“Working with Tayla was an absolute dream — no pun intended, CloudTen! Her vision, her execution, and her intention are all unmatched, but more than anything… the energy she brought that invited and welcomed me to be FULLY myself + fully FREE on set is what really puts her art in a league of its own. I am such a fan, and forever a friend of CloudTen Photography.

“ I cannot recommend Cloud Ten Photography enough! Tayla is not just a photographer, she captures moments. She has done both a shot for one of my album covers and has shot multiple live shows for me as well. Her kindness and the quality of the shots always are over and above the expectations I have going into the shoot. She finds a way to make you comfortable and capture the essence of a moment, which is so much harder than just taking a photo. Her sensitivity to light in the shots, focus on simplicity, and the genuine love for what she does shines through each photo that she takes.”

“Cloud 10 Photography. The definition of spirt lead content. Content that is not just “trending” but ever- lasting and timeless. Each photo is edited with pure love and emotion. Tone by tone, shade by shade. You can almost feel it physically. It’s always a burst of joy to see on my page! Forever loving each and every photo and loving even more, the person behind the camera.”

“Cloud 10 changed everything I thought about photographers and content creators. As a fellow creator, I know how hard it is to be passionate about every single project - but Tayla finds a way to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have never met an individual who is more passionate about their craft and the quality of their content. The light and positive energy she has is contagious and you can’t help but feel better after being in her presence. Photography can leave people feeling super vulnerable and exposed - but with Cloud 10 - I never felt more confident and secure. She not only captured my likeness in these pictures but she was able to capture my spirit.”

One of the best photographers in the Triangle!”

“As a longtime supporter of Cloud Ten Photography, I’ve seen firsthand the ways that Tayla uses her craft to not only create art but to embrace, heal, and amplify the parts of people that deserve to be loved and put on full display. Cloud X Photography serves Durham and surrounding North Carolina communities by being an inclusive, local, Black-owned business intent with diversifying the ways we see photography and participate in it. It’s been years since I’ve been photographed by Tayla, but when it’s time for me to step in front of the camera again there is no doubt that she will have my business. 10/10, will always recommend.”

“Tayla’s lens is a mirror of the eyes of God.” A window through which we see the beauty in her subjects, not just the outward beauty, but the depths of what lies within. Tayla uplifts and encourages anyone who stands in front of her camera. To be photographed by Tayla is to be seen and known, to be vulnerable and powerful, and to not only feel love but to, in the end, recieve tangible evidence of it— one of her photographs.”

“Cloud 10 Photography best represents a breath of fresh air, or the fleeting moment when you look at the sky and realize how colossal the world is; and you, so full of life. Providing natural, earthy-soft tones in her work and obtaining a powerful image; is my favorite ability of Cloud10. Being able to find the perfect balance between soft and hard; it’s not an easy thing to create. Cloud10Photography represents the first spark of fire. A summer day underneath the shade. Warmth. Life. Skies. And Love.”
