HEY, MY NAME IS SHERIDA

BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHER + FILMMAKER

The art of photography has always been a big part of who I am. As a teen, I would buy disposable cameras (Eesh! I just dated myself) and whip them out during fun times with family or friends. After I became a mom, I finally received my first digital camera, which only heightened an already intense passion for candid photography.

Emotive, authentic moments coupled with a moody aesthetic are what I pursue in my work. If you love what you see here, let's connect and create some magic for you to obsess over.

"AS ONE OF ONLY A FEW BLACK BIRTH PHOTOGRAPHERS MAINLY FOCUSING THEIR CREATIVITY ON BIRTH - MY ASSIGNMENT IS TO ​CELEBRATE DIVERSITY & INCLUSION NOT ONLY IN THE BIRTH SPACE THROUGH MY ART BUT ALSO WITHIN THIS GENRE AS A BLACK WOMAN."

Seven Years Experience

While my affinity for photography goes far beyond seven years of professional experience, my attraction for all things birth-y, is what inspires me to create the photos and films families admire. I've had the privilege of working with some amazing families and I can't wait to include you in that mix!

Timeless Memories

Creating the memories that you and your children will cherish for many years to come. Let's not keep these images stuck on a thumb drive or in the cloud. Make your memories tangible by printing them as a physical part of your children's birth story.

The Beginning


Where It All Started

As I walked toward the elevator doors after photographing my first birth in 2017, I was fully persuaded that I had also given birth in that hospital room that day. 


My affinity for photography and birth collided, shifting my entire perspective about continuing my current career path. Many years and no regrets later, I can't imagine doing anything else.


When I enter your birth space, I come with the same passion and excitement I had while documenting my first birth; ready to create and visually connect you to the often blurry details of your story.


My Tiny Tribe

I'm a former teen mom with a small tribe of 3 widely spaced & uniquely gifted children who keep me young at heart.

I'm just like you! I wish my children would stay little & let me hold their hand in public forever. I hold tight to the moments I realize may change in a year.

I recognize firsthand how important this time in your life is & how quickly it passes. It's my pleasure to deliver the results I know you'll appreciate long after your baby has outgrown your lap.
