BIO
Portrait of Passion and Perseverance
Born amidst the rugged beauty of Utah, I faced life's unpredictable turns early on. By the age of 2, a profound deafness enveloped in my world, which led to 13 arduous ear operations that, while granting partial hearing, left a lasting mark in the form of deafness in my left ear. These challenges intensified at age 15, with a diagnosis of dyslexia, making academic pursuits a tough terrain to navigate.
Yet, it was amidst these adversities that I found my passion - art, with a distinct pull towards portrait photography. Captivated by magazine covers, I would passionately recreate them, casting my family and friends as muses. The true calling was felt with the first touch of a genuine camera at 14, marking the beginning of an undeniable bond with the lens and me.
Though life had its designs, taking me from college where I studied criminal law and subsequently into the intense world of FBI interrogation, my heart knew its true north. It ached to frame stories, to capture emotions, and to tell tales through stills. After years of serving the law, an opportunity 25 years ago was the pivot I needed. Trading interrogation rooms for studios, my journey as a celebrated portrait photographer began.
2020, a year marked by global solitude, presented a fresh canvas. A diving into video creation during the pandemic. I found myself soon wore the director's hat, crafting TV ads, local social media content, business videos, and currently embarking on a feature documentary film.
Life is not just about photos and frames; it's a testament to resilience, passion, and the undying spirit of creativity. I love discovering the story and bringing it to light.

“Apple’s newest smartphone models use machine learning to make every image look ‘professionally taken.’ That doesn’t mean the photos are good.” New Yorker Magazine
Let’s face it. When people think photography in 2022, they see our “selfie” driven world. It is about our “phones”. What used to be a communication device now masquerades as a “photography lab in one’s palm.”
Smile, click, done.
A wild snap, and the subject hopes something “good” happened. We snap, and we snap until we get something “decent.” Do the results approach anything close to professional photography? No. A recent independent photograph study observed of the latest iPhone photography capability: ““Its complex, interwoven set of ‘smart’ software components don’t fit together quite right.”
Here is the secret you need to know. Photography is not about how a camera is snapped. The magical results are 1000% due to what is in front of the camera to be captured. The final photo must exude a brand, whether professional or personal. That brand must be defined, its story constructed and then it needs to be painted with the perfect lighting, color tones, positioning and images. The skill required to integrate all these elements into experiential magic is equal parts science and art. The talent to bring it all together is rare.
That talent’s name is Taylor Boone.
Within Taylor’s methodology, you or your product are her pallet of colors. She will bring out your shades, your tones, your nuances, your identity, and your spirit in a way you did not imagine possible. Light, textures and the shape of her subject’s face are her tools, and she manages each with intense precision.
Taylor’s perspective was formed early. Due to an illness when she was a girl, she was completely deaf for several years during her formative young life. The removal of this sense forced her to develop her visual skills and fine tune her observations. Her intuition for the emotions around her has been honed to a deep level of detail. It guides her strategy in constructing the image for her client that reveals them in a way they might have never imagined possible.
“Oh my, that is perfect. How did you know, how did you see and capture THAT?” is a common response to Taylor Boone concepts.
Taylor’s objective is to make you or your product inspirational. As your target viewer sees you through Taylor Boone’s lens, they will be moved and compelled to embrace your uniqueness and your mission.
Taylor’s mediums range from still photography to videography. Whether a single image, or a full video production, Taylor will integrate the exactly right sensory expression that conveys your story and relevance in the most deeply felt way. Your prospects and clients will not just intellectually understand you, your product or service, they will emotionally connect.
Your project will be run with precision. Since it is being developed by our boutique-style agency, your media strategy will be defined, the details thought-out and well planned. Your digital marketing assets will be made available for evaluation, approval, and delivered in a state-of-the-art process.
Taylor believes in you. She is aware that within you, you carry an idea, a brilliance, and an importance. She knows that just as you have a unique fingerprint and a unique DNA map, you carry a soul, whether as a person, product or service, with a message. She will help you find it, define it and see it.
Then, she will make the rest of the world see it too.
