About                                                  

Hello! My name is Sheila and I am a lifestyle, on-location photographer from Sunset, SC. I work primarily with natural light photography; however, I have backgrounds and lighting available for special occasions.

I have grown up loving photography! So it’s been a dream come true (and is still a journey of learning) to own and operate Beyond Beauty Photography! I love people – love to watch them interact, love to watch relationships, and more than anything love to be a part of strengthening, encouraging, and supporting others that come across my path. Now I have an awesome privilege of capturing some of those moments that become memories. Having lost a mother-in-law that I loved dearly earlier this year, and facing the loss of my father-in-law, I’ve learned not to take those moments lightly. As an avid photographer for the past 18 years, I’ve also learned that the most precious pictures are not necessarily those that have the perfect pose against a perfect background, but rather those that capture the essence of a person. Pictures that bring to remembrance a laugh, a smell, the softness of a loved one’s touch, so real that yesterday doesn’t seem so far away.

The cane placed on a window sill, the wrinkled hand that holds tightly to a child’s small hand – moments. The graduating Senior, four friends on the beach – moments. A baby finally sleeping sweetly – or the smile that melts your heart – moments. We all have them – so quickly they slip by. Recently we have been building our wedding portfolio. We have been BEYOND excited!!

I have the most amazing husband and 4 beautiful daughters who journey with me, love me through all the practice shoots, smile when they’re tired, and carry equipment all over the Upstate of South Carolina, GA, wherever this grand adventure takes us. All of us have one desire – to be a light for Christ, to be transformed into His image, and to be a life – through His Life – for others!
