Snaps by Shay

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER ✨

Hi, friends! I’m Shayleigh — the face behind Snaps by Shay! 📸🤍

I figured it was time to properly introduce myself!

I’m a stay-at-home fiancée, proud dog mom to our sweet toy poodle, Archie, and I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Between school, running my businesses, and planning our wedding, life stays pretty busy—but I truly love every bit of it!

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me editing galleries, spending time with my family, or creating custom pieces for my other small business, Signistry by Shay. There, I hand-paint banners, Bibles, denim, door-hangers, plates… honestly, if paint sticks to it, I’ll probably paint it! 🎨✨

The handsome guy in this photo is my fiancé, Austin!❤️ He’s a Service Advisor at Doggett Ford and proudly serves in the Army National Guard. He’s my biggest supporter and the one who encourages every crazy idea I come up with. I truly couldn’t do any of this without him!

Photography started as a hobby, but it has quickly become one of my greatest passions. I love capturing genuine smiles, authentic moments, and memories that you’ll be able to look back on for years to come. Whether it’s your family, engagement, seniors, maternity, or just because—you deserve photos that feel like you.

My goal is to make every session fun, relaxed, and stress-free so you leave with not only beautiful images, but great memories from the experience, too.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this dream of mine. Every booking, share, like, and recommendation means the world to me. I can’t wait to continue meeting new faces and capturing your special moments!

Now it’s your turn! 🤍

Tell me something about yourself in the comments—I can’t wait to get to know you! ✨

A camera can capture what words sometimes can’t. 🤍

Here’s a few favorites from this sweet couples session. So thankful I get to freeze moments like these.

“How many photos do I get?” ✨

Honestly? I couldn’t tell you. 😂

I don’t put a limit on photos, and I don’t stop editing once I hit a certain number. If it’s a good image and I love it, you’re getting it.

Some photographers charge extra for additional images, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. But personally, I’d rather focus on delivering the best gallery possible instead of counting photos.

When you book with me, you’re investing in the memories, the experience, and all the time that goes into capturing and editing your session.

So whether your gallery has 20 images or 80 images, my goal is the same: to give you a gallery you’ll absolutely love.🩷

The extra photos? That’s just my little way of saying thank you for supporting Snaps by Shay!📸✨

There’s just something special about sisterhood💐✨🤍
