We hired Shaila Photography for our daughter’s first birthday, and she did a wonderful job capturing the indoor celebration. We absolutely loved the photos and the beautiful moments she captured. She also offered an outdoor family shoot for me, my wife, and our baby, which made the experience even more special and complete. Shaila was professional, friendly, and great to work with. Highly recommended!

I hired Shaila to capture my sister’s baby shower for a few hours. She showed up on time, took directions on what we were trying to capture and even went out of her way to take some special one on one shots w my sister and her husband that resemble maternity shots. Photos I received were gorgeous and plentiful. Would absolutely hire again.

Details: My home, venue, etc.
