Taylor grew up in Long Beach, California, where sunshine, sand, and Pacific rollers shaped her entire world. She started surfing at eight years old and never looked back—thirteen years later, the ocean still feels like home. On the island, you’ll usually find her at Concessions or Graveyards, chasing clean lines and golden-hour lighting.
Her camera of choice is the Sony A7 III, a fast, sharp, do-it-all beast that keeps up with the action when students pop up, wipe out, or glide through their first real green wave. Taylor’s goal as a photographer is simple: capture the moment you fall in love with surfing. Students say she has a gift for catching both big smiles and big drops.
Off the beach, Taylor is working toward her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with dreams of becoming an occupational therapist—proof she’s got both brains and big-hearted ambition. Fun fact: she’s been modeling since she was five, so she knows exactly how to frame people in their best light. Whether she’s behind the lens or catching a few waves of her own, Taylor brings confidence, creativity, and a whole lot of stoke.
