Photo Credit: Lily Marceau TelfordHi, I’m Shirley.
An award-winning portrait photographer specializing in headshots and personal branding imagery.
Born in Hong Kong. Raised in the UK and US. Based in Brooklyn, New York.
I have travelled the world and know what beautiful looks like and I can see it in you. I create magazine-style personal branding imagery for entrepreneurs who want to celebrate themselves and feel empowered.
A portrait session with me is more than just taking pictures, it’s an experience. I will take the stress of having photos taken and direct you in posing and expressions. Not only will you have incredible images that will remind you of how amazing you are; you, your loved ones, and your future generations will cherish these photographs for years to come.
Get in touch.
If you’re looking for images that will tell your compelling brand story and elevate your career, I’d love to hear from you.
