"I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Opal from Sweetbay Photography! She was an absolute gem and a half. Our guests kept mentioning how lovely and warm their interactions with her were throughout the day. Opal captured everything beautifully without being intrusive, and she had our entire gallery ready in record time! We’re over the moon with the images—every shot is stunning. Sweetbay Photography is a dream come true!" ~Jessy

Opal

Hi!

I am your lifelong storyteller 

Director of moments


Capturing kids with their adults, couples with their friends and families, and people who love fur babies for 20 years.

When you choose me, you're not just booking a photographer. (There are endless photographers out there.)

You're booking a fun and memorable experience. You're choosing someone who genuinely cares about you and your story.

Someone who knows when to blend in with the crowd and when to step in and direct the flow.

Someone who is always looking for those candid moments and capturing the memories that let you relive the day.
