We absolutely love our pictures. Our whole family is raving over them. We received our photos very quickly after the shoot which was great! Sheila made us feel comfortable and we got so many angles and backgrounds in one hour. A very fun experience and I know I’ll be looking at these pics for years to come 😊🫶

Sheila was very proactive in communication. She gave me great advice about contacting a concierge close to where we planned to do the engagement photos. She arrived early and scouted the area and texted me a good location for me to propose. She came up with the plan for me to just ask her to take a picture with my phone and then she would offer to take a picture with her camera. She made great suggestions as to where to take the pictures. She was very pleasant and easy to work with and she finally delivered 130 pictures very quickly. Thanks for helping to make the proposal so special.

Details: Candid style (captured in the moment) • Outdoors • One location • 1 - 10 shots • Online or digital proofs and prints • $$$$ (high-end) • I travel to the engagement photographer • The engagement photographer travels to me

Sheila did our engagement photos. She was fun and helpful with poses and backgrounds. She even got stung by a bee and shook it off like a champ and finished our session. Even when I was ready to call it a day she kept wanting to take photos because of the sky. We ended up using one of those last photos in the save the dates. She was really awesome and can't wait for her to do our wedding pictures!
