September which means 8 months with Forrest 🌼🩵

Rusty is MOBILE! He is crawling and standing on everything. I mean… everything. His favorite things are clapping, trying to eat Wiley’s food and water, and anything big brother is doing. His sleep has gotten worse and his separation anxiety really blossomed this last month lol. But man is is so smiley and happy…. Except if you’re going too slow to give him his next bite!

Fishy Wade is really starting to understand things we talk about or watch. He loves music and tv so we have been watching Bible stories on Minno and we talk about the stories we watch. He’s also voicing fear of scary things. And we talk about how Jesus is with us and will give us bravery and protection. He also loves to role play! Always asking me to voice Forrest or voice a specific toy! His love for Godzilla has blossomed and it’s awesome and hilarious!

The boys have been cuddling during naps so I can get some editing done! It’s so helpful but also so cute because Forrest has in fact entered the, “I won’t nap unless I feel you next to me” stage 🥰

What a great month it was + excited for October and all the festive things we’ll get to show the littlest man in the house 🩵

7 months!

This boy is definitely online now! He is SO talkative and can be SO. LOUD. He’ll squint his eyes and yell 😆 He is obsessed with splashing water and rockin’ like he’s dancing. Forrest has started playing WITH fisher. It’s so cute to see them just be brothers.

Here are some fun little photos from the last month 🤍

First tule ride for Rusty. Just a test drive because he needs a helmet lol

Fisher is OBSESSED with bumble. So much that he’s been talking about being bumble for Halloween SINCE CHRISTMAS 🎄❤️ this was a fb marketplace find that he was so excited about 🫶

We found our love for super hero’s this last month. Specifically for Spider-Man and Batman!

A friend of mine from church gave me some vintage Mickey + friends overalls before fisher was born. August 22nd, 2023 and 2026, we visited and got ice cream 🍦 ❤️

Same spot. 3 years apart 💛

P + J became parents last year, and getting to photograph this next season for them was so special. 🤍

We were honestly a little nervous about the weather—crazy wind and rain in the forecast. We even changed locations last minute because it was already pouring where we were supposed to go. But somehow it all worked out perfectly… because how beautiful did these turn out?!

P + J are just so natural together in front of the camera, and it’s such a blessing that they trust me to document the different seasons of their lives. And it’s always a bonus when Gwen gets to come along too 🤍

Hello friends, Im Taylor Atchison! I’m 35 years YOUNG, married to my best friend Alex, and mama to two wonderful little boys — Fisher and Forrest — along with our beloved chocolate lab, Wiley. We had an intimate wedding IN 2020 that felt perfectly us, and looking back, it beautifully reflects the kind of life we’ve built: intentional, close-knit, and full of meaning.

I’m not a perfect person, wife, or anything in between, but motherhood is where I feel God’s purpose for me most clearly. It’s the role that has shaped me, grounded me, and brought me more joy than I ever imagined.

A few things that fill my cup:
✨ Disney movies and theme parks
✨ All things sweet (especially ice cream)
✨ Half-caf coffee
✨ a good spa day
✨ Camping and the outdoors
✨ Dogs — always my favorite
✨ And a deep love for Jesus

Alex and I share a love for Japanese art, culture, and games… yes, we still play pokemon go LOL! In 2025 we even took our oldest to Japan, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. We still joke — only kind of joking — about moving there someday.

I’ve spent nearly nine years photographing weddings, and around year four I discovered where my creative heart thrives most: in the small, intimate moments. The quiet exchanges, the gentle gestures, the pieces of a wedding day that often go unseen — that’s where I feel most connected as an artist and where I’m able to serve my couples with intention and heart.

“Thanks for being here and getting to know a little piece of my story. I’m seriously so grateful for all the love and support 🤍 If you ever want to know more about me or want me to photograph your intimate day, don’t hesitate to reach out — I’d love to connect!

I don’t normally photograph big, traditional weddings… but when Madi reached out, I didn’t even have to think about it. I’ve known her since she was in high school, when I coached her in cheer, and her family has always held such a special place in my heart. They’re the kind of people who leave a lasting impact — the kind you never forget.

Fast forward to 2024 when Madi told me she was getting married and wanted me to capture it. She said she couldn’t imagine anyone else behind the camera because she already felt so comfortable with me. And Nathaniel was all in, too. From their engagement session to the wedding day, photographing them felt less like working with clients and more like photographing family.

I’m endlessly grateful for couples who trust me wholeheartedly. Madi may have had a head start in knowing who I am, but it still means the world that she and her (now!) husband chose me to document such an important day. 🤍

There’s something powerful about slowing down and letting love exist without direction.

This couples session was centered around comfort, closeness, and natural connection — the kind of love that doesn’t need instruction. I photograph couples in a way that feels honest, emotional, and true to who they are together. Because that’s how your photos should feel 🤍

For couples who want imagery that feels timeless, and deeply personal — this is for you.
