Summerville Photography Blog | Leanor Taylor Photography

Welcome To My Blog!

Hello! I'm Leanor, and I'm passionate about capturing beautiful moments through photography. With over two decades of experience in the field, I've had the pleasure of working with countless clients, helping them feel at ease during their sessions.

Connecting with people is one of my greatest joys, and I love hearing their unique stories. Just like the couple in the image here, every client brings their own narrative to the lens.

I understand that stepping in front of a camera can feel intimidating.

There's no need to worry, though; I will guide you every step of the way.

My mission is to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident, allowing your genuine expressions to shine through.

While I can provide the perfect location, backdrop, and lighting, the magic truly happens when you share your emotions with me.

That's what will make your photos distinctive and captivating! I'm excited to meet you and create something special together!
