Natural light photographer
Hey, I'm Shayla!
Collect more memories & less things.
I grew up here in Colorado Springs, CO, you'll usually find me with my family, running around taking my kids to their activities, playdates, & school functions. I enjoy reading a good book, sewing, crafting & spending time with my friends.
SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS:
- Artsy things (Such as Photography, Sewing, making earrings, styling hair for bridal parties - I'm also a licensed cosmetologist!)
- Starbucks & Dutch Bros - but for all the non coffee items!
- Plants. I love greenery, It just brings the room to life!
- Hiking (like easy ones, I'm incapable of 14ers at the moment LOL)
- Netflix & chill
- Honey Dew Boba Tea!! Or Sweet Wine!
- Dates with good food & company
From our trip to Cripple Creek to see the Fall leaves. <3
I got started in photography with my own little point & shoot heading to Peru to visit family. Photographing almost everything I thought at the time was so mind boggling to my young mind. Just wanting to get the different angles as well as getting those selfies in with my siblings.
After our trip I asked for my first DSLR for Christmas that year from my parents & the rest was history! I Self taught myself to shoot in manual settings (aperture, ISO, shutter speed) and opened up my own business so I can photograph for other families. In addition to photography I had graduated as a Cosmetologist from beauty school at the Salon Professional academy. So you may see me at weddings doing hair during the wedding season as well!
