Taylor Maurer - SWMO

Hey there! I'm Taylor and I live in Springfield, MO with my husband, Daniel.

As a child, I always loved pictures. I remember realizing how beautiful it was that a photo could capture real life memories. From my very first point and shoot camera, to being a hobby photographer over the past several years, my love for capturing moments has only grown exponentially.


With that being said, my purpose is to follow the Lord's will for my life and I will continue to pursue what he puts on my heart. He is my "why" in each and everything that I do.


I look forward to getting to know you (:

My Photography Style

ELEGANT | TIMELESS | EMOTIONALLY RICH

  • Natural & Candid Moments – I tend to capture authentic emotions, whether it’s a couple’s joyful celebration or an intimate, romantic moment.
  • Light & Airy with Contrast – My editing balances bright, airy aesthetics with deep, well-defined contrasts, making the images feel dynamic yet soft.
  • Black & White Artistic Touch – I LOVE a good black and white photo! Black and white images add a classic, timeless feel, emphasizing emotions.
  • Minimalist & Editorial – I prefer to pose in a clean, well-thought-out manner, often resembling an editorial magazine style.
  • Detail-Oriented – I can get lost in small yet meaningful details, such as table settings, accessories, and gestures, which add depth to the storytelling.
  • Modern & Romantic – The couples look stylish and effortless, with an overall contemporary and refined feel.

My photography tells a love story with sophistication and authenticity, blending documentary-style storytelling with fine art influences.

If any of this aligns with your vision for photos - I think we would be a great match!

more about me!

my faith

I did not grow up in a "Christian" household unlike many people from this area! I have always believed there was a God, but I did not personally accept the truth of the gospel until I was a freshman in college.
Since then, I have grown so much. I have come to learn that Jesus is not just a part of my life, but he is the central source through which the rest of my life flows! Jesus is central to everything else in my life and without Him, I could not have this business.
Jesus came as a humble servant to save the lowly, broken and "unredeemable". He is the only thing that will ever truly fulfill us and my prayer is that more people come to know that. My hope is that this business shows a glimpse of who Jesus is.

my education

Interestingly enough, I have my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology with a minor in Child Development. Despite that, I am currently a teacher and have half of a Master's degree in teaching. Although my dream job does not require either of those degrees, they have helped me reach the place I am at today!
