Whether updating your family portraits or celebrating the joy of a new baby, you deserve a photographer dedicated to drawing out your family’s dynamic personality and capturing authentic moments you’ll look back on for generations to come.

Washington DC Luxury, Premier Photographer

I care deeply about how your family is documented. One of my superpowers is helping you and your kids feel relaxed and comfortable in front of my camera so your personalities shine. It’s one thing to get family photos taken. It’s another to look back and remember the silly inside joke you were telling when you threw back your head in a laugh, to see the love in each other’s eyes, knowing this would be a memory you’d hold onto forever. That’s what I’m here for. Through a light, vibrant, and timeless photography style, I aim to provide you with a seamless experience and photos you’re proud to share, print, and display wherever your heart desires.

I’m a wife, mom, cat (and dog) lady, pilates enthusiast, and seasoned photographer, but here’s what you really need to know about me…

Hey, I’m Shey!

meet shey

Shey is an incredible talent and one of a kind! She has remarkable taste, an artistic eye, and a way with people --especially kids (she is a baby whisperer) that makes photo shoots fun, relaxing, and the results truly spectacular. I have received so many compliments on her work, which is on display throughout our house, and recommended so many friends who have also been thrilled with the results. Shey has been there to capture so many milestones in my adult life, starting with my engagement, first pregnancy, the birth of our daughter, and now, in a few weeks, the birth of our second. I can't imagine trusting anyone else to capture these once-in-a-lifetime moments.

“She has remarkable taste, an artistic eye, and a way with people – especially kids (she is a baby whisperer) that makes photoshoots fun, relaxing, and the results truly spectacular.” 

Shey has provided an exceptional experience for us. From the beginning, she prioritized our comfort and went above and beyond by arranging an ASL interpreter to ensure effective communication. Her dedication extended beyond photography; she also nurtured and captured precious moments with our newborn. Even with a toddler who tends to be uncooperative, Shey managed to capture our child's beautiful smiling face. We are incredibly grateful for the overall experience and for Shey's commitment to our comfort. The pictures we received from Shey have exceeded our expectations, and we are absolutely in love with them. Thank you, Shey, for providing us with the best possible service.

“SHE PRIORITIZED OUR COMFORT AND WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND BY ARRANGING AN ASL INTERPRETER TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION. HER DEDICATION EXTENDED BEYOND PHOTOGRAPHY.”

Our experience with Shey surpassed all our expectations and produced the most beautiful pictures of our new baby! We can't recommend Shey highly enough (seriously, five stars is NOT enough!). Shey is amazing to work with. She's kind, communicative and really responsive. She put us all at ease (including the baby) so quickly. The photos, video, prints and album are stunning and we love every single photo that she took - the hardest part was choosing which ones to include in the album because we loved them all. Shey worked with us after the shoot to make sure that everything we ordered came quickly and was exactly as we wanted it to be. We'll be coming back to Shey for our next photos.

“OUR EXPERIENCE WITH SHEY SURPASSED ALL OUR EXPECTATIONS. THE PHOTOS, VIDEO, PRINTS AND ALBUM ARE STUNNING AND WE LOVE EVERY SINGLE PHOTO THAT SHE TOOK.”
