You Aren't Cookie-Cutter. Your Portraits Shouldn’t Be Either
From rich, shadow-filled cinema to bold, editorial concepts—we design a bespoke art piece around who you are.
If you’re worried about being awkward in front of the camera, don't be. This entire experience is all about celebrating your beautiful, messy, wonderful evolution in a space that feels completely safe and unintimidating.
Think of our session as a creative playground: we’re going to laugh a lot, try fun new ideas, and experiment together with dramatic lighting, custom styling, and the environment around us. Through all the laughs, we are going to catch those beautiful, unguarded moments of your real confidence and power. Decades down the road, you won't just look back at a collection of magazine-worthy portraits; you’ll remember the exact day you decided to just show up, laugh, let go, and fully claim your own light.
Hey,
I'm Taylar
Stuffy & Rigid? Definitely Not Me.
If you’re looking for a quiet, super-stuffy photographer who will freeze you in stiff poses—that is definitely not my vibe. I’m a total ADHD creative and a goofy, bubbly soul who gets entirely too excited when a wild new idea pops into my head mid-shoot!
Cinematic Art Meets Zero Rules
My style blends cinematic storytelling with ethereal, fine-art portraiture and boudoir, but the real secret ingredient? We are going to laugh, be silly, and completely throw out the rulebook. I pour my whole heart into every experience because your specific story deserves to be seen, felt, and remembered completely unapologetically.
Capturing the Messy, Beautiful Truth
I don't care about curated perfection; I care about capturing life as it truly is. From the nervous quiet right before our shoot kicks off to the unfiltered, joyous laughter once you realize you've completely crushed it, I aim to tell the absolute truth in every frame.Every session is our chance to celebrate your unique magic. We pivot on a dime the second inspiration strikes to craft museum-quality images that don’t just show what you look like—they instantly remind you exactly how incredible it felt to stand in your own light.

I was quite anxious the morning of and messaged Taylar some outfit ideas and she was super supportive from the start. I arrived at the studio and originally thought I would only feel comfortable starting in my jeans but right away I was feeling so comfortable with Taylar that I was walking around showing her my lingerie. At the start I had no idea how to pose and she told me exactly what to do making it easy.
After the session I felt empowered and she got me a few sneak peaks that night as the anticipation was killing me!! As soon as I saw the first few images I was blown away on how I looked. I had never thought of myself as “sexy” and have never seen myself in this light before but I felt so HOT. From elegant and tasteful to hot and sexy! Love them all so much!! She also is the best hype person, when I receive them she complimented how well I did and feel appreciated

Taylar's work consistently stops me in my tracks and has me exclaiming WOW! out loud. Whether she's shooting indoors or out, boudoir or weddings, lace or latex, models or folks who are camera shy, Taylar simply doesn't miss. She has a gift for making people feel comfortable and for capturing beautiful, evocative, tender and jaw-dropping images in any context. I'd highly recommend booking Taylar, she's a dream to work with, and her edits speak for themselves.

Taylar is a true artist. She knows how to capture your best angles, guide your poses, and bring out a side of you that feels both powerful and sexy. What I loved most was how natural the whole experience felt no nerves, just excitement and fun.
Anyone can take pictures, but not everyone can make you feel stunning and empowered while doing it. Taylar has that rare talent. I would absolutely recommend her.

Working with Taylar was hands down one of my favourite moments of 2024. She's got a creative mind and sharp eye. The images and emotions she captures will stop you in your tracks! The energy she brings to her photoshoots is so calming and you feel like you're in such good hands - because you are! Her images might for themselves - but I'll also just say, damn this woman is TALENTED!

I have done a couple sessions with Taylar and I am incredibly impressed with the outcome each time. These sessions are a great form of self care/love for me and I will continue to work with Taylar in the future. I love that she tells you exactly what to do during the sessions because it stops me from feeling awkward of self-conscious. Taylar is a wonderful photographer and person and I would highly recommend her and this experience to everyone!

Working with Taylar was a dream come true. I've always admired those who do boudoir photoshoots, but never really saw myself as able to do so, until Taylar. She made me feel so incredibly comfortable with her, in my skin and in front of the camera. Taylar helped guide me with poses, while letting me take the reins with what feels comfortable for myself. Truly an incredible experience.

Investment
Your initial investment of $450 covers our customized creative studio time, my hyper-creative styling direction, and the full luxury portrait experience. Because every story is uniquely tailored, your final fine-art albums, custom prints, and digital collections are selected separately during your private viewing session after the shoot. This ensures you only invest in the finished artwork you absolutely fall in love with.
Artistry
Because every session at Taylar Wildman Studios is a custom production built around your story, personality, and custom set design, we only accept a limited number of commissions each month.
Bespoke Creative Experiences
Most clients choose to preserve their cinematic stories in our signature luxury legacy albums and custom-curated digital image collections, typically investing between $2K - 3.5 K + on their final artwork.
In house, interest free payment plans are available as well as buy now, pay later through Klarna & Affirm. Celebrating who you are right now shouldn't feel restrictive.
The Studio Experience
To capture something this honest, you need a space that feels safe, intentional, and entirely yours. Whether we are chasing the cinematic, raw beauty of the Alberta wilderness or creating timeless art indoors, every location is chosen to honor your story.
Our indoor sessions take place at The Gallery Studio, a high-end, minimalist haven located on the third floor in Southeast Calgary. Designed with polished cement floors and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, it offers a modern, private sanctuary where we can manipulate light and shadow to craft your portraits.
It All Starts With a Conversation
If my imagery speaks to your soul, you have officially found your person!
Please, please don't feel like you need a flawless master plan, a perfectly styled wardrobe, or your entire life figured out just to say hello. Sending me an inquiry isn't some rigid, intimidating contract—it is simply a relaxed, fun conversation between two humans about the wild magic we can create together.
The portraits we craft at Taylar Wildman Studios are cinematic, deeply intentional, and undeniably rich. I am fiercely passionate about creating museum-quality artwork for you. But the actual experience? It is entirely unpretentious. The shoot itself is honestly just a fun, easy hangout filled with laughs, experimentation, and a warm, safe space where you get to show up exactly as you are.
