meet Taliya Michelle
Hey I'm Taliya, a wedding, portrait, & Family photographer with a clean, fresh, & fun style!
Candid moments. I capture real moments that create lifetime memories. Of course I am there to help guide through poses, but I also capture the fun candid moment, too! My favorite thing is when a couple shares their new favorite photo on social media and they get so excited seeing it for the first time because they had no idea I took it.
Every little detail! I love the details. Seriously, I could spend hours upon hours on details alone. Although I will only spend about 45 minutes on the getting ready details and another about another 30 minutes for the bride to get into the dress. The first part of the day captures special day details such as the dress, jewelry, and invitations, while the reception details are captured during cocktail hour after the ceremony.
Communication is key! Once we are booked, I will be there for you all the way through the big day. I will help guide you on timelines for your special day, and be another set of ears when you need help planning or even another set of eyes for some wedding day decor!
Clean, fresh, and fun editing! My style is not complete without my signature look. I love a clean edit with a but of fresh warmth and a whole lot of fun! I'd like to think it matches my brighter, bold, and colorful personality.
Taliya was amazing!!! She did our engagement shoot and our Halloween wedding and everything has been perfect. We've only received our previews so far for the wedding (but its only been a few days!) And everything looks incredible! She was kind, professional, and easy to get along with. She's got such a bubbly personality and really helped us be comfortable in front of cameras.

Taliya is a true professional and her attention to detail and quality of her work is impeccable. Taliya photographed our engagement and wedding sessions. Being of a plus size figure I was concerned with appearing ‘overweight’ but Taliya was able to beautifully capture photos that flattered my figure. Taliya has a natural ability to make photo sessions fun and relaxed for everyone involved. Everyone I spoke to throughout the reception repeatedly commented on how wonderful you were and how you literally did not stop shooting photographs the entire night, it truly shows your passion and dedication. You’re an amazing photographer but more importantly you are an awesome person and a wonderful companion to have on such a special day. We are so grateful for everything and will cherish the photographs you captured that tell the story of perfect day. Thank-you so much!
