I've always been a dreamer. Every dandelion wish I made was to find my Prince Charming, build a big beautiful house, have kids, and happily laugh together. As a wedding photographer, my mom would come home with beautiful images of people in love fulfilling their dreams and looking the happiest they've ever been. I loved every chance I got to photograph or be photographed - I felt like I was living the fairytale I've always wanted. I'm obsessed with taking photos of people who are in love because it brings that spark of joy I felt as a young child.

I wanted to bring Claudine into my business and passion. The way that she represented herself is the way I want to represent "Claud Nine" - hence the name.
"I Live for days like this!" - Claudine taylor
It was an honor to have a mother in law like Claudine, as she was a very special lady. She had fiery red hair with a spunky personality. Claudine was the hostess with the mostest - consistently wanting to do right by others. She was always on trend and presented herself with such grace. She lived a shorter life, but left her mark in this world and her love still carries on.
