I'm a hopeless romantic who loves love. I strive to document you as you are - unscripted and raw. I allow the happy couples to be happy, the awkward couples to be awkward, and the quiet couples to be quiet. I'm inspired by wide open landscapes, golden natural light, Europe, spontaneous adventures and the 70's.

Hiii! Welcome to my little corner of the internet - I’m so happy you’re here! You probably want to know a little bit about who you’re hiring - I’m Shaina, based in Halifax Nova Scotia, serving the maritimes + beyond. I was born in St. John's Newfoundland, and moved to Nova Scotia when I was 5 years old. When I’m not behind the camera or at my computer editing, you can find me cuddling with my kitties, eating pizza, thrifting for vintage & home decor and travelling - I'm always on the go and am someone who always needs a trip to look forward to, otherwise I go stir crazy :)

Meet Shaina

pronounced "Shay-Nuh"

I've had a camera in my hands for 20 years now! I got my first DSLR at 11 years old as a Christmas present (after begging and begging my parents) & instantly became infatuated with photography + photoshop. I was your typical computer nerd growing up (as of age 4), so the transition made perfect sense. “The photographer" became almost my identity; what I was known for at school, at parties, within my community, etc. By 14 I had photos published in international magazines and began winning competitions - it was then that I came to realize I could see myself really pursuing photography as a career!
