Hello, I'm taylore
owner of pd collective
Currently located in Atlanta, GA, I am passionate about capturing couples, families, and the meaningful moments that make up your story.
My work is rooted in storytelling, focusing on real connection, natural emotion, and the quiet in-between moments that often become the most cherished memories. I’m drawn to authenticity over perfection, creating images that feel honest, timeless, and deeply personal.
I started taking photos from the sidelines, and over time, family and friends began asking me to capture moments for them. That’s when I realized it had become more than just a hobby, it was a true passion.
Since then, I’ve grown my photography around people, connection, and preserving memories that matter most.
Whether it’s a couple at golden hour or a family simply being together, my goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel alive, emotional, and true to you images you can look back on and feel all over again.
My approach
If you're anything like me, being in front of the camera can feel awkward, uncomfortable, and a little overwhelming. I get it, that’s why my goal is to create a fun, relaxed experience where you can simply be yourself. I'll guide you every step of the way, keeping things natural and easy so you never have to wonder what to do. My biggest hope is that you leave your session feeling confident, empowered, and like you had an absolute blast, and had so much fun that you forgot you were even posing in front of a camera.

Experience
Working with pd collective
When you work with me, you're getting more than a photographer, you're getting someone who is genuinely invested in making your experience enjoyable from start to finish. I know being in front of a camera can feel vulnerable, which is why I prioritize creating a laid-back, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My approach is a balance of guidance and authenticity. I'll help with posing, prompts, and direction while leaving plenty of room for natural moments to unfold, and will always take the time to ask what YOU want.
Throughout the process, I'm here to answer questions, offer styling guidance, help with location selection, and make sure every detail feels effortless. During your session, expect lots of encouragement, laughter, and a relaxed atmosphere that takes the pressure off. There’s no need to worry about what to do with your hands or whether you're "photogenic," I’ve got you covered.
My clients often tell me that what they expected to be nerve-wracking turned out to be one of the most fun parts of the experience. My goal is for you to feel seen, celebrated, and confident, while creating images that feel genuine to who you are. By the end of our time together, I hope it feels less like a photoshoot and more like spending time with a friend who just happens to have a camera.
