Sherida!!!! Oh my gosh, I have tears in my eyes. You have captured something so special. Some kind of essence of my family. I am in awe of your work! I seriously didn't think that meltdown session could turn into something so beautiful.

We’ve been so fortunate to have our family photos taken by Sherida every year. She is the magician of golden light and the outcomes always amaze us with their beauty beyond our imagination. Her photography captures more than the moments- the air, the breathing, the warmth of cuddle, our feeling and love. Even when we thought that our little kids didn’t corporate for shooting, she came up with the incredible photos somehow! We can’t recommend her enough.

I have had the pleasure of working with Sherida for almost 2 years now and every experience has been amazing. Sherida is very friendly , professional, insightful, exceedingly patient and great with the littles. Her approach to photography is very empowering and you feel like the most beautiful version on yourself after a shoot with her. I high recommend a session with her

I had an (unplanned) unassisted home birth that was very intimate, and Sherida captured it so raw and perfectly. I was weary not having met her prior to my birth, but her presence felt like an old friend. She is so sweet and has an unbelievable eye for photography. You can tell just how passionate she is! Thank you for mixing in with my birth team so perfectly, and staying calm when I ended up delivering my daughter without my midwives. I would refer Sherida to everyone and anyone wanting to capture mama hood.

The easiest way to describe Sherida Rae Photography .. Simply the best! Our family has now done 4 shoots with Sherida, and I am blown away by the results every time.

She makes photos with my family of 5 seem effortless. A mama herself, she handles the crazy kids, poses the awkward parents, and the final pictures are always so perfectly candid.

We also can’t forget about her gorgeous collection of dress options, always making me feel extra beautiful. Sherida Rae Photography will be a lifelong ‘member’ of our family.
