Vancouver Wedding & Empowerment Photographer

Capturing authentic and intimate stories worldwide.

love

I believe that the most powerful force in this world, is love.
It breeds a multitude of emotion, motivation and action.
It spreads into every aspect of our lives, whether romantic, platonic or self, it is everywhere.
I am a love and connection focused photographer based out of Maple Ridge but available worldwide, who gives my clients a space to express their love unapologetically and authentically. 

Photography is about capturing pieces of the love that we experience in this beautiful, challenging, and fleeting life.
There is so much beauty in the way that a series of images can tell a story, and freeze it in time forever. 
I welcome the unique; the adventurers who find joy in the windswept, barefoot, messy moments of life. The lovers who relish in the connection of intimacy and the individuals who value expressive self-love.

Celebrating You,
through intimate and personal imagery.

EMBRACING CONNECTION AND veracious EMOTION

in All types of love, worldwide

I am so grateful to have found Taeya when looking for a wedding photographer. From the very beginning Taeya was warm and inviting and it was clear through her work what an incredible photographer she is. Before my wedding, I also booked a boudoir shoot and I can’t explain to you enough what an empowering experience it was. I had never done anything like that before, and I told Taeya about my nervousness and she was a literal angel to work with. My shoot with Taeya was like hanging out with a best friend who hypes you up and makes you feel 12/10! It was a pivotal moment for my self confidence and on top of that, made me even more exited to know she would be the one photographing my wedding. The day of the wedding, Taeya did an incredible job capturing all of the emotions and special moments of day. She really does create art, and anyone who has has the pleasure of working with her will say the same thing. Taeya is also such a kind and thoughtful person who is such a joy to be around.

Taeya at t.f photography is AMAZING!! Finding a photographer was difficult - I looked through many websites, portfolios and I'd even done couples shoots with other photographers before deciding. What I've learned is that you need to find someone you just connect with. Someone passionate about their art but also committed to you and your vision. Out of all the photographers I've worked with, Taeya definitely stands out. It's as if you have your friend there making you smile and be yourself, while capturing you in your best light. She gets back to you so quickly, is so kind, professional, and honestly I just love her art so much! Her photos make us all look stunning and my husband and I are so impressed with the results! We haven't ever had good photos together until we met Taeya. We're so glad we found her and she was a blessing to work with! She's now done our engagement shoot, couple shoot, wedding, and my personal boudoir shoot and I highly recommend her for all your photography needs! I mean, just look at her portfolio!! SO MUCH TALENT!!

Although we were Taeya’s first wedding I never had a worry she was going to do an amazing job. She had done both our engagement photos and my boudoir photos previously and all were exactly what I was looking for. Not only do her photos capture a moment perfectly she is also very professional and passionate about what she does. She makes you feel very comfortable in front on the camera and is always prepared. Before the wedding we sat down and talked about exactly what I was looking for so on the day I never worried about her missing a moment I wanted. Looking at her work after the wedding I was blown away as not only did she take absolutely beautiful photos of my husband and I but also all of our guests. Since the wedding she has done photo shoots for my friends and I will be using her for my maternity photos.
 
All in all I would highly recommend her to anyone as we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

As women we are constantly bombarded with voices that tell us we’re not good enough. We compare ourselves with airbrushed models and rarely feel like we measure up.
My empowerment sessions with Taeya really broke down the beauty standards that I had in my head and allowed me to enjoy this present moment in my body.
Loving all that I am is going to take time, but I couldn’t help but see myself in a new light after receiving my images.
There is such freedom in playfully wandering barefoot in nature and I wish everyone could experience this level of self-love.
Taeya has such a special gift and will bring out all of the beauty that you are already

You have no idea what these images mean to me, I have struggled my whole life to see the beauty that people talk about when they see me, I have never been able to see it. I struggle every day with body dysmorphia and learning to love the skin that I'm in. You have given me a gift that nobody ever has, you have opened up my eyes to how beautiful and sexy I really am, and for that I can't thank you enough.

I would recommend this experience to anyone out there that has ever questioned their self love, felt uncomfortable in the skin they're in, or just need that boost of self confidence. I have struggled with loving myself, and this experience really opened my eyes to what others see, that I've never been able to. I fell in love with myself when I saw my images for the first time, and that right there is priceless.

I was able to meet Taeya through my husband's friend, and wow I got so lucky! I gained amazing photo's and a friendship. She did my engagement and wedding photos and didn't disappoint. She lets you suggest locations, photo ideas, and editing styles you love. She's always thinking of fun prompts to get just the right reactions for photo's. She loves to experiment and it never disappoints. If you want someone dedicated to their work and brings you amazing photos in a timely manner she is the one to pick!

I have had a few different sessions with Taeya and each time I am blown away by the beauty of the photos she takes. Taeya captures the details you want in photos. She always delivers high quality images every time. Taeya is also super personable and kind-hearted. With our empowerment shoot and engagement photos Taeya made me feel so comfortable through it all. Taeya also captured our newborn photos and was incredibly patient with our family. I highly recommend her for any session type.

I have and will continue to recommend her to others! Thank you Taeya for helping me with self love.

Alex & Cody

We hired Taeya for our engagement photos almost 2 years back and we were blown away by the results. 2 years later we finally got to have the wedding of our dreams and have Taeya photograph and the results were incredible. Her style is unique and beautiful. She made us feel so comfortable even though being in front of a camera isn’t our favourite thing. Our family and friends had nothing but great things to say about her and the way she directed our photography. All the photos were delivered so quickly to us, even some on the night of the wedding which was so exciting for us. Taeya is flexible, kind, welcoming, talented and overall a wonderful person. We can’t recommend her enough.

I had my first session a few years ago with Taeya when she was first starting and she was amazing then. I had another session for an outdoor empowerment session and oh my gosh, she is INCREDIBLE!! I am in awe of her abilities, she does NOT disappoint in her photography skills and I am 110% doing another session with her this summer! Not to mention how sweet and genuine she is as a person, and how easy and comfortable she makes the whole shoot, I HIGHLY recommend her beyond words

I'm really awkward in front of the camera, but with Taeya as my photographer, she made it so easy and feel so comfortable!!
She captures the most precious and forever moments.

Taeya was recommended to my fiancé and I by a few friends who had done a couple shoots with her before. We saw their photos and loved how they turned out. We were unhappy with our original engagement session done a few years prior, by another photographer and thought it was time for a redo. Taeya was amazing to work with from start to finish. From booking, hearing all of my ideas to get photos that were authentic to us, and even more amazing to work with on the day of. She understands that it can be super awkward in front of the camera and was great at directing us to get some beautiful shots. Her turnaround time was fast and the pictures turned out fantastic. Her work is high quality and I will use her again for any other photography I need. My fiancé and I are beyond happy with the photos we received.

Taeya was such as pleasure to work with, she's super funny and makes you feel very comfortable during your photoshoot ! She managed to capture the beauty of my jewelry pieces in every shot and knew exactly what pose to set us up in to create such elegant pictures. Highly recommend for your brand development among her many other talents.

If you looking for an amazing photographer combined with an outstanding personality and great price stop looking further! It was our wedding and the first time we'd hired a professional photographer, we were a little nervous since it was our first time and weren't sure how it would all play out, but after our first meeting , we knew, we are in great hands. Taeya is really easy to work with, she explains everything in detail and you can ask her anything and she will be happy to explain. We were just amazed with the pictures and service provided. Highly, highly recommend to everyone who is looking to get professional photos done.

The Northern Tattoo

My business just went through a huge growth spurt and we needed to share our growth in a way that did the studio justice. Taeya did an absolutely incredible job of capturing our vibe and taking a vast and varying collection of photos for us to use on all of our social media and our website. The result is a cohesive internet identity that I am proud to present. The experience of having Taeya photographing the studio, our supplies and staff was one of a kind. She made us feel at ease and was a perfect guide for those of us who are not exactly naturals at posing for the camera. 10/10 would recommend! We still have so many great photos to release over time on our pages <3

13 Overlooked Ways to Prepare for your Boudoir Session

INSPIRATION FOR YOUR BRIDAL BOUDOIR PHOTOS

WHY YOU SHOULD BOOK A NEWLYWED PORTRAIT SESSION

Notebook
The blog

The Notebook is a space where I share tips and resources for clients who need a little extra help, the projects that touch my soul, and the knowledge I have gained about the industry I love so much that I wish to share with other photographers.

Take a peek inside to read the words that come straight from my heart, about this incredible journey I am on in photography, and the beautiful people I meet along the way.

When we hear the word empowerment we think of strength, confidence, intelligence, and beauty. When I hear the word boudoir, the first thing I imagine is a woman on a bed in lingerie with her booty up in the air. The word boudoir is limiting and it often has a negative connotation surrounding it. Now, there's nothing wrong with lingerie or a poppin' booty on a bed, I fuckin' love it, but I believe that boudoir can be more than that. Empowerment sessions allow us to break down societal stigmas through art and give us more room to be natural.

During Empowerment Sessions I focus more on allowing you to have quiet moments of reflection where you can start healing your relationship with your body; learning to forgive it, embrace it, connect with it. I give you a safe space to sit with your insecurities and begin the process of finding peace with them. I guide you through movement that feels comfortable and I invite you to put aside the fears of being imperfect, to capture your true self in a way that reflects your inner beauty, outwardly.
