Meet Taylor Elchert Harrison, owner of Taylor Elchert Photography, located at 113 Melmore St. in Tiffin. Taylor began taking pictures as a hobby, and nine years ago, at the age of 15, launched her own business out of her parents' home.
"It was fun," she said. "My parents were very supportive, and I was so young I didn't have that pressure to make money."
Taylor's family is no stranger to entrepreneurship - her father is the owner of Fort Ball Pizza. Though they have two very different businesses, Taylor said she learned about owning a business watching how hard her dad works at it. "I am inspired by my dad," she said.
Taylor decided while going to college that she wanted to make photography her profession. "At first I was planning on doing it on the side," she said. "When I decided it was a full time career, I got serious about it. I needed a storefront."
The studio space allows her more freedom in her photo sessions and props. Her building houses a plethora of props, and there is always a seasonal set in place. "The set is real, that's really important to me," she said. "It's all about the experience for the client."
Taylor specialized in capturing "milestone" moments in peoples' lives. Her services include photos for maternity, family, births, newborns, and children.
One unique aspect of Taylor's studio is the finished product and her push away from digital files. "Digital doesn't last forever. I provide my clients with wall art, and a variety of other tangible products," she said.
