About me

Hi! I'm Taryn and I'm a mama, photographer + artist. My boy just turned five in December, I have been photographing for a little over 4 years and have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, I've only recently given myself the time for the art I want to create. I love visual art. 

I am based out of Dayton, Ohio and am manifesting travel. This year I am hoping to focus on having out of state photoshoots with clients along with adventure elopements/destination weddings + creating the sessions of my dream shoots with dream clients in a dream location. If I'm not working, you'll catch me roller skating with my son, thrifting, going to museums, brainstorming more ways to get creative with my shoots, or reading. This year I'm also really wanting to start taking my own self-portraits, we'll see how that goes. Another one of my goals will be to go camping + hiking once every month this year and I couldn't be more excited. The days are planned out + gear is ready. We'll start at closer locations and then move farther away each trip.

I am obsessed with documenting our lives, the lives of others + creating beautiful artwork in many different ways. I have never looked so forward to a year like this one.
