Hi, I'm  Shay!
A wife, mama, iced coffee addict, Target shopper, brunch lover and wanderer.

I'm Shay, I am a portrait photographer based out of Hondo, Texas.  A rural town that's claim to fame is a sign that says, "This is God's Country, Please Don't Drive Through it like Hell!"

I graduated from Tarleton State University in 2011 and married my college sweetheart the following year.  We had lots of fun traveling and being newlyweds before we settled down and had our daughter, Koen, in 2016.  Our son, Ledger came along in 2021 and was the perfect final piece to our family.

These days, there isn't much free time, but we enjoy doing projects around the house, Koen's sports activities, going to the movies, and we can always seem to find time for a Target run for some essentials and a cold brew!

I would love to get to know more about you!

This was easily the best experience in a photoshoot. Shay made me feel very comfortable and I enjoyed every second. She is very talented and I am so amazed by how the photos turned out! I would definitely recommend Front Porch Photography for your next photos!!

I have used Front Porch Photography since 2017. I cannot imagine having ANYONE else photograph my children and family. Shay has the sweetest nature and is sooo good at getting the perfect shot. I’m terribly uncomfortable in front of a camera but Shay always makes it better!
