We absolutely recommend her and had the best time thanks to her. We love you, Sheila!!!.”

“We live out of town and hired Sheila as our photographer in North Carolina and she was a complete gift to us. Not only is she an amazing photographer and fully delivered photos exactly how I envisioned them, but she also connected us to an incredible caterer, florist, and hair and makeup. Sheila invests in you as a couple and takes the time to get to know you, your personal love story, and your vision of life together, and then brings all of that out in her pictures. A complete joy to be around and I would not hesitate to use her again and again! Forever Grateful for her!.”
— Stephanie T.
“Sheila is AMAZING!!!!! We were so nervous about having our engagement photos done and she made us feel incredibly comfortable, something we both thought was impossible.

It was a freezing cold day but her energy and enthusiasm was so encouraging and she made it such an amazing experience.

Only the absolute best. If you have read my About page already, then you know that my late dad was also a professional photographer and he taught me the love of photography through his film lenses. Therefore, I learned at an early age that it is the person/artist who is carrying the gear that makes the most impact. So, while I always carry the top-of-the-line Canon equipment, I also invest in educating myself continually to stay refreshed and focused to deliver the quality of work that I feel that my dad would be proud of. (cue the happy tears!)
