I'll go first!

Here's a little about me- let me preface that my love for taking photos roots from my passion for connections, shared moments between people. So naturally, I’m a big time people person. Hugs over handshakes, always! While KC will forever be my home, our little family (myself, my hubs Brandon, our black lab Moose, and our newest addition, baby Jack) are relocated to NYC for a couple years for his work!
I pivoted from 5 years of elementary teaching to full blown entrepreneur, and it's the best decision I've ever made for myself. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm working alongside other photographers to help grow their own businesses and maximize their potential.
Serving others by transforming their moments into actual art? AND helping to encourage + build up other creatives? All while traveling the world? There's literally nothing better.

Q&A WITH TAY

Time with family, rainy summer days, spontaneous plans and surprises, all things travel, a vibey coffee shop, burria tacos paired with a marg!

FAVORITE THINGS?

Depending on my mood, any/all of them! I most value receiving quality time and words of affirmation, but I think I'm best at giving acts of service!

LOVE LANGUAGE(S)?

Work from home vibes would hands down be Avett Brothers and the like! Getting ready for a night out? Bops by BBno$ are unmatched. My playlist for a long car ride is filled with nostalgic classic rock that my dad used to play for us as kids- The Eagles, CCR, Steve Miller Band. Honestly I love it all!

YOU'RE DJ- WHAT'S PLAYING?

Our sweet little Jack man! We waited 4 years for him. After a long road of struggling with infertility, we went through our first round of IVF to welcome little buddy into this world!! He was the best test of patience and we could not be more obsessed with him.

proudest accomplishment?

TARA

Time spent with Tara is a gift in itself, but the way she documents her couples is unmatched! She brings a little editorial + documentary flair to each of our galleries she touches, and connects so effortlessly with anyone she meets.

MEET THE TEAM

Sweeeeet Caroline rings SO true for this gal. An instant friend to anyone, and beyond talented with a camera in hand! Caroline is so good at noticing the little things and will make sure you're absolutely taken care of at all times. She brings a fun and energetic flair to everything she does, and is such a talented asset to the PKC team!

IMAN

MADISON

EMILY

Our girl Jaclynn is stellar at all she does, and has the most infectious spirit and energy! She's a pro at helping her clients feel fully comfortable and confident at all times, and makes being in front of the camera feel entirely natural. She's motivated by the thought of her clients cherishing their images in photo books and albums for years to come- a truly timeless experience.

An absolute treasure- to know her is to love her! What makes Iman so unique in her shooting style is both her calming spirit and attention to detail- her photos have so much feeling in them, and we're simply obsessed. Iman's heart for connecting with people and serving them deeply makes sessions with her so intimate and sweet! 

Our Mads came in strong to the team with years of experience, and a heart just on FIRE for connection and creativity. She is anyone's instant best friend, has the most fun spirit and energy, and will make sure you feel totally at home anytime you're in front of her camera. All of our clients that get to work with her are in for the sweetest treat!

It is physically impossible to spend time with this gal and NOT have the time of your life! She's the most upbeat, encouraging and kind-hearted human, and when you pair all of that with her talent and creativity behind the camera, it's next level. Emily's goal in leading each of her sessions is to make her clients feel at home, comfortable and in the moment, and we can confirm this is an absolute strength of hers. We just love having her on the PKC team!

How does the team structure work exactly?

frequently asked questions:

Your associate will be your photographer for both engagement session + wedding day so you can build that connection with them throughout! I (Taylor) take care of everything else- editing, gallery delivery, timeline calls, contracts, emails, etc! I also take on a limited amount of weddings to photograph myself each year.

Which team member will I be working with?

The matching process is based off of a few key factors: primarily your wedding date and the photographer's availability, and your preferences on qualities / the energy you're looking for in a photographer. While we're all very similar in shooting style and overall personality, we each have our own strengths of course that make us a closer fit to certain clients!

Can I hire you for travel for my destination wedding / elopement?

Absolutely!! We've shot all over and several team members are available for travel. Pricing for travel costs can be found in the pricing section of the client guide I'll send you when you inquire!

How do you choose who you hire onto the team?

I'm incredibly picky- and only bring on the best of the best! The hiring / onboarding process is intensive to make sure I'm finding teammates who not only are talented behind the camera, but also entirely personal and professional. All of our team works a full-time photo business of their own as well, have loads of experience, and are trained to work within the PKC brand to provide the same experience throughout!

My package includes a second shooter! Will they be another associate or someone else?

We save our associates for lead photographer positions, since we're typically working several weddings per weekend! We have another group of incredible second shooters that we hire from for the supporting shooter role.

How can I see examples of associate work versus Taylor's work?

Easy! When you inquire, I'll give you access to all of the galleries in our portfolio, where you'll see that all associate led work is labeled with a black dot (●) in the gallery title! All work without the black dot is Taylor's personal photo work. All editing is done by Taylor to ensure that consistent PKC style!
