Behind the lens

I'm a passionate Southern California-based mama who loves capturing timeless, authentic moments through my camera lens. Photography has been a part of my life since childhood, when I would eagerly hand my mom disposable cameras to develop and then proudly display the photos on my walls. Now, as a mom myself, I continue this tradition by adorning my walls with pictures of my three children.

I've been happily married for six years and have a soft spot for hearing unique love stories. I can't wait to hear your story and capture it in a way that truly reflects your individuality.

When it comes to my sessions, whether it's a wedding or an engagement, I strive to create a fun and lighthearted atmosphere while also leaving space for those genuine, heartfelt moments. As your go-to photographer, I promise to take care of you from the moment you book with me.

How the business

I picked up my first camera at a very young age. My parents were always developing film for me at Target, until they finally bought me my first point and shoot. My pink camera was attached to my hip, documenting moments that my friends and I still talk about. In high school I joined yearbook where I finally got to use my first DSLR. I was hooked. My teachers would start paying me for family shoots, and parents started hiring me for their kids senior photos. I shot my first wedding for $300 when I was 18. Although I loved my business, God had a different plan for me & I worked as a flight attendant for 8 years. It wasn't untilI had my second son that I felt the urge to start my business back up, this time with a new name and some better equipment. My husband had just gotten out of the military and it felt like the perfect time to take a chance on my passion. What I thought would be a part time thing for me blossomed, and has become my full-time business. Although I loved being a flight attendant, I recently quit because my passion truly lives with capturing love stories.

Facts about Me

I'm a mom of three of the cutest kiddos, Everett (5), Forrest (3), and Isla (1). I've wanted to be a mom my whole life, and I am genuinely obsessed with all three of them. There's a lot of titles ive had in my life, but mom is my favorite one by far.

I met my husband at Moonshine Flats in 2017, we got married just nine months later (he bought the ring after just four months of us dating). I truly feel like I married my best friend.

I'm a people person! If you've worked with me before then you know I'll know your life story by the end of the shoot. I love getting to know your family and friends on your wedding day. I think getting to know them has helped me authentically tell stories the last few years.

I love to travel! I was in Paris when I found out I was pregnant with. my first son, knowing that my life would soon change. Although that season for me is put on hold, I know once my kids are older there are quite a few places calling my name! I lived in Australia for a year, and thats what sparked my passion.

Love Notes

Where do I even begin to express our gratitude for the incredible experience we've had with Schaelynne. This isn't our first session with her, and let me tell you, it certainly won't be our last! From the moment we stepped in front of her lens, she was so warm, patience, and genuinely kind. Schaelynne has this incredible way of making you feel like the most beautiful, confident version of yourself. With her reassuring demeanor and amazing guidance, any pre-shoot nerves melted away in an instant.
