Tayler Simpson
Hey there! I'm Tayler! I’m a Detroit-based photographer, storyteller, and graduate with a BFA in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Photography and Digital Art from Wayne State University.
My love for photography started early, at age six, with a little digital camera that never left my hands. By high school, I was on the sidelines photographing Friday night football games, capturing big wins, quiet moments, and everything in between. That experience taught me how powerful a single image can be, and how much I loved telling stories through the lens.
In 2020, I started branching into lifestyle portraits and events for friends and family. I quickly fell in love with candid, heartfelt photography. The kind that preserves real emotion and the beauty in the in between moments.
That love eventually led me to launch my own photography business in 2024 while still in college.
Since then, I’ve had the honor of photographing graduates, families, special events, and nonprofits like the American Heart Association. My approach blends creativity with a journalistic eye, allowing me to capture images that feel as real and vivid as the moments themselves.
📍 I’m based in Livonia and primarily book in Metro Detroit—and now that I’ve graduated, I’m open for bookings!
Let me document your story in the most authentic and heartfelt way possible.
