Hey there!
I’m Shaila, before we meet, learn a little about me. Aside from being a photographer, I’m a wife to my best friend, Jeff and a mom to my favorite people in the world, Maverick, Cesina & Watson.
Family has always been very important to me, which is one reason why I chose a career as a family therapist. I worked for several years doing in-home counseling before “retiring” to be a stay-at-home mom. After having my son & being in awe of the photographer (who is also my cousin) at his newborn session, I decided I wanted to learn photography. Capturing memories has been a passion instilled in me by my mom, who constantly had me taking pictures. Photographs have been essential in my family & now I am usually the one making everyone get together for a picture. Looking back at old photos from 5 to 50 years ago is a favorite past time of mine. I have lost loved ones over the recent years, and I am so thankful for the memories captured in photos.
I have loved taking something that I am passionate about and creating this business to share it with others. Whether it’s with me, another photographer or just your cellphone, get your family in front of a camera and capture your memories!
Along the same vein of photography, special events have always been something I am passionate about. Growing up, my parents made every occasion so special and memorable. In planning my wedding and getting to create a lot of big and small details, I fell in love with the party planning process, which only grew bigger as I started having parties for my children. I started out (and still am) the event coordinator at our church, which has graciously given me the opportunity and experience to grow in this passion. Now I have the privilege of working with so many wonderful people in creating special touches to special events through my business!
I look forward to meeting you and working with you on creating memories and building a relationship that allows me to serve your family for years to come!
