Stepping back from a business I’ve nurtured for nearly a decade isn’t easy. And as a newborn photographer, entrusting someone with my passion, clients, and everything I’ve built is a significant decision. However, life has its plans, and I’m eagerly looking forward to cherishing some baby snuggles during my maternity leave.

With over six years of experience as a newborn photographer, Shirley immediately stood out as the perfect choice to step in during my absence.

I have known Shirley for three years and had the privilege of coaching her in 2023. I immediately saw the seamless alignment in our posing style and use of light. It goes deeper, though. Reflecting on Shirley’s background in photography and healthcare (as a former physical therapist); I discovered we share the same values, core beliefs, and approach to our sessions. Seeing her in action and training her in the BEP touch has solidified my confidence that our clients are in capable hands.

With nine years of experience as a newborn photographer, precisely 606 newborns, and a background as a NICU nurse totaling over 12,000 hours, I intimately understand what it takes to photograph delicate babies. I have complete faith that Shirley will step into my shoes seamlessly while I’m on leave with my fourth and final baby.

Consequently, I’ve even entrusted Shirley with my own little one on the way. There’s not a shadow of doubt in my mind that she will not only maintain but elevate the photography standards we hold dear at BEP.

Shirley is already halfway booked, a testament to the trust our clients have placed in her. Returning clients, who entrust me with their most cherished memories, have seamlessly extended their trust to Shirley. Rest assured, you are in the most capable hands. Watch Shirley in action here.
