Thanks for being here, it's nice to meet you

I'm Shaela!

I'm a documentary photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I've been taking pictures since 2011 and it's one of my favorite mediums. I believe it's part of my life's purpose to help people capture their most important moments + relationships on camera.

In my free time, you can find me knitting, journaling, meandering through my neighborhood, or trying out a local coffee shop.

Check out my work

I'm here to capture photos you'll cherish for the rest of your life.


You know that feeling when you're on vacation and you ask someone to take a photo of you on your iPhone in front of an epic viewpoint? And you get your phone back and the pictures are horrible? I want to create the exact opposite of that situation.

in my element :')

I am the happiest when I'm behind the camera ❤️
