Because how can I expect you to feel comfortable and be yourself in front of my camera if I don’t show up the same way?
I know having your photo taken can feel awkward — like you’re supposed to suddenly know what to do, where to stand, or how to look “natural.” That’s never been the expectation here. I’ve been in front of the camera myself plenty of times, I'm never quite sure where to look or how to hold my hands. My job as the photographer is to guide you through it, keep things relaxed, and create space for moments that actually feel like you.
Hi, I'm Shea. I grew up in Southern California and have moved all over between college and post grad. I currently reside in West Texas and most recently moved from the west slope of Colorado. I have two beautiful children and one on the way. You will catch glimpses of them throughout my portfolio! I absolutely love shooting couples and more specifically engagements and elopements.
Capturing the real moments and genuine connections so that you walk away with images that feel like you.
Choosing a photographer to capture your special moments is not something to take lightly. You want to be absolutely in love with these photos!. So I think it is important for you to know that I put my heart and soul into every session and wedding because you want a photographer who shows up and follows through from the day book to final gallery + beyond.
I’ve been photographing since 2019, and while I keep things relaxed, I take delivery seriously and value clear communication throughout the process. You’ll never be left wondering where your photos are — most sessions and elopements are delivered within a week and a half, and full weddings are always back within three weeks. I communicate clearly, guide you when needed, and keep the entire experience feeling easy, stress-free, and well-supported from start to finish.
Travel is always a yes (availability permitting). Some packages have the travel fees in the packages. The ones that don't I have a rate per mile we can talk more about. Whether it’s close to home or somewhere new, I’m always down to pack a bag and chase something different.
Planning support is part of the deal. I offer client questionnaires, timeline and planning help, optional second shooters, (working on drone coverage) and same-day sneak peeks. I’ll guide you when you need it, step back when you don't, and keep things moving without feeling rushed.
