Choosing a photographer is more than checking off a box, it’s choosing someone you can fully trust to tell your story. I create warm, emotive, and timeless imagery by building genuine trust with every couple I work with. My approach is calming, personable, and grounded in understanding, so you feel confident to be yourselves, laugh freely, and sink into the moments that matter. Whether you're celebrating a wedding, an elopement, or a milestone like graduation, you’ll be supported, guided, and photographed in a way that feels effortless and deeply true to you.

Photography has always been a steady source of joy in my life, even through seasons of deep loss and healing. My husband, Waylon, and I live on a small farm in Spanish Fork, where we raise animals, grow a garden, and embrace a simple, down-to-earth way of living. When I’m not photographing love stories, you’ll find me cooking from scratch, rereading Jane Eyre, or revisiting my longtime favorite movie series — the Twilight Saga.
We moved to Utah in 2024, but the Texas spirit still runs strong in our home. I’m grateful you’re here, and I can’t wait to connect and learn more about your story, too.
The photos weren’t just cute, they truly reflected who we are as a couple. I left the session feeling so excited and grateful, and I already know I’ll be booking with her again. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s talented, personable, and has a gift for capturing genuine moments, she’s the one to book with.

Shayna was wonderful to work with! She arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel at ease throughout the session. She was easy to communicate with to make our appointment and was able to be flexible with our busy schedule. She took the time to position and pose my son well. We are so happy to have these keep sake photos.

My couples value connection, feeling, and authenticity. You want someone who notices the quiet moments, who captures the in-between without being asked, and who feels like a friend with a camera. That’s where I come in — steady, warm, and focused on your experience just as much as your photos.
