💞 Couples Photoshoot
Whether it’s your tenth date or your tenth year together, a couples photoshoot in Fort Lauderdale FL, is about honoring the spark that still feels new. Shay begins with a brief chat‑about how you met and what you love doing together, then chooses a setting that fits—sunset dunes, city murals, or the café where you shared your first coffee.

What you walk away with
- A thoughtfully edited gallery featuring a mix of posed and candid images
- A flexible, unhurried approach with plenty of time for genuine connection
- An online gallery for easy viewing and sharing with loved ones
Ideal For: sunset strolls • anniversary sparks • everyday romance
“Love that looks as real as it feels.”
🎓 Graduation Photoshoot

Cap tassels, diploma pride, and the first breath of what comes next—graduation is equal parts celebration and anticipation. Shay scouts iconic on-campus corners or off-beat favorites (think college quad, downtown bridge, or the art building steps) and times the shoot for flattering light after finals chaos. She encourages props that reflect your story: a violin, a soccer ball, and a laptop covered in stickers.
“Own your victory; let the world cheer with you.”
- Spotlight personality beyond the gown
- Deliver images fast for announcements
- Shoot on‑campus landmarks or favorite spots
Ideal For: cap‑toss triumphs
• first step into the future

👨👩👧👦 Family Portraits
From energetic toddlers to grandparents soaking up every second, family portrait sessions in Fort Lauderdale FL, are about patience, comfort, and real connection. Shay begins by learning each child’s favorite game or song, then turns the shoot into a mini adventure—leaf throwing, beach races, or couch cuddles. Between orchestrated group shots, she snaps the in-between giggles and side hugs that parents often miss in real-time. Each session feels more like playful family time than posing, allowing genuine expressions and spontaneous moments to unfold naturally.

“Photos that feel like Sunday‑afternoon hugs.”
Ideal For
- laughter-packed reunions
- new‑baby introductions
- four‑generation moments
💍 Engagement Photoshoot
An engagement session is the first visual chapter of your wedding story. So, Shay Photography begins by matching the location to your venue’s palette—golden‑hour shoreline, lush garden, or sleek city rooftop—so every frame echoes your planned theme.
“Let the ring glow and your story shimmer.”
Gentle prompts replace stiff posing, turning camera jitters into genuine laughter and relaxed chemistry. You’ll receive beautifully edited pictures, a style guide for outfit harmony, web-ready banners to save‑‑dates or social posts, and the confidence that the photographer who captured your joy understands it perfectly for the big day.

💘 Surprise Proposal Photography
Planning a proposal is nerve-wracking; photographing it shouldn’t be. Shay discreetly maps angles, light, and timing, then slips into the scene like another beachgoer or passerby.
“Catch the gasp before the ‘yes’ echoes.”
She captures the gasp, the tears, the embrace, and even the shaky laughter that follows. A quick mini-session afterward turns raw emotion into polished portraits before the adrenaline fades.
💒 Wedding Photography

Wedding days unfold in a blur of emotion, and Shay plans each step so nothing slips away. Two photographers work together on wedding photography to document simultaneous angles—from your partner’s reaction to your walk down the aisle to the laughter during toasts—while a detailed timeline keeps things synchronized with planners, florists, and DJs.
Moreover, Shay Photography captures your day as it naturally unfolds, focusing on real emotions, unscripted interactions, and all the details in between. From planning with your schedule in mind to moving seamlessly around your guests, every step is designed to be calm and unobtrusive. The final gallery becomes a timeless collection you’ll revisit with joy for generations.

“Relive every beat, from aisle steps to last dance.”
- Cover the whole celebration, start to finish
- Lean on 17 + years and 2,700 + weddings of know-how
- Edit galleries to match each couple’s unique style
