Hi there and welcome!
I am a twin boy mom, a Modesto-based motherhood photographer & videographer, DONA-trained doula, and BBY certified birth photographer & videographer. I specialize in capturing the early years, and I count every child as a gift.
Hope to see you soon!
Modesto motherhood
Photographer • Videographer • doula
hen choosing a Modesto birth or newborn photographer, you will want someone with a calm presence and someone you can feel comfortable around and trust. . As a BBY Certified Birth Photographer, I have experience, knowledge, and extensive training that I bring with me to every birth.
I am also a DONA-trained doula, and have a Bachelor's degree in Child Development. Children are one of life's greatest joys and blessings, and I'm so excited to be on this journey with you from bump, to baby, and beyond.
My Approach to Birth & Motherhood Photography & Videography

I wanted to freeze time for a moment, so I started taking more photos, and a passion was born. Now, I provide beautiful photos that parents can cherish more and more as the years go by. Capturing these moments for you as your children come into this world and grow year by year brings so much meaning to my life. I love every moment of being a Modesto birth and motherhood photographer, and am so happy you are here!
can't believe I have been a Modesto photographer since 2017. It feels like yesterday when I got my first "real" camera and started taking photos of everything. When our long-awaited children came in December of 2018, I realized just how quickly they changed, even within weeks.
My Background in modesto birth and motherhood photography
When you book with me, my main goal is to create an experience that allows you to be yourselves, for all of you to relax into it. Because when the years fast forward, you aren't going to be as concerned with the perfectly poised photo as you will want to remember all the tender little things that make your kids who they are. They are your whole heart, and you will want to remember their little nuances.

"I booked a birth, maternity, and newborn session with Shayna and she made it a seamless and amazing experience from the start! She was quick to respond to messages and questions and was just so personable! I loved it! She is very detailed on making sure she knows exactly what you want and capturing it!
Shayna is an absolute pleasure to work with and I am so grateful that I had her be there to document all these milestones for my family! The photos turned out better than I even imagined and make my heart so happy! We will definitely be using her in the future for any family photos!"

"Shayna captured our birth photos for our surrogacy journey and didn't miss a single detail. She checked in frequently before birth, gave wonderful advice, and was consistent with her care. For us, this was a huge plus as her job was to capture photos, not care about us, but she managed to do both. I would rate her a 10/10 and HIGHLY recommend her.
Shayna, you were made for this."
