If there's one thing I'll go to the grave sure about, it's that I lived my life on my terms; not someone else's. Tag someone who needs to hear this today!

When I was an awkward 12 year old, I would take photos of friends, print them, and give them to them as gifts. It was my way of communicating and loving on and serving people.

I love that not much has changed 20 years later. Giving the gift of memories, photography, and allowing people to see their truest selves by way of my lens has always been such a reward. My heart thrives when I'm capturing relationships between loved ones, parents and their babies, or best friends. THANK YOU for inviting me into your lives to document these precious times for you.

In the last episode of Modern Family, Jay Pritchett picks up his adult daughter and says something to the tune of, “You never know when it’s the last time you pick up your baby.” Then I bawled like an idiot.

This year has been about training. In April we potty trained Colter. This week we’ve been sleep training Dawson. And I’ve been training in my yoga practice as often as I can so I can pick up and carry these babies for as long as possible.

Adventure time went up a notch last night at El & Mac’s stellar mountain wedding!

This sweet couple had been planning an #intimatewedding since before all the madness of 2020. Their passion for all things Colorado Rocky Mountains and Leila (pictured bottom left) lead them from Fort Collins to our valley where their best fur friend and closest beloved 35 friends and family members could join them at @mountaingoatlodge

CONGRATULATIONS MR & MRS FULLER!

Happy #fridayintroductions friends and new followers! I want to share a story about this shirt with you.

I went to Target four times for this shirt. I'm not even kidding. The first day I saw it I LOVED it. But I'm not an impulsive buyer so I thought, "I can't spend $15 on a white tee." I set it down and that night regretted not getting it.

The next morning I went back and it wasn't there anymore. It was the only shirt and someone else snagged it. I thought.

I went back in the afternoon to see if someone had found it or hopefully returned it. No luck,

Two days later I needed to do a Target run for a headband (I swear, this is the most I've been to this store the whole year). And what do you know, sitting on the shelf was this shirt I loved!

I love this shirt for a lot of reasons, but the main reason was it summed up this year so perfectly for me. In the weird world we're living in, it's not hard to just be a good human. It's not hard to love others, even from afar. It's not hard to wish the best for others and be respectful of the time and space they
need to grow into who they're trying to be, which is the best version of themselves. Being kind is easy. Golden rule type of year. When our couples would ask us what we were doing with COVID reschedules I'd literally say, "We're just trying to be good humans and treat everyone the way we'd want to be treated."

Happy Friday, friends! Go be a good human and enjoy fall in all it's glory!

SAVE THIS as a gentle reminder...

Picture this scenario: you go to the dentist for a root canal. When you show up, the receptionist asks you if you want to leave your kids there while you get your surgery. You politely decline because you hired a babysitter to watch them.

When you get into your room for your root canal, the doctor tells you to kick your shoes off because you're going to get a pedicure while you're under, and afterwards, they're going to do your taxes and send one of the bored doctors over to your house to clean before you get home.

Weird, right? You wouldn't trust a dentist to do anything except what he's been hired to do. There is an art and space for trust and growth when you specialize in what you do. No one trusts a Jack or Jill of all trades. Just because you *can* do something, doesn't mean you should.

When I started out in photography, I was shooting weddings, babies, toffee, real estate, corporate headshots...the list goes on and on. Could I shoot those? Yes, of course; I had the gear and could physically do anything. Should I be shooting all the things? Heck no.

When I decided to specialize in weddings, our business grew exponentially. We were booking more than we could keep up with because we focused our energy on ONE thing. Naturally, families followed suit because, I love them and the people involved, but what started out as a specialization, eventually opened more doors than I ever dreamed.

There is beauty in being a specialist. Recognize it. Own it. And run with it like your hair is on fire!

You don't know what you don't know. Let that marinate for a minute.

This has been one of my *many* mantras for 2020. If you don't know what you don't know, how do you know? That first time I ever met a business coach I asked, “So...what exactly do you do?” Unfortunately, that person didn’t give me a clear answer and I walked away from our conversation like 😳 🤨 😬 more confused than when we started chatting and weirdly frustrated.

So you can imagine the irony when I told Mike, “I’m feeling this pull to really help other photographers. Offer guidance, cheer them on, and walk through business with them.” Like...a coach.

I’ve coached both lacrosse and soccer, and freaking loved it. But that love pales in comparison to the feeling of watching other women photographers businesses flourish and explode! Join me LIVE today at 3:03MST as I explain my role as a business coach in your photography business! Because, you don't know what you don't know.

This is us ❤️ These boys are the reason for everything I do 🍁

Autumn is typically an 👏🏻 IN 👏🏻 SANE 👏🏻 blur. I always tell folks that fall for photographers is like tax season for CPA’s. And it still is this year, but we’ve had the time and space to decide what’s most precious and how much we will work.

Going 1,000,000 miles an hour can only go on for so long and I’m so thankful we decided to cap our sessions this year, limited our number of weddings to allow intentional creative freedom, and have had the forethought to remember that every year we long for this crisp time of year for reflection and the outdoors.

Thank you so much to all of you for your love and support for our family! Year after year, season after season, I’m continually humbled and grateful for the amount of work we have and the people we have in our lives. I love you all.

I have very limited dates left for fall in Colorado and will be shooting in Arizona for the month of November. So reach out now if you want to get your fall sessions scheduled in the next couple of weeks. Happy Sunday!

It was 2014 when I sat at our kitchen table crying. We had just finished our taxes for the year and I saw my income. I had made it—and it came a lot faster than I expected.

I cried because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The income I had made from my passion, photography, had exceeded the salary at my corporate job I had quit less than 2 years earlier. I didn’t believe it. For nearly 12 years I never believed my camera and my passion could make an income worthy of supporting my family. And there it was. In all it’s glory. My beacon telling me that all those cloudy, sleepless nights filled with self doubt, were worth it.

I’ve experienced the heartache of ventures not panning out. But more importantly, I’ve experienced the wins. Since that day in 2014, my income from my photography business has grown 4 times what it was that year. And now, I’m ready to support and walk with women who are ready to feel the same that I felt that day.

2020 has been filled with a lot of uncertainty, but one thing I’ve been sure of is I’m ready and honored. Today I coin as the official launch of the Taylor Jones Photography mentorship and coaching program! I am ready to share my fails and successes and help women from all walks of business in their pursuit of leaving their full time job and pursue their own photography business with full steam...and an overzealous and experienced cheerleader 📣 in their corner.

TOMORROW I'll be sharing my new venture and I can't wait to include you all in it! Drop a comment below or shoot me a DM if you’ve got a guess!

I want to let y'all in on a little secret: we travel for free.

Seriously. Keep reading.

When I was in my 20's I had a lot of visions of what my life would look like. After an internship at an interior design company in London, I thought I would lead a city life. Through most of my teens, I desperately wanted to live by the ocean. I thought San Francisco was calling my name for a while. Maybe Patagonia after a backpacking trip there. Then I fell in love with Colorado and knew my heart had found where it belonged.

We're #obsessed with @airbnb and they have unknowingly allowed me to lead all these lives. We've stayed in everything from a studio in Brooklyn, an off the grid cabin in Alaska, an oceanfront cliff condo in Mexico, and a million dollar home in the Rocky Mountains. The best part, we've done it all FOR FREE. I'm not trying to sell you on anything, PROMISE. I'm just excited to share our journey with traveling for free.

In 2017, we listed our home @fallentimberranch on AirBnB in an attempt to see if there was a potential for a side biz. GOODNESS, were we in for a wild ride. Since then, we've hosted over 120+ families at our ranch house and have had ALL of our travels paid for. And if you've followed us for any amount of time, you'll know we travel...like, a lot. We've been asked to host a workshop about how this looked for us being new parents with a 5 month old at the time, doing the #rvlife, running 3 businesses, and making passive income on our house while we travel. So, leave a comment if you want to see and hear more about this lifestyle we lead and how you can get setup to do the same!
