standing behind the lens due to her introverted personality .

In August 2023 , the sisters ’ journey led them to the Bonneville Salt Flats , where Megan photographed Alex ’ s attempt at a 200-MPH licensing run . Megan was particularly captivated by the unique location , which was different from the regular racetracks they usually visited . It was not only special to their family , but also a testament to the sisters ’ shared ability to seize new opportunities when they arise .

“ I would not be where I am today in my career if she wasn ’ t where she is . We always help each other grow and step up to new challenges ,” Megan says .

Recently , Taylor was unanimously voted into the Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council ( MPMC ) as a Member at Large . The MPMC is a council of the Specialty Equipment Market

Association ( SEMA ) established for companies involved in manufacturing functional performance parts . She serves on the Communications Committee and is primarily focusing on digitizing processes and increasing interaction with automotive manufacturers through social media . At 24 years old , Taylor is the youngest member to sit on the Council , but she brings a wealth of knowledge that aligns with the current modern era .

In early May , the Taylor sisters attended the annual SEMA and PRI Washington Rally . At the event , they met with members of Congress to discuss the Right to Repair Act . This Act is designed to protect vehicle owners ’ rights to repair or modify their vehicles with advanced technology and aftermarket parts if they wish to do so .

“ We had no idea what we were getting into , but once we arrived , it was amazing ,” Taylor says . “ We met with politicians , the president of SEMA , and learned that people can use their voice to protect their automotive freedoms .”

Taylor was fascinated to learn that the Specialty Automotive Aftermarket industry , which is closely connected to motorsports , generates $ 337 billion in annual economic impact and supports over 1.3 million American jobs . The sisters did not fully comprehend the significance of their actions on Capitol Hill until their father ’ s Facebook post garnered hundreds of messages of gratitude , thanking them for representing the car industry .

Experiencing a variety of special moments alongside her sister is what Taylor cherishes most . There is an unbreakable trust between the two of them , which can be hard to find in the world of motorsports media . Although there are times when they don ’ t always agree , the bond they share is a true testament to the success they have achieved so far .

Through her sister ’ s journey in establishing herself the industry , Taylor has been there every step of the way observing , learning , and growing into her very own role in the industry . For Taylor , her long-term goal is to continue adding unique projects to her already diverse portfolio . Her intention is to continue capturing all areas of motorsports through her love of photography , talent for storytelling , and passion for racing . DI
