Hi!

I'm Shalae (pronounced Shuh-lay, I know it's a hard name!) I'm a wife, mom, and lover of light and fashion. After graduating college and not being able to find a job, I turned to my photography hobby and decided to go all in. This has been a long time coming and I'm just so excited you're here!

When people ask where I'm from, I have a hard time answering since I've lived in many places after growing up in a military family and moving around on my own after high school. I've lived in Washington, Oregon, Utah, Texas, Germany, New Mexico, and now Arkansas, and love to travel!

I'm your Arkansas based International Wedding Photographer

“This was our first time taking photos from a photographer so we were pretty nervous. However, Shalae is so warm and friendly and talked us through the whole thing and had us laughing the whole time.”

I love weddings that tell a story through the imagery. I strive to produce high-quality images with a film-emulated, editorial, yet timeless feel, while also making it fun and showing the happiness of your day.

My goal is to make you feel comfortable and help make your engagement and wedding experience as fun and stress-free as possible!

One of my biggest strengths is making you feel good before, during, and after your pictures. I'm here to be your number one hype girl from beginning to end. I strive to be courteous, kind, fun, and professional every moment.

I will help guide you on what to wear for your session, direct with posing, and encouraging you every step of the way with both candid and posed images.
