Testimonials

  • Having Shirley as our photographer on our wedding day exceeded every single expectation we had. Our entire wedding party felt comfortable with Shirley's method of photography. She was able to capture our unique and individual characteristics in our wedding photos in a manner that did not feel forced but rather completely fluid! Everything felt natural throughout the process and the emotion captured in our photos brings us right back to that moment in time! My husband and I would highly recommend Yay Shirley Photography for any special event that one would want to capture and enjoy forever. We are so incredibly pleased with her level of professionalism and creativity and plan on hiring her for so many milestones to come.

  • “We’ve been working with Shirley every year since our maternity photos with our youngest in 2020. We have always had an incredible experience where our family is beautifully captured. They get the most gorgeous candids with some of the obligatory staged photos sprinkled in. We always enjoy the process of working together, from the concept of our vision to the day of shooting. Shirley has always collaborated with us on our wants and needs while doing so much behind the scenes to make our ideas a reality. We are able to be ourselves while Shirley works their magic behind the lens because she has always made such a comforting environment. We have really enjoyed working with her while our family has expanded and grown up. We are looking forward to continuing the tradition. ”

  • “Shirley is so great to work with! My husband and I are not very comfortable being photographed, but she put us at ease. We had a wonderful session, and got a ton of gorgeous photographs! Not only did Shirley work wonders with a couple of awkward humans, they were able to perfectly capture our goofy dog as well.”

  • “Shirley photographed our all-day event on a Saturday and I couldn’t be happier with the results! We had an event where people could opt out of being photographed and she was so good and professional at making sure those people weren’t in the shot. Not only did she photograph the entire event, she also took professional headshots of the attendees at the end which were gorgeous. She had a great way of making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. I contacted Shirley in a panic the night before the event because I had forgotten to think about how attendees would get their headshots and she already had that taken care of. The extremely fast turn around time on the photos allowed us to send them right away to our attendees to use. I will definitely recommend Shirley to anyone who asks. Thanks Shirley!”
