5 stars, a million times over! Sheila is simply amazing. What an incredible human and photographer! My husband and I booked Sheila to take our wedding photos. We got married a few days before and had a dream of capturing our love on Whiteface Mountain. Before I told her what our plans were, she already suggested Whiteface! It was a dream come true. From the initial conversation, booking and days leading up, Sheila was attentive and quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had. We were traveling to her area from a few hours away and wanted to make sure everything was in place. She arrived early the morning of our photos and dealt with the horrible swarm of bugs on top and the dooming heat. She then recommended that we stop at a waterfall for even more photos AND a third spot for another background. She went above and beyond; beyond the time she should’ve spent with us and we had the absolute best time. She is so easy to talk to and work with. I never knew taking photos could be so much fun! She assisted us with all of our poses and took the stress out of everything. She had our photos to us by the time we returned home from our trip just 3 days later! We are so in awe and in love with our photos. I would recommend Sheila to anybody! 💗

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our elopement at Mirror Lake Inn. Sheila came ready to go, made both myself and my husband feel comfortable with different poses (as 2 people who can be stiff and awkward haha), and was so polite and kind. She captured every moment and delivered our photos well before we were supposed to receive them! When we are back in the Lake Placid area, we will definitely work with Sheila again. Thank you Sheila for being apart of our special day and capturing everything so wonderfully!

Sheila was absolutely amazing! I hired her for my wedding in Lake Placid at the Gold Arrow Resort. Her photos were beautiful that she took for my engagement photos and wedding! She was super accommodating and cared about making sure they all looked perfect. She was very kind and patient when answering my questions. I definitely recommend her to take your photos in that area!
