 Mississippi Marriage & Motherhood Photographer

start here

Capture the love you never want to forget

With images that will take your breath away.

 LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

I wish I could give you a big hug and a proper Southern welcome, complete with lunch and a cold glass of sweet tea on the front porch. 

We’d watch the dogs play in the yard (yes—your fur babies are always welcome here!), while we chatted all about you and the people in your love story. 

For me, being your photographer is about exactly this: 

Coming alongside you as a genuine, tried-and-true friend who will make sure you and your loved ones have the time of your lives while we document your most precious moments together. 

I’m Shea. It’s so good to meet you!

HEY THERE, FRIEND!

Document the fleeting moments that are most meaningful to you.

So you can cherish these memories and look back on the love you shared for years to come. 

Like the way your husband looks at your baby girl when he thinks no one else is watching. Or how your grandparents lock hands and hold back happy tears as they listen to you say your wedding vows. 

I’ll make sure we capture them all. 

Marriage Photography

For the classic Southern bride who treasures every detail, takes her flowers seriously, and knows no matter what happens on her wedding day, she is marrying the love of her life in total joy. (Come rain or shine!)

Right this way

Motherhood Photography

For the mama who wants a fun and stress-free photoshoot with her family, newborn, or little one to-be. You’ll get natural photos that show the invisible ties that bond your family together and the love y'all share every single day.
