The Heart Behind The Camera
Hello
I’m Alana!
Newborn Baby Whisperer
Cake Smash Co-ordinator
Toddler Wrangler
I’ve been Photographing Newborns, Babies, and Cake-Covered Toddlers for over 15 years, and in that time I’ve Perfected Two things: Creating Gorgeous Images and Surviving purely on Caffeine.
Alana Taylor
My ADHD brain usually runs like a browser with 87 tabs open — website design on one, blog writing on another, client emails scattered across a few more, six tabs dedicated to researching new cake smash themes, three tabs open for Shein outfits I’ll 100% need, Two tabs trying to diagnose why my houseplants keep dying, and a random YouTube tutorial on how to fold fitted sheets (that I’ll never finish watching).
So Basically, I’m a hot mess… but Im a hot mess who delivers stunning photos. 😂
YES I love my Job, YES Im chaotic, YES, I lose my phone ten times a day but I’ll never forget to capture the love, joy, and silliness that captures your family (The Chaos and All)
Im cheeky, kind, perfectly imperfect, a dash of crazy fun. With just the right mix of patience and humour to keep every session fun and stress-free — but that’s exactly what makes me the Photographer you want in your corner (and behind your camera).
Here’s the thing though — all that energy, chaos, and “oh my god, did I turn the oven off!” brain is exactly what makes my sessions fun, relaxed, and full of laughter. I’m loving and caring (babies come first, always), your friendly chaos-coordinator (someone has to wrangle the chaos), and completely dedicated to making sure you walk away with images you’ll treasure forever.

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.
