Taylor Jay photography is WORTH EVERY PENNY of your investment and here's why:
' Alex ALWAYS takes the time to make every picture in your shoot perfect. I have been a customer of Taylor Jay Photography since before it became an official business, but I have NEVER received anything LESS than professional service when working with Alex. Not only is she entirely professional, but she is friendly, fun, and creative. She always finds the best ways to make you and your family's personalities shine through every picture. Oh, you're just talking to your husband between shots and trying to get the baby to cooperate? She captured that. And somehow made it look phenomenal.
The best thing about Taylor Jay Photography is that you get the pretty and artsy photos that you have been pinning on Pinterest, but you also get the candid shots that document your every day life. Those small and simple moments are captured with grace and perfection EVERY TIME. I just finished my 6th session ( Now 10th!! ) with Alex, and it is money incredibly well spent. I have had her photograph almost every major event in my life...individual/personal portraits, engagement pictures, my HUGE family of 20+ people, and my small family of 3 ( Now family of 5 ). Every session is unique, every session is fun, and every session I can't believe that Alex made me look SO good. It's hard to sum up with words all of her talents and expertise, so go look at her portfolio instead. You'll see amazing creativity, happy families, beautiful brides, and the shining personalities of everyone that comes in front of her lens. I come back to Taylor Jay Photography EVERY SINGLE TIME for many reasons, but the most important one is this: she tells our story. Time and time again. That's what makes Alex's work so significant. This isn't just a job or a hobby for her. It's her PASSION. Capturing the individuality of the people in her care is what this amazing woman LIVES for.
Go schedule a session with Taylor Jay Photography right now. I swear to you, you won't be disappointed. I haven't been disappointed once, and I've been her subject matter multiple times over the last 6 ( Now 10!! ) years. I already have another shoot planned with her in a month and I couldn't be more excited!
I can't wait to see what she comes up with this time! ' -Ariel Peterson Oct 2023 March & Oct 2022 Mar & Nov 2021 Nov 2020 Apr 2019 Aug 2018 Sept 2017 Oct 2016 Oct 2015 Nov 2014 Oct 2012 Jan & Oct 2010

' I am so excited to gush over my incredibly talented friend, Alexa Taylor-Jay Ogilvie! I met her only a year ago, but we instantly became the best of friends. Not only is she the most kind, thoughtful and genuine person around, she is also an insanely gifted photographer! Her ability to capture the most beautiful details continually blows my mind, and I can't believe Drew and I were lucky enough to have a photo shoot with her last weekend! I am truly honored that Taylor Jay Photography trusted ME to shadow her on a few of her family photo sessions, and capture her in action. It doesn't matter what she is doing, Alexa is going to ROCK IT! She is always taking the best care of her families, instantly soothing anyone's anxieties or fears with her hilariously fun charm. Alexa can effortlessly show the beauty she sees in every person she photographs, and that is a true gift.

' Alexa is truly immaculate with her photography and edits. I came into the day a little hungry and tired from a long days work and didn't know how it would go because of my current mood. Alexa recognized that and changed it quickly. She helped me and my wife to feel comfortable and handsome/beautiful. By the end of the shoot I felt like I was such a good looking guy from her compliments that I could model professionally with a breeze. Our photos turned out better then what we were hoping for and she really surprised us by going above and beyond our expectations. By the end you'll feel like you were just hanging out with a good friend instead of actually at a photo shoot. Thanks so much Alexa!

' Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOO much Taylor Jay Photography!!!! I literally have no words! This shoot was SO important to me on so many levels and I could have never dreamed of it turning out as amazing as it did! I knew without a shadow of a doubt it would because of your insane, off the charts, out of this world talent and eye and creativity for all things beautiful & photography, but serious, I am NOT a fan of looking at myself and was so nervous for this shoot because of my own self-conscious issues. I, once again, have NEVER EVER felt more beautiful! Not once did I even look at or think about my flaws or wishing I was a certain way. You captured me in the most perfect way, light, angle and bottled up every ounce of happiness and passion for photography that we share!!!! I am SOOOOO proud of this session, of the images you captured, I captured, what you taught me and the memories that we made (ah-hem..... your Jeep getting stuck in the snow because we couldn't stop shooting/talking/laughing! LOL!) I love you SOOOOOOOOO much and am eternally grateful for your talent, love and friendship!!!!! ' -Stephanie Smith from Stephanie Smith Photography Feb 2019 June 2013 June, July & Aug 2012
Editing
I will be HONEST in my editing. Which means, I use Lightroom for ALL of my photo editing. I do NOT use Photoshop. I do not even own Photoshop!! I WILL get the picture right IN CAMERA.
I do NOT artistically manipulate my images in anyway. EVER.
What you see in ANY of my photos is how that photo was shot, and created, IN CAMERA, on our photo shoot, with zero manipulation.
Sun flare? Those were there in the original shot. By using the sun and my camera settings to my/our advantage :):)
Bokeh? Shallow DOF? Created in camera, on the photo shoot by using the photography pyramid correctly.
Do I do Head swaps? NEVER!! I shot it correctly the first time, with EVERYONE smiling and looking at the camera :):) I have never, not once, done a face swap, head swap, body sway, etc on ANY photo that I've taken.
Do I superimpose backgrounds, people or objects into my photos? No. I do not. I, with you, carefully choose the right location for your photos. One with a background that will not only make you shine but, make your photos that much more meaningful & special to you. I pride myself on not superimposing anything or anyone into my photos. I want everyone who sees your photos to know that your photos really do look THAT good. That they are truly that stunning with nothing artificially added, ever.
' ALEXA!!!!!!!! I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!!! words CAN NOT express how much I LOVE our photos!!! My heart could just explode! Never have I had pictures that moved me to tears! In fact, when I opened up your package I got goosebumps just from the packaging of your gorgeous product! You have built this incredible business and I am endlessly impressed by what you have created!! You are a true artist and talent and the world is better because you picked up a camera! Thank you thank you thank you for all the LOVE and TIME you put into our shoot and album! Chris said when we pulled up the first picture that you are proof that not everyone can be a photographer. Meaning, you are the real deal and proof of your excellence is in your pudding! (Photography:). Thank you for sharing your talents with us and for capturing these fleeting moments of my family at this stage in our lives. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. We will cherish these photos for eternity!! They are so going over my mantle in heaven!!! I'm also so thrilled more than our photos is reconnecting with you!! You are just such a fantastic human! And lucky us that we get to call you family! Yay us!! Love you sweet Alex!!! Like I said, words can't do justice to Express my true and deep feelings about this whole experience! May Heavenly Father continue to bless you on this journey of allowing people to have their lives frozen for a life time. You are a gift.... we love you dearly!

Editing cont...
I do very LIGHT editing. I do NOT make you look plastic lol I mean, who really wants that anyways?!?!
I will not take you down a size or 5. I do not take out wrinkles. I do not add a cup size for women. How you look in REAL life, is how you will look in your photos.
I pride myself on my knowledge of posing you perfectly to accentuate your best features. To show you as you truly are without Photoshopping you to look like Barbie. YOU'RE PRETTIER THAN HER :):)

' Taylor Jay Photography once again knocked our family Photoshop out of the park. The photos are pure perfection and she is amazing at making you feel like you are instant friends as well as comfortable during the whole shoot. She has the energy of a 5 year old which was perfect for keeping up with my 3 kids which helped her get my kids personality in still shots. I am amazed every time at what she is able to achieve with the finished photos in having them look and feel just like my family does everyday! I can't wait to get them hung on my wall.

' Getting pictures taken with Alex has seriously been one of the most fun things that I have done – EVER!! I’ve decided to term it “Alex Therapy”, because you get so much more than just some cute pictures! Not only do your photos look amazing, candid, and real, but I’ve never felt uncomfortable being in front of the camera knowing she’s behind it and I always leave thinking I need to hang out with Alex more, because she’s such an amazing, uplifting person to be around and I always feel so good about myself afterwards. I’ve watched her amazing talent continue to grow over the years and she continues to blow me away with her skill that she’s constantly working to improve. I’ve never ever been disappointed with her work and will continue to go back to her again and again for any and all photography needs! I already can’t wait for our next shoot! On top of it all, her work is amazing enough that I’ve been approached by companies to use her photos in their business ads, which is super awesome and just further demonstrates how phenomenal her work really is! Book your shoot with Alex today!! ' -Katrina Olsen April 2017 Jan 2015 May 2013 Jan & May 2012 Sept 2011

' We've been lucky enough to have Alex do several shoots for us just this year! She is so incredibly talented! My hubby and I were just talking the other day about what life was like BEFORE Alex started taking our pictures... Well for me to let pictures be taken of me was rare. I struggled a lot with it and in general would refuse to have my picture taken at all. Then Alex came along with her beautiful talent and her kind and positive attitude and showed me through HER lenses what I could be and look like. I've never felt more beautiful than in the pictures she has taken for us. She has spoiled us with her incredible talent and beautiful soul! Now we have the photos she has taken of us all over our home and I love every single one!" ' We're so lucky to get to have Taylor Jay pics! Love you girl! :) ' -Kayla Astin Nov 2019 May, Aug & Sept 2018 April, Aug & Oct 2017 Jan, Sept, Oct & Nov 2016 May, Aug & Sept 2015 Oct, Sept, July & July 2014 Aug& Oct 2013 Sept 2012
' I had the greatest pleasure to have Taylor Jay Photography take my graduation pictures. Normally I do not like pictures of myself, but when I saw how these pictures turned out I was blown away! During the shoot I honestly felt like a model. I've never considered myself the one who takes pretty pictures. Alexa made me feel so comfortable and gorgeous! She was able to relate to me on so many levels and made sure I was always in the best position that flattered me most. Because of her I am bragging about my pictures. What was even more amazing is that she would show me some of the pictures she took while on the shoot and I looked amazing even without edits! I've received so many compliments on my pictures and I am so proud of them. I have such a better self image of myself. My self-esteem is through the roof. I am forever grateful for her hard work and her amazing talent. I loved that she went above and beyond to make me feel as beautiful as possible. Thank you. <3 ' -Caitlin McLean Haight Jan 2022 Jun 2021 Apr 2015 Sept 2014 May 2013
