Hi and Welcome!
I’m Sydney Taylor, the photographer and everything else behind Taylor Made Photo KC. I specialize in engagement/wedding, newborn, family, and branding photography. I’m based in Kansas City, but I love to travel and capture significant events and memories for my clients all over! My job is, of course, to deliver a gallery of images that you fall in love with, ones that capture the big and little moments, the details, the emotions. But my job is also to make the entire process painless and enjoyable, from initial inquiry to scheduling the perfect time and location, from being comfortable in front of my camera to hopefully convincing you to keep me around for all of your biggest moments!
One big thing that sets me apart from other photographers is that I truly want to be your photographer for life.
Instead of focusing solely on weddings or newborn or branding, I want to be the photographer who you come to for all of you and your family’s big moments. I want to be there from engagement to wedding, maternity to newborn (if you go that path!), headshots for a promotion to branding photos as you start your own business or publish a book or earn an award!
I’ll be there for kiddo’s birthday parties so you can be living in the moment. I’ll be there for graduations and family reunions and new homes and welcoming fur babies into the family. Heck, I’ll go to the park with you and your family and just take beautiful candid photos while you play! My clients become my friends and my family, and I don’t want to miss a moment that you want captured.
“Sydney is friendly, funny, and creative with her art. When she photographed me and my wife's wedding, it felt less like we were being photographed by a stranger and more like we were being photographed by a new friend. My wife and I aren't people who usually seek out attention for ourselves--we prefer to mingle in a group rather than be center stage--so I wasn't sure how being photographed would feel, but Sydney is very talented at making you feel comfortable and enjoy yourself during a shoot. Not only was she a hit with us, but she was also a hit with friends and family! Some of our guests even asked us afterward how long we had known our photographer, assuming that we were longtime friends. In terms of the actual photographs, Sydney gave us everything we wanted and then some. She has an eye for both arranging photos and for capturing candid moments as they came up. You'll love being able to go through the pictures Sydney gives you and see moments that you were too busy to catch on the day. She'll also make the moments you do remember sparkle. Her knack for classy black and white filters was especially nice. We loved having Sydney photograph our wedding and hope we can hire for other special occasions in the future. You can't go wrong working with her!”

“Sydney was so amazing to work with. I first found her on Tiktok. The first video I watched was of her demonstrating her photoshop skills of a person who had their eyes closed in a group photo. I scrolled through her page and loved her work, so I decided to reach out even though I didn’t know where she was located. Even though she was 6 hours away, she agreed to be our photographer! She was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process and would bounce ideas back and forth with me. We even facetimed and talked about visions of the day from start to finish. Her timeline draft she provided me was the backbone of my wedding planning. Not only were her photos absolutely breathtaking, but I had a sneak peak within 24 hours and all 3000 photos within a week. She was very professional, kind, helpful, energetic, and so friendly. My wedding party raved about how fun and talented she is! My wedding photos were my number one priority when it came to vendors and I am so grateful we chose each other.”

“Sydney does great work! She is very open to all my ideas. We have done maternity, birth, newborn, milestones, professional, and Christmas. I love that she likes to include the fur babies as well! She’s professional and knows what she is doing! I feel so comfortable and relaxed. She will forever be our photographer!”

“Wow! Every time we get photos taken with Sydney I am moved and amazed! She has an extraordinary talent to capture the perfect & imperfect moments. I tell all of my friends and family about Taylor Made Photo KC, because it would be mean not to. Everyone deserves a fabulous family photo & we will not go to anyone else for ours!!!”

“Sydney makes the sessions fun and easy. We have had her take family pictures every year for about three years and love the results.”
