About SheyiKreations Photography
Hi, I’m Sheyi (pronounced shay-ee), the photographer behind SheyiKreations Photography, now based in Columbia, Missouri.
I’ve been photographing people for more than ten years, specializing in senior portraits, family and weddings. My journey into photography didn’t start behind a camera – it started as someone who genuinely loved being in front of one. My background as a web developer also taught me structure, intention, and attention to detail, all of which shape how I approach photography today.
Photography That Feels Personal
I believe photography is about more than creating a beautiful image. It’s about preserving emotion, connection, and the moments that matter most.
What drew me specifically to senior and wedding photography was personal. I never had a great experience being photographed for those milestones myself and I never forgot what that felt like. Every senior and every couple I work with deserves better than that. My goal is to give you the experience I wish I’d had: one that feels relaxed, intentional, and genuinely yours.
When I work with you, my focus isn’t on perfect poses or forced smiles. It’s on helping you feel comfortable, seen, and at ease — so the images reflect who you truly are. Even if you’ve ever felt unphotogenic or awkward in front of the camera, my role is to guide you gently and bring out your natural confidence.
A Calm, Guided Experience
Every session is approached with care and intention. I take the time to understand you, your story, and what this moment means to you. The result is a photography experience that feels relaxed, meaningful, and genuinely enjoyable.
Sometimes that means trying something new. Sometimes it means slowing down. Either way, the goal is always the same: photographs that feel real and timeless.
Why I Do What I Do
I’m passionate about creating images that hold emotional value — photos that don’t just document a moment, but bring you back to how it felt. That joy and care I have for this work carries through every session and into the final images you receive.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me in the kitchen testing a new recipe or writing code for a website.
Let’s Create Something Meaningful
If you’re looking for a senior or wedding photographer rooted in connection, trust, and intention, I’d love to work with you.
