Sheila was great! The pictures came out very nice and the photo shoot was easy and natural. Sheila even went the extra mile to scope out our location the day before!

Details: Couples portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Physical proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

Wow! Sheila is incredibly kind AND talented. I hired Sheila to take family portraits and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat! I'm part of a blended family-- our group has lots of ages and life stages mixed in so taking a group photo can be tough. Sheila knocked it out of the park. Sheila was easy to contact and quick to reply. Her pricing and process were very transparent. She arrived on time and with a sparkling personality. She made us all laugh and feel comfortable. To top it all off, Sheila got our photos to us so quickly too! Don't hesitate, hire Sheila today!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive • My home, venue, etc.

Sheila was absolutely fantastic to work with for my medical school graduation portraits. Prior to scheduling the photo shoot she was engaged and interested in learning more about me and what I wanted out of the photo shoot. I was encouraged to share photos I liked for inspiration and during the photo shoot she knew exactly where to position me to get similar shots. She provided the right balance of guidance and positioning while also allowing me to take the reigns at times. I received the edited photos promptly and she remained in communication throughout the editing process, wanting to gain my perspective on the types of editing I wanted done. I must say that I am beyond impressed by the way my graduation portraits turned out! Sheila truly captured the joy and sense of accomplishment from this pivotal moment in my life, which I and my family will cherish for many years to come.
