National Geographic Event Photographer

At the Front Lines of Storytelling

People. Places. Planet.

Let's talk about your event

Photographing the Storytellers

I was a contract photographer for National Geographic for over 3 years and photographed the majority of the events taking place in Washington D.C. at National Geographic Headquarters. I learned so much working with those on the front lines of both the social and physical sciences. Shooting for them in often challenging lighting situations allowed me to hone my event work significantly, and was a great source of personal joy for me to be part of.

Hi, I’m Taylor

I got into this work because I believe every person deserves to look extraordinary — not just the keynote speaker, not just the VIPs, everyone.

I've spent a decade building the technical mastery to deliver beautiful lighting, precise timing, and the ability to make any location look like it was built for a photo shoot. I've shot NASA facilities built in the 1950s with brutal overhead lighting and have photographed everything from small intimate receptions to ground-shaking rocket launches. When a moment matters, I'm the one holding the camera.

I show up to every event like it's the most important thing I'll shoot this year — because for my clients, it usually is.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are your photos delivered?

Through a private, beautifully presented online gallery. You can download everything directly, create favorites lists, and share the gallery link with your team, guests, and sponsors for easy access and collaboration. If you would like to see a sample gallery before booking, just ask-- I'm happy to share!

How soon will we receive the photos?

My standard delivery turnaround time is 7 business days from when the event ends. I frequently deliver same day selects or even full gallery deliveries more quickly, and am happy to work with whatever your needs may be on the immediacy of your deliverables; I consistently underpromise and overdeliver!

Do you travel for events?

Yes! I am based in the Northeast but regularly travel thousands of miles for my clients.

How does pricing work?

I charge based on time, complexity, and any additional requirements. When you reach out, share as much as you can about your event including date, location, duration, number of attendees, and what you are hoping to capture. The more transparent you are about your budget, the better I can find a structure that works for both of us. I do not maximize whatever a client tells me and I work with budgets honestly.

Many Subjects. One perspective.

My range extends well beyond events. Every category reflects the same decade of experience and technical mastery while staying true to my style of work.
