Authentic & True

Shades of Light Photography is Authentic and True to you!

We do things a bit differently. Our clients consistently express to us that they really enjoyed the experience that Shades of Light brought to them. Our goal is to capture moments. We view our photography sessions as a series of moments, rather than set/staged shots on a shot list. Our secret sauce works every time, and while we're not into divulging our secrets...we absolutely encourage you to experience it for your yourself.

Take a look at some of our work and imagine the memories we can capture together.

Step into the Light!

It is NOT easy for everyone to stand in front of the camera. Most of us have things that we are self-conscious about. When you book a session with Shades of Light, we make it a point to shine a light on all of the things that you love. We are experienced in putting our clients at ease, so much so that you just might walk away feeling like the super model that you are.

We are committed to creating a service experience that makes you understand how important you are to us. From delivery of photographs in a timely manner, to a beautiful studio or on location shoots, to our technical know-how - we have created a full service experience that has gained the confidence of loyal and returning customers.

It's a Family Affair!

There is nothing more joyful than really good family energy. We particularly love shooting with families because we become kind of an extension of each of the families we work with, and when we have a session with them - it feels like a reunion. We watch alongside you as years pass, children grow and milestones ensue. The Shades of Light family is always honored when you invite us to be a part of yours.

We Capture Moments.

We absolutely love capturing the moments associated with weddings, graduations, proms, and all of the many milestones that you and your family experience. Yes, we love a good shot list, but we also have a knack for seeing and capturing the nuanced quiet moments that make each of these events special.

We're Excited to Serve You!

The happiness that holidays bring are always a catalyst for moments of reflection and sheer joy. Whether is it Mother's/Father's Day, Halloween the December holidays or Easter, we specialize in bundling that joy and delivering it to you in the images we shoot, or even better in your very own photo/coffee table book!
