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 nearly 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.

"Shaina is extremely talented and professional, she has a vast ranging skillset from working with professional models, to never-stepped-in-front-of-a-camera-shy partners. She has a natural eye for composition and does not over-process her final products, giving a fantastic final result that perfectly captures the moment and memory~"

"Shaina is an absolute sweetheart!! Even a week after the photos our 3 year old still talks about her all the time. She was so sweet with our babies, it makes a big difference in the photos and it shows! She really encapsulated their personalities in your photos. They are all so beautiful! Thank you again, Shaina!"

"There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Shaina truly is. I did my first shoot with her in 2016 and have lost count of how many shoots we’ve done together since. She has been there for every big moment in our lives and will continue to be for years to come. We live in Canada and have traveled to Florida just for Shaina to photograph us. I will never stop recommending SMO Photography to everyone I know!"

"Shaina is an absolute joy to have as a photographer. From the moment I inquired about a photo session, she was responsive and had great suggestions on how to incorporate 9 people and a dog into beautiful family photos. During the session, she kept the energy up and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident! The photos are absolutely stunning and I can’t wait for another opportunity to book with SMO Photography again!"

"If you were thinking of having Shaina be part of your special day, DO IT! She was there to capture our engagement photos and our wedding day at Walt Disney World.
Her and her fiancé Gio are some of the sweetest people you will meet. She answered emails faster than some of my best friends text back. We had a few hiccups on wedding day and she rolled with the punches and was right there with us. She was on time for both photo sessions and couldn’t ask for better communication from her."

I am a customer for life! Book the shoot, you won't regret it!"

"Shaina took our newborn photos in our home and they turned out beautiful!!! I literally cried when I saw them. She was amazing at getting my 2-year-old to stay engaged for photos, which is NO EASY task! She also took great candid family photos that look so natural and just like a little glimpse into our lives. She took her time and was patient while I had to stop and nurse the baby a few times. I love her photo style and how the photos look light and glowy. I will forever cherish these photos."

"I booked with SMO photography during the Christmas season as I wanted to capture my son's Christmas pictures and I could not have been more happy! Shaina was so patient and my son was NOT interested in participating but she worked her ✨MAGIC✨and made what felt like a hectic session with a 1 year old into absolutely beautiful portraits that I cherish! I wouldn't hesitate to book another session with SMO Photography and I would encourage you to do the same!"
