Hi, I'm Shayna
I'm a Kentucky girl, born and raised. While I love traveling and exploring new places, there's just something about the comfort and beauty of home that can't be beat.
When I'm not behind the camera capturing special moments, I'm wearing many other hats. I'm a devoted follower of Jesus, a loving wife, a proud mama, friend, teacher, and an outdoor enthusiast. You can often find me adventuring in nature, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the simple pleasures that life has to offer.
I've been happily married to my wonderful husband, Riley, for 8 years. Together, we have two amazing kiddos, affectionately nicknamed "bird" and "bug" and other loving aliases. Add in our two lovable beagle fur babies, and you've got yourself a full-blown circus! We're slowly building our own mini farm near Kentucky Lake, with a garden that keeps us busy and fed and some little peeps joining the crew this year too. It's an adventure!
While photography is my passion, I have a range of interests that keep life interesting. I also work as a substitute teacher in our county, volunteer at my church, and enjoy planning events. I've also started creating logos for fellow photographers and businesses.
I love unleashing my creativity and I'm excited to hear from YOU about your upcoming photography needs! Drop me a message, and let's have a chat. I can't wait to meet you, learn more about your story, and create beautiful memories together.
MAY THIS BE THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP!

I absolutely adore being around people who radiate happiness and are deeply in love. There's something truly magical about those moments. Like when your grandparents have been married for decades, and your grandpa never hesitates to proclaim, "She's beautiful!" Even if your grandma blushes and hushes him, it's downright adorable! I feel privileged to have the opportunity to capture all those heartwarming moments for you to treasure forever.
