9: Water Cooler Convo with Taylor Baldwin

In this conversation, we’re in great company with Taylor Baldwin who you may know as Mama Photog and if you don’t know who Mama Photog is, then you might want to get familiar.

From her resonant storytelling to her perspective behind the lens, Taylor Baldwin is a visionary capturing the essence of Black women being on and off camera.

Specializing in photography, video, and content creation her impactful work is shifting and shaping narratives for the misrepresented with beauty, grace, style, and authenticity.

Taylor’s notable approach to film has been spotted in publications like Essence, CRWN Mag, W Magazine, Refinery 29, Complex, and many more.

A mother first and creative second, Taylor is a breath of fresh air with her unwavering vulnerability, taking us on an intimate journey of the ups and downs in her single and lover girl eras.

In the current midst of a pivot, she shows us that she’s more than just a mama behind the camera, but a multidimensional creative who’s basking in the bliss of curating a place called “Home”.
