Hi, I'm Shay
My goal isn't to take photos—It's to tell stories.
The kind you’ll want to share for years. The ones that capture the why behind what you do, the atmosphere of an event, or the essence of a person in their element.
I’m a photographer and creative based in Edmonton, originally from a small town here in Alberta where open space and quiet moments shaped how I see the world. I’m drawn to honest, natural storytelling, the kind that captures people as they really are and highlights the details that usually get overlooked.
My work is rooted in curiosity, connection, and a love for creating images that feel lived-in and real. Whether I’m shooting portraits, events, or documenting my travels, my goal is always the same: to make something meaningful that you’ll want to come back to.
My Style
If you’re looking for stiff, overly posed “say cheese” photos, I’m probably not your photographer. My approach is more fly on the wall, capturing those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments when people are being their truest selves. The sparkle in someone’s eye when they’re in their element. The quiet grin after an inside joke. The chaos and joy in the middle of a great event.
Clients often tell me, “I didn’t even see you there, how did you get that shot?” That’s the magic. The less you notice me, the more authentic your photos will be.
