The Years Go Quickly

I still remember holding our boys for the first time.
That anxious trepidation, and immediate sense of sweetness, and need to protect.  
It feels like it happened a couple of weeks ago, and here we are, almost 6 years later.
As a Mom, I understand all those times you run your fingers through that curl on the back of their neck, stare at those little pudgy fingers, and dance to that joyful laugh that lights up the world.
We will go out into nature (or even in your home!), let the kids run around and play, and grab photos of them in their natural element--playing, laughing, dancing, throwing sand....so that you can have photos, physical artwork, and even video if you choose, of these priceless moments to look back on for years to come. 

...even if the days feel slow sometimes! 

The Booking Process

  1. Shoot me a message to let me know you are interested, and include your desired booking timeframe, as well as any questions you may have. If you'd like, we can also schedule a zoom call (or in-person, whatever you prefer) to chat.
  2. Fill out your contract, your questionnaire, and pay a non-refundable retainer of $200 to save your spot. (The questionnaire is SUPER helpful, as I will refer to it for all of the important details leading up to your session!) 
  3. You are officially booked!  Easy peasy.  Once you are fully booked, I'll reserve your date in the calendar, and send you a wardrobe and session guide, as well as help you with any questions you may have along the way!

"I can't say enough about Shayna! She does our family photos. She is able to give us the best photos! I promise the investment is worth it. I look at them everyday and I still smile at all of the wonderful memories she was able to capture for us of everyone, things that I wouldn't have seen or remembered. I can't thank her enough!!!"

-Heather H.

"These photos, and our experience with Shayna, allowed us to give way to the fleeting moments and the tale as old as time, and instead, LIVE. Live with the knowledge that our life right here and now is tender and special and messy and loved. We are thankful to treasure it. And preserve it. And live it. ❤️

-Dana M.

"Shayna was so great with my family and kids. She brought snacks and prizes for the kiddos, and made the whole session feel like another trip at the beach. We felt so comfortable just having fun in the sand and water, it didn’t feel like a photo shoot at all!"

-Pia P.
