One word of advice: When your gallery arrives – get out your tissues!

Shanna-Kaye was so incredibly patient, loving, and kind to our kids and made them feel so comfortable with the entire shoot.

She spoke to them, encouraged them, and made even my most camera-shy child shine and laugh.

Her photos are ones we will cherish our whole lives and I cannot recommend her enough. She helped me with picking out clothes, getting kids out of the car when we arrived, and let me just watch the magic unfold. We all had such a great time with her and will definitely use her amazing services again in the future!

I am always in awe when I get the images back

Shanna-Kaye is such a wonderful photographer and person! She is so talented and I am always in awe when I get the images back.

I have 4 boys, twin three year olds, a four year old and a five year old. To try to get them to sit still for pictures is absolutely like herding cats.

She is so patient and works absolute magic!

We were very impressed with the time she took to soothe the babies

Shanna-Kaye did a session with my twins. We were very impressed with the time she took to soothe the babies and with how she handled them, especially with there being two of them. We had a great session and got so many awesome pictures from it. I would definitely use her again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

She just makes it look so easy

I had my son's first year milestone photos taken with her. She is truly amazing! Since then, I have had sibling photos done, which can be very hard with 2 toddlers, and she just makes it look so easy. I highly recommend her. I will also be going back for more memories to be captured.

Truly has an eye for beauty and the patience of Job

I had maternity and newborn photos taken by Shanna-Kaye Photography.

Shanna-Kaye is a very talented photographer who truly has an eye for beauty and the patience of Job. She spent several hours working with my daughter to capture breathtakingly beautiful images. My husband and I were extremely satisfied with the high quality images that we received from both sessions with Shanna-Kaye and look forward to working with her again.

I would urge anyone truly interested in stepping up their photography skills or business to contact her

A few days ago I had a mentoring session with Shanna-Kaye. I know she has just started to offer this service (Godsend is more like it), but if you're on the fence about any sort of mentoring you definitely NEED this!!

SK is incredibly understanding and relatable and makes asking questions a breeze! As a fellow photographer I value her advice with incredibly high regard. And you can tell by the consistency of her work than any mentoring in the areas of editing or getting to know your camera would be time and money well spent!!

I would urge anyone truly interested in stepping up their photography skills or business to contact her ASAP!
