Welcome

home,

Where every day feels like a saturday.

I'm Shayna (or Shay, if you've been hanging out with me for a while). I'm a Traveling Lifestyle Photographer, Mentor, Wife, and Boy Mama.

If you're reading this I'm beyond stoked that our paths have crossed. Welcome to my little corner of the internet where everyone is welcome and every track of life is worth preserving.

Here, with me, you can:
  • replay your favorite song as many times as you want.
  • change your style and vibe as often as you feel.
  • relive the best moments of yesteryear time and time again.

Is there a discount for paying for my session in full?

There is! Just let me know prior to signing your contract to receive $25 off.

Do you travel anywhere?

With a reasonable travel fee, just tell me when and where, and I’m there! The setting of your photos means everything!

Are travel fees included in the Love Story Elopement and Micro-Wedding Package?

Travel fees are not included in the Love Story Package. This package is the most customizable as elopements and micro-weddings typically follow a unique timeline and may include multiple locations.

Can I bring someone with me to my session?

You absolutely can! We love a hype team. If you are bringing someone to actually be a part of your session, please let me know as this will incur an additional $25 fee per person so that they may receive the rights to the images as well.

What is included on the personalized style guide?

If requested, I will gather the names and sizes of those participating and personally shop for items and pieces to tell your story. This includes access to dress rentals from the Kindred Soul as well as client closet pieces. I will send you a photo of what everything looks like styled together so that we can work on bringing the vision to life.

What is the current travel fee?

Currently the official government travel fee per the IRS is set to .67 cents per mile. For those that book a session in the Spotsylvania County area there is a hometown flat rate discount of $150. If you are booking for an out-of-state session, I’d love to chat more about how we integrate this fee into your payment plan.

What is your current turnaround time?

My current turnaround time is 2-4 weeks for sessions and 6-8 weeks for weddings. Editing is a process that I take very seriously. After all, your images and memories are forever. Each image is thoughtfully hand edited and goes through multiple processes to give you a beautiful and well-curated gallery.

Do you have mentorship opportunities?

I absolutely do! If you are a photographer interested in a mentorship or shoot-along please send me a message and I’d love to put together exactly what you’re needing. From shooting and editing, to Honeybook and Business, I’m here to help and be a friend in the industry.

"We will be using her for all of our life's milestones. "

-  THE Carter's

"Working with Shayna was amazing! Not only is her work incredible, but she was efficient, knowledgeable and fun. She was the first person I reached out to when I found out we were pregnant. I can’t wait to have her capture this next chapter."

"Our experience with Shayna could not have been any better!"

- THE KIRBY’S

"She made my daughter feel so special and really talked her through the whole senior session experience. She was a bit nervous at the outset because she had no idea what to expect. Within a couple of minutes into the session, she was completely at ease and grinning from ear to ear. The photographs were absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend her to anyone for any experience."

"Shayna is absolutely amazing to work with"

- JENNA L.

"I am obsessed with every session we have done with her! She has done our maternity, newborn, first birthday photos. I’m in love with her editing style and she has incredible styling ideas for outfits. She is easy to communicate with and always makes each session an enjoyable experience."

"Shayna checks every box."

- SAvannah H.

"Shayna was a true artist and professional from the beginning to end of our entire experience. From excellent help styling, to punctual communication, ease and professionalism at the shoot, to the final delivery of our (beautiful) gallery, our experience was incredible. I smiled the entire time I scrolled through our photos and you will feel the same way with your own gallery!
