RED DEER COUNTY Maternity Photographer

HI I’M SHERIDA!

a maternity photographer based in Sylvan Lake, AB. I made the move to Central Alberta in the summer of 2024 from Vancouver Island, and I quickly fell in love with the beauty of Alberta. As a mother of four, I have firsthand experience of the incredible journey of motherhood, and I cherish each moment I spend with my family. Together, we explore the outdoors, dance in our living room, and enjoy cozy movie nights.

My husband is my greatest support, and I couldn't imagine this journey without him. As I capture the essence of parenthood for my clients, I treat each session as if I were photographing my own family, capturing those fleeting moments that will become lifelong memories. I would be honored to work with you during this exciting time in your life.

Plus, it’s a fantastic way to document your family’s story as you prepare to welcome a new life. Don’t miss out on this chance to create lasting memories that you’ll treasure for years to come!

Motherhood Sessions

As mothers, we often find ourselves behind the lens, capturing fleeting moments of our little ones' lives. But it's just as vital to step into the frame ourselves. This simple act of joining our babies in those cherished snapshots creates a beautiful tapestry of memories that tell the story of your journey together. When you look back at these photos, you'll see not just your child's growth, but also the love, joy, and connection that flourished in each moment. Embracing your role in these memories strengthens that precious bond and reminds you both that you are partners in this incredible adventure. So, let those playful giggles and warm hugs be captured alongside you—because every memory is a reflection of your shared love.

Family Sessions

Family photos are more than just snapshots; they're cherished memories frozen in time. They capture the laughter, love, and connections that define your family story. In a world that moves so quickly, these images serve as a beautiful reminder of the bonds you share and the milestones you've celebrated together. Whether it's a pregnancy announcement, a cherished moment with your little ones, or a gathering of generations, family photos create a legacy that can be passed down through the years. They let you relive the joy and connection, sparking conversations and reconnecting hearts. Let’s celebrate those special moments together; your family's story deserves to be told!

Birth Story

Capturing your birth story is an invaluable investment in preserving one of life’s most transformative moments. Each contraction, each tear, and each joyful smile tell a unique tale that will be cherished for generations. Documenting this incredible journey not only allows you to relive the magic of those first precious moments with your little one, but it also creates a beautiful legacy for your family. From intimate candid shots to the raw emotions of labour, your birth story is a tapestry of love that deserves to be captured. Let’s ensure that every heartbeat and every brief pause is remembered—after all, these memories are the ones that will warm your heart and spark joy for years to come!

KIND WORDS

I cannot even begin to say enough about Sherida.
She is absolutely the best photographer I have ever come across.
Not only are her photos pure magic, they capture her clients in their most authentic, beautiful selves. She somehow manages to draw you out of your shell in front of the camera, perhaps it’s her infectious smile and kind heart, or maybe it’s her charismatic personality and ability to make anyone feel comfortable around her.
For me, doing sessions with Sherida is a form of self love and self care- us mums forget to get in the frame with our babies and I believe this is something that is beyond important.
Thank you Sherida for freezing so many tender moments in time, thank you for empowering me, and thank you for sharing your incredible gift with the world.

Sherida is by far the best at what she does. She’s an incredible photographer and I think the images she creates speak for themselves in the emotion they both capture and instill. What’s more though is she has such a passion and enthusiasm for what she does. She has felt like a friend from the start and her excitement for each session is infectious. I’ve booked three shoots with her in the span on 5 months because I cannot get enough. She has a client wardrobe that is magazine worthy and along with her positive energy makes you feel like an actual goddess. It’s such a rare and incredible experience to have beautiful images that so wonderfully capture a time and feeling in your life, and Sherida achieves this every single time. I wasn’t positive that I wanted maternity photos but booked with Sherida by recommendation and they are now my most loved and treasured photos. I hope to have her photograph my family for years to come. I cannot recommend her enough.
