Meet your photographer

Hi, I'm Shalista.

It's pronounced sha-LIST-a.

I've photographed people for more than twenty years, from Broadway performers and U.S. Senators to thousands of people who arrived feeling a little nervous about being photographed.

If that sounds like you, you're in good hands. You don't need to know how to pose. I'll guide you through every step, show you the back of the camera as we go, and we'll keep going until you see a photo and think, "That's me."

More about me

From inquiry to gallery

I'll guide you through it

  1. 01

    Tell me your plans

    Share what you do, where the photos will be used and when you need them. I'll help you choose a session.

  2. 02

    Get ready together

    We confirm location, priorities and outfits. Your total and delivery timing are agreed before you book.

  3. 03

    Show up as yourself

    I guide posing and expression. Your finished images arrive in a private gallery, ready to download.

Before you book

A few helpful details

What if I'm uncomfortable in front of the camera?

You don't need to know how to pose. I'll guide you through small changes in posture, expression and movement so you're never left wondering what to do.

How much do headshots cost?

Professional headshots start at $295 for a 15-minute session with two retouched images. Personal branding sessions start at $695. Your full total is confirmed before you book.

Are hair and makeup included?

They're optional add-ons, quoted separately. Tell me in your inquiry and I'll include the cost up front.

Where will we photograph?

I'm based in Chandler and photograph across the valley: your office, an outdoor spot, or a rented studio. Any location or travel fee is shown in your total before you book.

Do you photograph teams and offices?

Yes. I bring a full studio setup to you for team headshot days. Send your team size, location and timing for a custom quote.
