ABOUT Shala Wilson Photography
Our Why
Shala’s been a full-time entrepreneur since 2005. She’s owned and operated several businesses at the same time (because she’s either really ambitious or really crazy), from a branding and design firm to a coworking space for creatives.
As a certified branding expert who has helped brand hundreds of organizations, she combines her brand strategy, her love of supporting women, and her passion for telling powerful stories into her photography sessions. She couldn't be more excited about every opportunity she has to ignite confidence in women as they courageously chase their callings.
Brand Values
The foundation of every brand is their values. Values are the things that point you true north. They inform how you operate. As a photographer, Shala values authenticity, growth and fun!
-
Every photograph I take captures your authentic brand story, one that is meaningful, confident and full of truth.
-
I create value for every client I serve. An investment in brand-driven photography strengthens and positions you to grow professionally.
-
Having your portrait taken shouldn't feel like going to the dentist! Our time together is our own adventure, and I work to infuse it with joy and laughter.
