About Me


Thank you so much for stopping by. My name is Shaina, and I am the photographer behind the camera here at SMO Photography. 


I have been doing photography for over ten years now. It is difficult for me to put into words just how incredibly honored I am to live out my passion every day as a career.

For me, photography isn't just about capturing this moment in time. It's more so about the sentimentality that life goes fast, and the fact that we are even able to turn this moment into a tangible memory is amazing. 

 I strive to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I want you to feel like your best self. I try to match your energy, and encourage you along the way. I utilize a blend of posing mixed with prompts and directives in order to allow for your natural chemistry to show itself. 


At the end of the day, these photos are for you. With your thoughts and desires, and a sprinkle of experience and pixie dust, I am confident we can make your photo session dreams come true. 

Whether you are looking for someone to capture your wedding day, or some fun themed photos, or some tender moments with your family, I would love to help you achieve your vision.
