Creative Banter Podcast talks with Taylor Kern who lives in Reno, is a dog mom, and a full-time photographer.

Before Taylor went full-time photography, she was in nursing school and working part-time as a waitress.

Losing a loved one is what opened Taylor up to photography and that carries into her mission “…these moments that we’re not promised tomorrow, I just love capturing these moments.”

Special moments talking with Taylor:

“My mom is the biggest hype man in the universe”

“Doing what I love is the best frikkin thing in the entire universe”

In Taylor’s other life, she would be a professional dancer.  Harlee asked, “On your IG videos a few weeks ago, there were twerking videos. Was that you?” Yes, indeed, that was Taylor.

Find out what well-known photog Taylor named her dog after. Hint: the name is also a country. This photog is also a major inspiration for Taylor.

“I gain so much when I’m selfess. With my business and purpose in life, I want to give people purpose or gain something from me. Whether I had a following or not, I would be trying to change the world somehow, positively.”

“Most my clients become my best friends….You build such a connection.”

Before bed Taylor asks herself, “What ways was I giver today and what did I learn today and how did today add to the quality to my life?” This process has Taylor looking forward to the next day because “any day you wake up is a bonus day.”

Taylor talks meditation, quality time, journaling, and gratitude. By serving herself she can serve others.
