So what about price?

Every shoot is different, and your pricing should be too. I offer competitive rates with custom quotes tailored to your needs, so you only pay for exactly what you want.

Brush & Shutter has never really been about just taking photos.

It’s about the idea before the shoot, the little details that build the scene, the people who help bring it to life, and all the experimenting that happens along the way.

Sometimes that means building a set from scratch. Sometimes it’s working with a makeup artist, designer or model to turn a loose concept into something completely different. Sometimes the best image comes from the moment we stopped posing altogether.

Tayla is the creative force behind the brand — part strategist, part storyteller, and fully obsessed with detail. With a Bachelor of Creative Arts majoring in Digital Media and Criminology, eight micro-credentials under her belt, and years of hands-on industry experience, she specialises in product and lifestyle photography with an editorial edge.

Add 3+ years in marketing and 7+ years in design and development, and you’ve got creativity backed by strategy.

So Why?

Why Photography
It started with adventures with my dad, exploring, noticing the little things, and wanting to keep those moments forever.

Why Brush & Shutter
I’ve always loved photography, art, and making things. Brush & Shutter lets me bring all of that together in one creative space.

Why Blue & Purple
Purple is my mum’s favourite colour, and blue used to be mine. They’re my way of keeping a little bit of home in everything I do.
