A Postcard from Tennessee with Taylor Hayden
Taylor Hayden (@taylornicolehayden) is a creator, model, mom and photographer, currently soaking up slow summer moments at a Tennessee lake house with her family. Known for her warm, welcoming energy and effortlessly yet elevated style, Taylor shares a glimpse into the beauty of everyday family life.
In this feature, she takes us inside her family’s lakeside escape, from her favorite swim spots and sunset cliffs, to what’s in her lake tote, and how she keeps travel smooth (ish) with a toddler in tow.

Tips for Traveling With a Toddler
Go with the flow. Be flexible. Don’t put too much pressure on a plan or itentiary and remember you are creating their childhood. I always want my kids to remember me being chill & present rather than being stressed on vacayyy.
Where to Next?
Hawaii hopefully ! Somewhere tropical and warm.
