I’m Shay, a freelance photographer and designer rooted in Orange County. For me, photography has always been more than images — it’s about connection, curiosity, and holding onto the little things that make life beautiful.

Over the years, it’s led me to incredible people, new places, and endless inspiration. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me outdoors — swimming, hiking, or catching a wave — usually with my camera close by, always chasing the kind of moments that feel real and alive.
