“
You have mastered the magical combination of being a “fly on the wall” and being present to the needs and the moments of the room. You exude love and support above and beyond the assumed role of photographer.”
~ A.S.
“
It seemed very important to Shea to genuinely connect with us before, during and after our experience with her. It didn’t feel like we were “just another client”, in fact it didn’t feel “business-y” at all. She really listened to our wishes for our sessions and delivered exactly what we were hoping for.”
~ S.F.
“
Shea is a fantastic photographer… and takes such beautiful pictures that tell a powerful story. You can feel the emotion in the pictures and video and any slideshows she puts together. But even more important than being a good birth photographer, Shea is such a kind and genuine person who you will want to have in your birth space. She has the ability to be invisible while taking pictures but also be right there as a calm and supportive presence. We will definitely be hiring her again for any future children we have!”
~ A.R.
“
You HAVE to have Shea at your birth! She will sleuth around like a tiny ninja and will capture the most spectacular story of your baby's birth. Shea is a calm and welcome presence at any birth and her photos are breathtaking.”
~ C.S.
“
I would say that Shea is first and foremost one of the kindest, most generous, and thoughtful people I know, and on top of that she is incredibly talented and professional. She isn't intrusive or commanding in a room, in fact, I didn't even notice her during the birth. She was like a quiet fox, sneaking around the room and getting shots from so many different angles that afterward didn't seem physically possible in such a short instance.”
~ A.L.
“
She is what I like to call a birth photographer PLUS....she is helpful and encouraging, supportive during labour and postpartum, and knowledgeable about the birth and postpartum experience, which is so valuable during such a vulnerable and life changing time in a person's life. She captures the details that you might have missed at the time, but are so thankful to be able to reflect on and cherish after the fact. Top to bottom, a genuine pleasure to work with.”
~ A.L.
“
Across the course of our interactions Shea gave the impression that she cares deeply for her clients and showed the desire to learn more about us as people first (we got to go on a lovely dog walk together in the early days). It showed us that Shea valued what was important to us and that she would be fully engaged in the experience with us. It made the whole experience more authentic and provided opportunity for a true personal connection, rather than simply a business transaction.”
~ M.L.
“
The best part of our experience was Shea. I felt so relaxed with Shea, she brought a warmth, sense of ease like an old friend from the moment my hubby & I first met her. Shea asked so many questions, wanting to deliver what we were hoping for, it takes a special, compassionate individual to successfully achieve what Shea delivers, so naturally her work shines just as much as she does.”
~ A.J.
“
I am so grateful that you were able to capture my emotions as my baby was brought up to my chest. I didn't expect to feel so overwhelmed with joy and relief; to have photos of the best moment of my life is an incredible gift and a chance to experience it again. Thank you SO much for this.”
~ L.M.
“
Shea feels like family, not only is she amazing at her work but she also have a calming and positive presence that adds to the birthing experience. She is the most pleasant and down to earth photographer I have met, it felt like we had known Shea for a long time”
~ P.S.
“
It was like having your friend or family member in the room, being helpful when help was needed but then completely unnoticed when photos were being taken. Nothing was overbearing, the added support was so appreciated and the photos of these memories were more than I ever could have hoped for.”
~ N.T.
“
My Husband wasn’t too sure if it was worth the investment at first, but he LOVES having the photos to look at and see what he wasn’t seeing in those moments. Her also said having Shea there was a HUGE help when I was needing something to drink, or cold cloths because she knew her way around and was getting things for him to give to me”
~ K.S.
“
Shea is not just someone who takes amazing photos, but she becomes your friend in the process. She goes above and beyond to be a support and a photographer”
~ T.O.
“
Shea goes above and beyond during the whole experience. From being on call from 24/7, to driving long distances in a snowstorm.. she was a comfort during contractions and a calming presence.”
~ H.S.
“
I love how professional and informative the website and email correspondence was. You are easy to communicate with and quick to respond. You have a super lovely personality and you made us feel very comfortable.”
~ R.W.
“
The best choice I made to be able to remember my birth journey was have Shea work her magic for us. Having other birthing team members who are not professional photographers take photos could never compare! Shea is such a lovely human and is wholeheartedly present, experienced, helpful and discreet while documenting your birthing journey.”
~ J.W.
“
When you choose to hire Shea, you don’t just have a photographer, you have a friend at the end of the experience. Someone who truly cares about you and your family”
~ A.K.
“
I am so appreciative to Shea for her help, guidance, and kindness during our time together. She is so naturally compassionate and perfectly comfortable which helps to lead and create a beautiful and peaceful energy”
