Hi, I’m Taylor Spann, the heart and lens behind Calm Captures.

As a mom myself, I know how fleeting these moments can feel and how hard it can be to slow down long enough to capture them. When my 4 year old daughter was born at just over 1 pound and spent the first 6 months of her life in the NICU, I thought I knew “busy.” Now I follow her and my 2 ½ year old Autistic son around like a chicken with its’ head cut off.

I started Calm Captures to give every family, especially those raising children with disabilities* - a safe, patient, and judgment-free space to be photographed with love.

*special abilities : we can use whatever language you want to use

Whether your little one has a big personality, a sensory need, or just isn’t into sitting still, that’s okay. My sessions are patient, flexible, and full of grace. We’ll take breaks, follow your child’s lead, and celebrate your family exactly as you are.

I want your photos to feel like home — full of warmth, laughter, and the love that makes your family yours.
