Hey Everyone!

​​

My name is Taylor Payne, and I’m a photographer and creative professional born and raised in Athens, Georgia. I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design, along with minors in Spanish and Photography. With a passion for thoughtful, sustainable, and innovative design, I continue to expand my craft both behind the camera and within the design industry.

Photography has been a part of my life for over a decade, and it has gifted me countless unforgettable experiences. I’ve had the honor of capturing everything from the quiet bond between a man and his best friend, to timeless Southern celebrations beneath Savannah’s iconic Spanish moss, to milestones ranging from first birthdays to 21st. Every story, every face, and every fleeting moment has shaped me into the photographer I am today.

For me, photography is far more than a profession—it’s a calling. The opportunity to preserve genuine emotion and create meaningful memories for others is the greatest reward. I would love the chance to get to know you and bring your story to life through my lens. You’re always welcome at the Phactory.
