Hey, I’m Tay
She/her
I’m an arts and culture photographer based out of Rochester, MN, and I’ve been taking pictures of nouns since 2012. During business hours, I am a photographer for Mayo Clinic. After hours, you’ll find me photographing local creatives, artists, and musicians, and the magic they make.
While picture taking is my creative medium of choice, I’ve spent my life exploring other artistic mediums like sketching, and oil painting.
When I’m not hyper-focusing on art, you'll find me living my best life (and probably looking for cool rocks) with my favorite daughter, Casey, my four-legged son, Rigby, and my partner, Paul.
