  • "My photos are amazing!! But this is what you expect from a photographer, right? Shala is MUCH MORE than a photographer! She is an imagery brand builder! Shala made me feel like a star during our session. She totally captured the image I was looking for in my branding, and we laughed A LOT during my session. It was like taking photos with my BFF/photographer/brand builder. I think this mix is Shala's magic for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera! I will use her services forever! You should, too."

    ERICA HALL, WORTH PLOTTING

  • “Before working with Shala, I felt anxious about doing a brand shoot, like I would never be ready. But as soon as I found her, I knew I had to go for it. She also is truly an expert in branding — during our first talk together, she helped me work through and finally gain clarity on specifics about my brand that I've spent years on the fence about. Shala was incredibly patient, professional, and cool. The photos were MAGIC...I'm in love with them. Really looking forward to hiring her again, soon!”

    ASHLEIGH ROBINSON, TYPE A INVITATION

  • “I was excited about making a branding story that really reflected who I am and I KNEW Shala was the woman to do it! I was totally at ease during the session. Shala made me genuinely laugh and feel so comfortable, so my photos came out looking natural and not staged. After the session, I was 110% assured in my decision to invest in the branding story. I could not be happier with the photos. I really feel like she captured me as a therapist. SHALA IS THE BEST! PERIOD.”
