I'M ALLINA TAYLOR,
Luxury WEDDING + PORTRAIT
PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey there — I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Allina Taylor Maldonado (formerly Wilder), a luxury wedding and portrait photographer based in Farmington, New Mexico. Born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, I built this business from the ground up — leaving my nanny job in 2024 to pursue photography full-time. Through intentional storytelling, social media, and the kindest word-of-mouth from my clients, I’ve grown this into a career that’s both a creative outlet and my greatest joy.

My style is deeply inspired by both the timeless charm of the Pacific Northwest and the warmth of New Mexico — a blend of sophistication and soul. More than anything, I value connection. I aim to make every client feel cared for, known, and celebrated — not just as subjects in front of my lens, but as real people experiencing beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime moments.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me making a homemade vanilla latte, hiking, traveling, testing out new recipes, reading my Bible, or enjoying slow, intentional moments with my husband. Life moves fast — I’ve learned to savor the quiet in-between, and I bring that same intentionality to the way I photograph your story.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “I feel like we’d be friends” — I’d love to hear from you. Fill out the contact form and let’s bring your vision to life.

My Values

AUTHENTICITY

Take away what you “think” you should do for your session or wedding day. What makes sense for you? Trends will come and go. I’d rather you look back at your images and say “these feel fully like me”.

COMFORTABILITY

To piggy back off of authenticity, I want to create a comfortable space to bring your true self out. You will be complimented a million times while we are together, you’'ll be gently directed in the times you “don’t know what to do”, and we’ll probably be playing music to match the vibe. I am all about creating the best environment for you to shine.

RELATIONSHIP

A lot of my clients are repeat clients. I don’t say that to brag, but because I have seen the beauty of building actual relationships with those that hire me. With some, it started with shooting their proposal, then engagements, wedding, pregnancy announcement, maternity session, family photos, and so on.

I’m in it for the long haul, because I genuinely love building a connection with you!
