Hi, I’m Shai, the creative eye behind PhotobyShai. Photography is more than just a profession for me—it’s a passion that allows me to capture life’s most beautiful and fleeting moments. Whether it’s the warmth of a family portrait, the joy of a newborn, the excitement of a maternity session, or the confidence of a professional headshot, I strive to create images that tell a story and preserve memories for a lifetime.

Based in Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia, I have years of experience specializing in portraits, headshots, maternity, and newborn photography.  I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, families, and professionals to document their most cherished milestones.

My sessions are laid-back and stress-free, allowing you to relax and be yourself while I capture the magic. I guide my clients with gentle direction when needed, but I always leave room for natural expressions and movement, ensuring every image reflects who you truly are.

I would love the opportunity to work with you and create lasting memories. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to capture the beauty of everyday life, I’m here to make sure your story is told beautifully.
