Associate Photographers
The same documentary eye and calm presence, across our whole team
MEET THE TEAM OF ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHERS
A trusted team of artists carefully selected across WA, OR, and CA who document love stories as a natural extension of the tmInspired brand. The same care and anticipation we bring every couple, genuine moments captured with intention, hand edited to match our portfolio, and a seamless process from beginning to end.
Open each location to meet the photographers and see their galleries:
Madison
(She/her)
Madison photographs the full arc of a day, the big moments, the small ones, and the quiet in between, with a detailed, documentary eye. She has a particular instinct for the people at the edges of a celebration, often seeking out the youngest and oldest guests, because a candid frame of them can become one you hold onto for a lifetime. She is also our film photographer, shooting 35mm and 120mm, available on select associate collections, so if film matters to you, she is who we pair with your day. Born and raised in the PNW, Madison is a mom of two, a lifelong vegetarian, and will always love The Beatles. Soft spoken and calm on a wedding day, she is the kind of presence you forget is holding a camera. See Madison’s tmInspired gallery.
SOFIA
(She/her)
Sofia is always watching the room, staying on her feet and moving through a wedding while somehow blending into the crowd, so the moments she catches feel unguarded. She directs softly when she needs to, a quiet word rather than a big production, which puts couples at ease without interrupting what is happening. Her eye traces back to growing up among the classical architecture of St. Petersburg, and it shows in how naturally composition and light fall into place in her work. Off the clock she is drawn to pottery, thrifting, and giving old furniture a second life, always with an eye for materials and pieces that carry history. See Sofia’s tmInspired gallery.
Jacque
(She/her)
Jacque photographs with a warm, encouraging presence, the kind that talks you through the day and makes you feel celebrated without ever pulling focus from the moment itself. Couples relax around her quickly, which is exactly why she also shoots many of our proposals and engagements, where feeling at ease is everything. Based in Eastern Washington with family in Seattle, she grew up among the evergreens and the coast and now lives among the valleys and high desert on the other side of the state. She is happiest in the sunshine, with a good love story, her two boys, and any dog she can find. See Jacque’s tmInspired gallery.
Kris L.
(He/Him)
Kris photographs with a thoughtful, composed eye, drawn to architecture, light, and frames that use the whole space around a couple, which makes his work some of the closest on our team to Taylor’s own. He has an easy way with people, calming nerves before a first look and bringing real energy to the dance floor, without ever letting the party pull his focus from the moment in front of him. A Houston transplant, Kris is the one who might answer with a “y’all,” and off the clock you will find him on a pickleball court or hunting antique stores and new restaurants with his wife. See Kris’s tmInspired gallery.
Hannah
(She/Her)
Hannah grew up in Utah, with a camera almost always in her hands. For the last 4 years, she has been living in Hawaii, where she officially became a full time photographer. Now based in Portland, she’s found the perfect blend of forest trails, misty coastlines, and creative community. She’s passionate about helping people feel seen and celebrated just as they are. When she’s not photographing weddings or families, she’s likely out walking her Australian shepherd, teaching voice and piano lessons, or playing board games with her husband. At every session, Hannah brings calm energy, honest encouragement, and a knack for making people feel instantly at ease. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.
Kris O.
(She/Her)
Kris grew up on Oahu island of Hawaiʻi with a disposable camera in hand from her earliest memory, at the age of seven. Now that she is in Portland, she is soaking up everything that the PNW has to offer. Her passion for photography actually stems from working to overcome her own insecurities in being photographed. She works hard to make sure that everybody and every-body feels beautiful when they work with her. Her hobbies include experimenting through cooking in the kitchen (her go-to first impression dish is her take on Japanese curry!) and creating TikTok content of her fur family. At every wedding and portrait session, Kris is the professional hand holder, shoulder to cry on, and ultimate hype woman. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.
Dani
(She/her)
Dani fell in love with photography after her parents bought her a crappy 3 megapixel camera in the hopes it got her off of World of Warcraft (It didn’t work, but she hasn’t been farther than 5 feet from a camera ever since). She’s an unapologetic Hufflepuff and bird enthusiast. Dani will spend your day joking with you, discussing the ins and outs of fictional worlds, and probably telling you all about her feathered sidekick like any bird-nerd would. All the while, you’ll be getting your real, genuine reactions photographed and woven into a visual story you can cherish forever. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.
Leah
(She/Her)
Leah grew up in the mountains, forests, and valleys of the Western United States, and her work is heavily inspired by the landscapes of her childhood. Her favorite waterfall is Wahclella in the Columbia Gorge and her favorite dinosaur is the Pachycephalosaurus. Leah is a documentary-style photographer meaning that, like a proper introvert, she sits back and lets your day unfold (and steps in with guidance when needed!). She feels that the in-between moments – when you are lost in each other and forget the camera is there – make for the most authentic images. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.
Amanda V.
(She/Her)
Amanda lives in Arizona but serves the Southern California area often when she visits family and friends. Orange County is where she grew up and loves when work can bring her back to visit. She spent her childhood experiencing weddings through her mom’s eyes as a florist. Amanda loved seeing a wedding come to life from beginning to end. As she grew up, so did her own creativity. She always wanted to find an avenue that feeds her creative spirit and pursuing photography became an obvious choice for her. To this day, she still finds satisfaction in a wedding coming to life. Elegance and style is at the front of her mind. Mom of 3 kiddos, she is fueled by her sense of adventure and bottomless iced coffee. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.
Amanda H.
(She/Her)
Photography is Amanda’s creative dream come true. You may hear her yell “YAAASS!” more than once throughout your portrait session, and she’s a big fan of punny jokes. Around high school, Amanda found out for herself how important memories were. Not just the ones she was creating currently but the ones that she couldn’t get back. She realized that captured moments carry such a significance for her that she wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too. Mom of 2 kids, she is used to finding the calm in the midst of chaos. Amanda believes that the unexpected moments can really make wedding photo galleries really special. Her all time favorite movies are Midnight in Paris and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with Taylor and her team on many occasions and am consistently inspired by how wonderful they are. I’m always blown away by the speed of the sneak peeks, and the quality is top tier. tmInspired is at the top of my list for recommendations.
