Taylor Cain

Photographer

I live in Kansas City with my boyfriend and all-star shoot assistant, Chris, and our pups, Ted and Billie (@wyld_goldyns), probably the sweetest goldens on the entire planet. I currently work full-time doing marketing for an adoption agency, which has given me opportunities to exercise my creativity—but not so much as I’ve found through my work with photography. So, while I think it’s important for you to know that I’m a die-hard Pink Floyd fan that loves a good rainy day and could subsist entirely off cheese and Cabernet, that’s not why you’re here.

To me, being a photographer gives me the rare opportunity to curate fun experiences and preserve good memories. I love portrait photography because you never have to fabricate individuality. Having a photojournalistic perspective allows me to simply capture life as it’s unfolding. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about creating a styled shoot but, really, I want to capture you. So bring your clumsy, silly, obnoxious, shy, laugh-out-loud, dorky, raw, authentic self – because that’s real and I’m here for it. Your life is beautiful, even in the things you consider mundane, sometimes it just takes the right lens to help bring it to light. Ultimately, what I really care about is that you come out of the experience feeling more confident and yearning for the next adventure.

Making the investment to hire a photographer to document your life—for moments big or small —has more value than you could ever know today. It’s one of the few investments that will only become more valuable over time. Thank you for sharing your life and allowing me the opportunity to capture your legacy.
