Hi, I’m Shayla—the artist behind the lens.

I'm based in Falcon/Peyton, Colorado.

Hi! I'm Shayla—a Colorado Springs native, mom, photographer, and licensed cosmetologist. When I don't have a camera in my hand you can usually find me running my kids to their activities or hanging out with friends.


A few of my absolute favorite things:

  • The Arts: Photography, painting, sewing, and styling bridal parties.
  • The Great Outdoors: Colorado Nature hikes and filling my home with thriving plants.
  • The Drinks: Dutch Bros or Starbucks (non-coffee), Honeydew Boba, and sweet wine.
  • The Vibes: Cozy Netflix nights and dates with good food and great company.


I’ve always seen the world a little differently, but it wasn't until a family trip to Peru that I found my medium. With a basic point-and-shoot camera in hand, I became obsessed with perspective, lighting, and chasing unique angles. After returning home, I got my hands on a DSLR, completely taught myself how to shoot in manual, and turned a childhood spark into a full-time photography business. Today, I bring that same curiosity and creative eye to every intimate wedding, elopement, and family milestone I shoot.

Meet the Velazquez family

They are my backbone, & my constant source of happiness.

The people around us really do shape who we become, and I'm so lucky to have three wonderful people in my life who've each helped me grow in their own special ways. I'm truly grateful for everything they've brought to my journey.
