back to blog homeTaylor Raye Photography is a wedding and boudoir photographer rooted in connection, trust, and photographing people as they truly are. Based in South Bend, Indiana, Taylor’s work feels grounded and intuitive, focused on honest moments rather than staged perfection.
Her photography carries a quiet confidence. There is softness without fragility, and emotion without excess. Whether she is documenting a wedding day or a boudoir session, her images feel personal and lived in, shaped by comfort, presence, and genuine human connection.
That approach is reflected throughout her brand. Her website feels welcoming and unforced, creating space for visitors to slow down, explore her work, and get a clear sense of what it would feel like to work with her.

Taylor built her website using the Jericho Showit Template, which she customized herself. Rather than following the design exactly, she used the template as a flexible foundation and adapted it to fit her voice, aesthetic, and body of work.
Her imagery plays a central role in shaping the design. The layouts allow photos to breathe, giving emotional moments the space they need without distraction. Galleries feel immersive and intentional, guiding visitors through her work at a calm and natural pace.
Taylor’s website is a great example of what is possible with a well designed Showit template. By pairing thoughtful customization with intentional imagery and copy, she was able to create a site that feels cohesive, personal, and aligned with her brand.
The result is a website that feels distinctly her own. While the structure comes from the Jericho template, the finished site reflects Taylor’s unique style, values, and approach to storytelling.
