Hi, I’m Taylor — a local photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I'm a naturalist and a foodie who loves to cook, and I bring life and color to everything I shoot. When I'm not out hunting beautiful light in the woods or in the streets of a new city, I can be found playing games and hanging out with my wife, our two tabby cats and our goofy wolf-shaped dog.
I love celebrating PDX and lifting up small businesses, creatives, and makers to help their work shine. As a reporter and photojournalist for more than 10 years, I’ve covered major festivals like SXSW and countless press events showcasing the world’s biggest brands, including companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Samsung, and many more. Formerly a TechCrunch Senior Editor, these days I write freelance with weekly bylines on Fast Company and elsewhere around the web.
Need event photography for your next big corporate event or real estate photos for your cozy vacation rental? What about food photography of a fresh menu special or product photos before your next big craft fair? I'd love to work with you to make something special. Reach out at thisismagichour@gmail.com or my contact form -- I look forward to it!
