I am truly in shock that some of the babies I’ve been honored to capture are now turning 10!

If you have been photographed by me I would love for you to share some of my pictures in the comments!

If you get to see this because Im definitely out of the algorithm! 😓

In the midst of my silence there has been a lot of refocusing and rebuilding myself and my business.

One thing I worked on was my website, please check it out!

This July my business will be 10 years old!

Its bittersweet!

Honest. Intimate. Story-Driven Photography. Newborn • Maternity • Family • Branding Book your Session I don’t just take photos. I preserve memories, the laughter, the love, and the perfectly imperfect moments you’ll treasure forever. Hi, I’m Shirley — part photographer, part doula, par...

Your business is personal. Your photos should be, too.

I’ve had the honor of stepping behind the lens for some incredible people — from the calming presence of doulas and the energy of teachers, to the sharp focus of business coaches and financial specialists.

The one thing they all have in common? They needed their digital "first impression" to match the heart and expertise they bring to their work every day.

I’m booking Headshot & Branding Sessions for:
• Solopreneurs who need to show the face behind the brand.
• Agencies & Teams looking for a cohesive, professional look.
• Creatives & Consultants who want to move away from stiff, "corporate" headshots.

Whether you need a "power suit" look or something warm and lifestyle-focused, I’m here to help you look like you (on your very best day).

DM me for more info, or tag a business owner who might be ready for their glow-up! 📸

Have you been curious about Doula Chats… but not quite ready to commit?

I am opening up ONE free session for expectant families who want a taste of what we talk about and how we gather.

🗓 Thursday, March 12
🕕 6 pm
📍 Zoom

Doula Chats are relaxed, judgment-free conversations about pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum. We talk through real questions. We untangle hospital policy versus true informed choice. We practice using BRAIN. We build confidence.

No pressure. No medical advice. No sales pitch. Just steady, evidence-based support in community.

If you are pregnant and craving a space to ask your real questions, this is for you.

Save your seat. I would love to see you there.

👉 Comment "FREE" and I'll DM you the link to register.

Happy New Year!

😂

Why my next pregnancy I’m hiring a photographer…

Because THIS… me, throwing up into a hospital puke bag with a catheter in is the ONLY picture my husband took during my 2nd labor & delivery. The only one. Besides a couple videos of me completely out of it.

Out of the entire miracle-of-life, woman-warrior, “I am literally bringing a human into the world” experience… this is what he chose to capture. 🤦🏼‍♀️📸

And listen, I love this man. Truly. But if I do this again, I’m bringing a hype woman. A designated photo-taker. Someone who knows the difference between “capture the miracle” and “capture her absolutely unhinged in a hospital gown.” Because moms deserve proof that we did more than vomit and sweat through the most intense day of our lives.

But hey… at least it’s authentic. Raw. Real. And a beautiful reminder of how motherhood starts: with humor, humility, and a man who thinks he did something because he held my water cup 💀
