I really appreciated just "showing up". I didn't have to make a lot of decisions that day which was SO NICE. Despite a courthouse wedding, it was a busy day already and I appreciated that you handled all the locations, times, when we moved, poses, ideas. We already made so many decisions about outfits, rings, times, days. It was nice to just be in the moment and not worry. And that kind of capability is so hard to find! I fully trust you, which was a relief.

You did a great job of making me feel heard and seen while still bringing your own creativity to the day. I felt like the day was very much "us" and I didn't have to compromise at all. You went above and beyond in executing whatever vision I had. I am also so thankful you were so welcoming to our dogs and made them a special part of the day, too! I now have those treasured memories forever documented as a little family. Also, thank you for making me look and feel beautiful!

I also liked the online platform for contracts and making payments. I felt it was very straightforward.

I loved how natural you made us feel. Neither of us truly enjoy getting our pictures taken, but you made the process feel like we were just hanging out together as you snapped some photos.

I truly could not imagine another person to captured our day. The moments, the details, the smiles you captured all tell a different story. The way you were able to use the space provided to create something even more magical with shadows and the different foliage is truly magical. You have such a gift of not only creating art, but also making people feel comfortable and genuine whilst doing so. We appreciate you spending the time to join us and traveling so far. We could not be more grateful for you and these photos we get to share with family and friends for lifetimes.

Let me start by saying that I’ve never been comfortable in front of a camera. In the past, I would cringe when I saw the photos, feeling like they just didn’t capture me well. But working with Taylor changed everything. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she made all my awkwardness melt away. Taylor has this incredible ability to capture love in its most genuine, flattering, and authentic form. I’ve never felt more beautiful in photos than I have when she’s behind the camera. 

What truly sets Taylor apart is her ability to remain calm and composed, even on a day as hectic and emotional as a wedding. Anyone who’s been through a wedding knows how stressful it can be—there are so many moving parts and timelines to keep track of. But Taylor was a steady presence from start to finish. She made sure we stuck to the schedule without ever making us feel rushed. She was always there when we needed her, helping to guide us through the day and making sure we stayed focused on what really mattered. 

Her attention to detail goes beyond photography. From smoothing flyaway hairs to guiding me on how to position my hands and face, Taylor made sure every moment was captured perfectly. She knew exactly how to pose us in artistic, creative ways that made the most of every setting. It’s clear that she doesn’t just take photos—she tells a story with each image, capturing all the little moments that make the day unique. 

I genuinely can’t imagine what we would have done without her. Choosing Taylor as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. Her calm energy and organization were invaluable, and I knew from the moment she started shooting that we were in the best hands possible. It gave me such peace of mind to know she was behind the lens, working her magic. 

I will forever be grateful to Taylor for capturing us during such a special time in our lives. Her photos are more than just pictures—they’re memories we will treasure for a lifetime. If you want a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but who also cares deeply about making your experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, Taylor is the one. She will not only meet your expectations—she will exceed them in every way.

“My favorite part of the whole session was how comfortable Taylor made us feel. Being intimate in front of someone else can be hard to do as a couple, but Taylor just kept hyping us up and made it super easy. She had so many great posing ideas, and gave us such an amazing gallery! She even gave us goodies after the shoot! Amazing photography and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.”

Taylor is simply the best there is!! She is so thoughtful and captures the most beautiful details. She made everything I envisioned come to life and I am so in love with every single photo she’s captured for us. I truly cannot say enough about how amazing she is, her work speaks for itself!! I love Taylor ❤️❤️❤️

You are amazing and I’m over the moon with all 3 shoots! I love the vibe and feel of all them. They each had their own special touch and are so diverse. You were wonderful and fun to work with and very helpful in what prompts to do. Your creativity is one of a kind and I will HIGHLY recommend you to everyone! Plus the amount of photos is the best and you play good tunes while shooting!

“I loved working with Taylor. Peter and I felt very comfortable taking the pictures even though we are not photogenic and we are very awkward. The photos turned out amazing! I can’t wait to print and frame in our house!”

Taylor was someone that made both me and Nolan feel very comfortable during the shoot. I personally am kinda awkward in moments such as pictures but she made it feel like we were just hanging with a friend and that was awesome! Thank you Taylor!

I had the best experience working with you! You captured everything perfectly, the style and editing was absolutely perfect and everything just came out exactly how I had planned and dreamed, including our proposal. You were also so sweet and flexible with the day with moving things around and having a second photog, and thinking of doing our engagement shoot that evening made it magical! You made the day less stressful and super enjoyable since I knew everything was going to be captured perfectly, which it was!

“Omg I love them so much! I can’t decide which one to put as my Lock Screen! We are still going through them, but when we get a sec we’ll sit down and pick our favorites for prints! But really! We’re IN LOVE with them! You were so much fun to work with and if we ever get the money to do this again you’re our photographer!”

“I absolutely LOVED Taylor’s service and everything that came in the package. She made everything so easy and accommodating to work with. She’s so kind-hearted and I know everything she does is out of love!”

“I can not recommend Taylor Hackwell ENOUGH! She was extremely communicative and helpful leading up to the shoot, allowing me to ask questions and request exactly what I wanted out of the session. As for the shoot itself, she made me feel extremely relaxed and with each shot gave me more and more confidence with her words of encouragement. Her editing skills blew my mind to be honest. Upon seeing the sneak peeks, and then the full gallery, I knew I had made the right choice in choosing her for my portraits! These are photos I will cherish for years to come, and I really can’t think of anything negative to say about the whole experience! If you’re looking for a skilled, professional photographer, Taylor Hackwell is the way to go.”

“Easily the best experience with a photographer! Taylor is super personable and very talented at her craft. She made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Followed through on everything she said she would do. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions. I would absolutely highly recommend her! Thank you Taylor so much for everything you do.”

“Taylor did an amazing job with our photos! They came out absolutely stunning.”

“You are so very talented! You have managed to capture the personalities of all 3 of my girls in their senior photos and you picked the most beautiful locations!! Our girls really enjoyed working with you and you made them feel so comfortable!! We would absolutely recommend you to anyone and will for sure be coming back for more!! I have no doubt you are going to be super busy because you are so good at what you do, but you better save room for us!”

“My shoot with Taylor was amazing! I had a vision and space I wanted to get done and she made the pictures turn out so much better than I thought they would be be. Only advice I could give anyone doing a shoot with her is listen to her. If she tells you to move or stand a certain way DO IT! It made me feel weird but the pictures don’t lie. I am absolutely in love with how they came out. Definitely recommending working with her to everyone I come into contact with. Love ya girl!”

“I can’t express how highly I recommend Taylor as a photographer. She took my family’s photos this year and it couldn’t have been a better experience. I wasn’t sure of the best location but Taylor was able to recommend some beautiful spots, and even showed me pictures of them so I could pick the setting I wanted. She was so good with my wild children and the photos turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I couldn’t be happier with these forever memories. It’s impossible to choose only a few to print, and all my family and friends feel the same way. The shots she created make for the perfect album. Taylor will most certainly be my go-to for all of my future photo sessions!”

Working with Taylor for our elopement was an absolute dream. Her pictures and vision exceeded our expectations! Our courthouse wedding was actually the first time doing any professional photos as a couple and I was a little nervous about being in front of the camera, but with Taylor it was so much fun. She knows all the cool places in Boise and managed to capture us beautifully. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in Idaho and I will definitely be in touch for future sessions.
