“Absolutely fantastic! From the minute I walked in the door she made me feel comfortable and so excited to be there. Her hair and makeup woman was great and made me look and feel so beautiful. My session was so much fun and flew by. At the reveal I was so amazed at the way she posed and lit me to look my best. Loved the photos and the whole experience! I couldn't recommend Shalista more to anyone considering a session.”
