Shayann Shikles

Hello!

I'm the lady behind the camera, and it's one of my favorite places to be! I began my photography journey in 2020, with my first shoot being a wedding. Since then, I have offered a variety of photography sessions for close family and friends. In 2025, I decided to expand my services and share my photography skills with a wider audience. My goal is to capture the emotions that tell your unique story and create images that last a lifetime. I reside in mid-Missouri, but I love to travel for photo sessions. My specialties include senior portraits, couples, families, branding, and professional headshots.

I married my wonderful husband, Nolan, in August 2021, and we welcomed our first daughter, Reeves, in June 2025. Our family enjoys spending time outdoors with our dogs, Willow and Thor, as well as snuggling on the couch with our two cats, Dean and Murph. When I'm not working or behind the camera, you can find me enjoying family time, playing volleyball, helping out at the family flower shop, or attending Bible study.

I look forward to connecting with each of you!

"Shay was incredible! She did an amazing job on Kevin and Morgan's family photos, and the images she captured of our grandson's first year were outstanding. I will absolutely use her services again and recommend her to others. A truly wonderful person and photographer!"
