Hey there, I’m Taylor!

I’m the face behind Gracefully Made Photography and I’m a high school senior and couple photographer based just outside of East Grand Rapids Michigan, although I will travel anywhere! Traveling ignites a fire in my soul! There’s just something about seeing a new landscape and exploring a new place for the first time that speaks to me. My dream would be to travel all around the US and capture seniors and couples in their favorite spots!

More about me:

Hey hey!! I’m Taylor and I love to pretend that I’m on the Great British Baking Show by baking something new every week, I always have Taylor Swift blaring, and I live for belly laughs! I believe in surrounding yourself with things and people that make you happy and choosing to live your best life every single day.

Photography makes my heart burst with joy unlike anything else, which is how I know this is what I’m meant to be doing.

I have an absolutely horrible memory when it comes to my own experiences, so I have to take a photo of what I’m doing to remember that it happened. Pictures turn into memories that we can look back on for years and years. I can remember how I felt when I saw a waterfall for the first time because of a photo, so I want to help you remember exactly how you feel in your special moments as well.

 
 
 
 

Fun Facts:

  • I love being outside and being barefoot, it makes me feel so connected to the world.

  • I’m a type 6w7 (aka I’ll be your friend foreverrr), if you’re into the enneagram!

  • I love love love working out! Lifting weights and running have my heart!

  • I talk obnoxiously loud when I get excited about something.

  • I eat like a kid in elementary school. I am a super picky eater and my go-to foods are: pasta, pb&j, and chicken tenders. I also LOVE candy! My current favorite is Nerds Gummy Clusters!

  • I looooove dogs (and all animals) and if you have one and don’t bring him/her to your session, I’ll be super sad.

  • There’s just something about a rainy day, acoustic music, and curling up with a book that speaks to my soul. If I have all of those things, it’s basically the coziest, happiest day ever.

  • My husband and I recently got married in August of 2024 in Glacier National Park, Montana (SO beautiful). We’ve been together for 10 years and are high school sweethearts!
