ABOUT
Troy, Oh
Your Troy Family Photographer
Hi, I'm Shyla—a family and childhood photographer based in Troy, Ohio, and a mom who gets it. These years fly by faster than we ever imagined.
If the thought of family photos feels a little overwhelming, I understand. The outfit coordination, the kid wrangling, hoping everyone will cooperate for five minutes... I've been there. My sessions are designed to be easy, flexible, and kid-led, so you can actually relax and enjoy the moment instead of just trying to survive it.
I work with young families to capture the real, messy, beautiful moments of this chapter—the ones you'll want to remember exactly as they were.

ABOUT
Your kids don’t need to sit still or smile on command to get beautiful photos.
During our session, I’m in constant communication, gently guiding you and your kids every step of the way so you never have to wonder if you’re doing something right. I’ll offer clear direction, adjust as we go, and keep things moving in a way that feels natural and comfortable.
My approach blends guided posing with candid moments, giving your family structure without pressure. The result is a session that feels easy and images that look natural, connected, and true to your family.
If this sounds like the kind of experience you’ve been looking for, I’d love to hear from you.

Shyla was absolutely amazing! She was professional, took her time with edits, and was flexible with my 4 month olds schedule and adjusted our session time to meet his feeding schedule. We met with her to look at all our photos and choose what we wanted. We also ordered a BEAUTIFUL album with all our photos we picked. She also listened to all my ideas I had and captured the exact photos I wanted.
Would HIGHLY recommend her for your family/childhood photos!!
