozen, and one definitely playing music I can’t find. At any moment, I’m designing a website, replying to client emails, researching new cake smash themes, buying props I definitely don’t need (but need), and watching a YouTube tutorial about folding fitted sheets that I will, without question, never finish.
I lose my phone ten times a day, forget why I walked into rooms, and sometimes find hair ties in my camera bag that haven’t seen daylight since 2021 — but I’ll never forget the details that matter. The tiny toes, the sleepy smiles, the frosting-covered giggles — the moments that make your family’s story yours.
I’m cheeky, kind, perfectly imperfect, and powered by equal parts love, sarcasm, and mild chaos. I’ll make your baby laugh, your toddler cooperate (eventually), and your session feel fun, relaxed, and completely real.
Because at the end of the day — behind the noise, the caffeine, and the slightly unhinged energy — there’s a photographer who adores what she does, loves every baby she meets, and will always capture your chaos beautifully.

A SNAPSHOT OF OUR STORY
Each One is a Reminder that Time Moves Fast - But Memories Don’t Have To...
In the blink of an eye, the newborn stretch becomes a toddler run, the gummy smile becomes a cheeky grin. It’s a quiet reminder of how fleeting time truly is - and how a single image can hold an entire chapter of your story. These photographs aren’t just pictures… they’re time preserved, emotions remembered, and love made visible.
