I believe the most beautiful photographs aren't the ones where everyone is posing perfectly, but the ones where you can feel the love radiating through the frame. I’m here to capture the honest, unscripted chapters of your family's legacy.

A Photography Experience Designed Around Comfort

Let's be entirely honest: almost no one walks into a photography session feeling completely relaxed. If the thought of standing in front of a camera makes you nervous, or if you're worried your toddlers won't sit still, you are in the right place. My approach is rooted in gentle guidance and genuine connection. We won't stand around stiffly counting to three. Instead, we’ll play, laugh, and explore beautiful Central Florida locations together. Your session will feel like an intentional evening spent with your favorite people—I just happen to have a camera in my hands.

Honoring Your History, Preserving Your Legacy

As a visual storyteller, I view my camera as a tool for preservation. Your family's history isn't meant to be hidden away on a digital cloud or trapped on a hard drive. It deserves to live out in the open, warming your living room walls and filling custom heirloom albums that your children will turn through years from now. Whether I am documenting an intimate Orlando courthouse wedding, celebrating a high school graduate's bright future, or capturing the playful chaos of your beloved family pet, I approach every frame with deep respect for the legacy you are actively building.

A Few Little Things About Me

A Maker at Heart: I often joke that I collect hobbies as a hobby! I am a deep DIYer by nature and love to create with my own two hands. Whether I am sewing, using power tools, painting a room, or installing custom board and batten, I believe that the things we physically create make the world a more welcoming, beautiful place.

Baking & Baking Memories: When I’m not behind the lens or holding a power tool, you can usually find me in the kitchen baking sweet treats with my girls. It’s chaotic, messy, and absolutely full of the kind of honest joy I love to document for other families.

My Chief Cheerleader: None of my creative endeavors would be possible without my incredible husband. He is my absolute rock, my financial support, and the loud cheerleader behind every single wild idea and project I take on.

Studio Shay: Something that started out as a "what if" has totally transformed my small business journey. It's quickly becoming a huge part of the business! When designing the sets, I love the philosophy of getting things second hand and DIYing whatever I can. Feel free to stop by and say hi if you're at one of our events!

The "Why" Behind the Prints: My passion for printed artwork stems from my own lived experience. Knowing exactly what it feels like to lose digital memories makes me fiercely protective of yours, ensuring your family's history lives safely on your walls, not just on a hard drive.
