Photography

I started my business in photography in 2016 and I am very passionate about capturing candid and beautiful moments in families from the moment they learn they are expecting until their babies are no longer little ones. I am completely over the moon with Birth Photography.

PostPartum Care

After years of supporting families through newborn photography, I noticed a huge need on providing emotional and physical support to new parents during this time. Providing Postpartum Doula care is definitely a dream come true.

 
 

The Experience!!!

I want clients to feel like friends and family when I work with them. We’ll laugh (even cry) together, we’ll have fun and be patient with the little ones, all while capturing special and unique moments in a way that tells your story!

 
Testimonials
J.P. - Newborn to One Year Bundle

We can't say enough wonderful things about Shirley - she truly is the best! We were lucky enough to have Shirley take both our newborn and one year birthday photos! She did an incredible job at capturing these very special milestones for our family. We're so grateful to have them as keepsakes for years to come. Also, not only is Shirley an incredibly talented and confident photographer, she has a heart of gold and the patience of a saint! She truly understands how to work with babies, children, and families to help capture their very best moments. We look forward to working with Shirley again next year, for our second year birthday/family photos!

S.H. - Bump-to-Baby Bundle

Shirley was truly the right fit for our Maternity and Newborn sessions. Her photography captures these special moments in your life, and we now have these beautiful pictures to look at and show our children the journey through pregnancy.
Shirley made my husband and I feel so comfortable in the pictures, we felt like we had a friend with us the entire time. The pictures speak for themselves, but she was able to capture our love and these special moments in time forever. We can't thank Shirley enough for her exceptional work and talent, and for being such a professional and focused photographer.

Y.C. - Maternity Session

I booked Shirley for my maternity photos. Not only was Shirley very accommodating to my late request in photos, scheduled me a couple of days before my due date, she was amazing in communication (fast and detailed). I had sent emails to many different photographers and it did not compare to Shirley's attention to her clients. She answered all my questions and concerns with patience, had me at ease! Shirley shared my idea with multiple suggestions and sent an email with tips and plan for the day of shooting - I included the family in the photos (2 & 4) and solo photos. The day was freezing! But she made the best of it and we did three outfit changes! I'm grateful to have met Shirley and shared the moment with her. <3 Highly Recommend! 

W.K. - Bump-to-Baby Bundle

Where to begin! Shirley captured both our maternity and newborn photoshoot. I knew from the first conversation with her that her goal was to understand my husband and I as a couple as well as what a new baby meant for our lives as a family. As a mom to two herself she completely knew how it felt to be on the other side of the camera and anticipated and prepped us for all to come. She was completely supportive throughout the photography process and truly captured the excitement and love that our little boy brought to us. She felt more like a friend than a hired professional in our home and made sure that we were prepared and felt taken care of. I cannot recommend Shirley more for your maternity and newborn photographer. She is kind, intelligent, professional and SO great at her job.

C.M. - Maternity Session

I highly recommend Shirley Anne’s photography services! She did our maternity photoshoot a few weeks ago. She truly went above & beyond during our shoot. We have a 2 year old daughter who was all over the place, yet Shirley was able to get some amazing shots. My pregnancy has been difficult but when I look back on our photos I’ll see nothing but beauty. That’s all thanks to Shirley. She’s excellent at what she does & she’s one of the most friendly people you could ever hope to meet. If you’re searching for an amazing photographer, you found her. Thank you so much Shirley!

S.S. - Newborn Session

Five star service!! From the moment I connected with Shirley, I felt at ease sharing our unique adoption story. She was so kind and compassionate. After we booked the newborn session, Shirley took the time to discuss what type of photos we would be looking for. My family and I were comfortable inviting her into our home like a friend. She was wonderful with the little ones, even making sure to wash her hands before handling our babies. She is a natural at what she does! Thank you Shirley.

S.C.-Birth Story

Shirley was my birth photographer and also took breastfeeding photos of me and my son. My birth was very personal and delicate as I had lost my son before this one. She came in almost unnoticed and captured all of our special moments. She was timely and professional and worked with my doula to ensure that everything went smoothly.

C.C.-Newborn Session

Shirley is the absolute best! Not only was she extremely professional and easy to work with, but her demeanor in handling my fussy baby was incredible. Shirley took such great care of our daughter during the shoot that my sleep-deprived husband and I were able to just sit back, relax, and sip coffee. Her stunning photos easily speak for themselves. They are the most beautiful newborn photos, and 100% worth the investment.

A.K.-Birth Story

You could not be inviting a more beautiful soul into your birth story! I only wish I would have known Shirley 6.5 years ago with our first baby! I have never been more thankful to have taken a chance and booked Shirley. She’s very knowledgeable and makes you feel soo confident and beautiful. The end product are photos that will no doubt be some of my most valued possessions.

K.W.-Birth Story

After the birth of my first child and no memories of it, I knew I wanted a photographer for my second birth. Shirley was very highly recommended to me in local groups so I booked her without hesitation and I'm so glad I did! She is very responsive and kind, always made me feel important, and was really flexible to meet with me. The video and photos are more than I imagined and I'm very grateful for them.
