Kiley Shai Photography

I wanted to work with Kiley because of her energy - both as a person and the energy she captures in her photos. Because I’ve loved all the shots I’ve seen, I’d heard she was thorough AF, and YES it was everything I hoped! Kiley was even more committed to and clear on my vision than I was - or so it felt at times - which is such a comforting feeling. For anyone feeling nervous about the shoot, don’t! She makes it easy to feel comfortable and get candid. She dissolved any of my fears of being a diva and asking for what I wanted by being so committed to making my vision a reality! Kiley without a doubt was worth the investment, I have so much content now, and had so many outfits, & locations. She really went above and beyond! If you are considering working with her, don’t hesitate! Kiley makes the shoot EASY - even if you don’t feel super comfortable in front of the camera. She’s so much fun, and goes above and beyond to make sure she brings your vision to life. I will definitely be working with her again! The best part about the session was how fun it was! Kiley keeps the energy up - which is truly impressive, especially on a long shoot day! More...

I just hired Kiley for a corporate event and absolutely loved her. She did a great job capturing everything I wanted and more. Her personality is terrific and she's really easy to work with and direct, but we gave her a shot list and she was off capturing amazing photos of our event. Definitely going to work with her again!

We recently worked with Kiley for a commercial photoshoot and we couldn't be happier! From keeping the lines of communication open, to working with the models, ensuring that we were getting the shots we needed and presenting us with a phenomenal end product, Kiley exceeded all our expectations. She is extremely responsible and punctual, very well connected with local influencers and does an excellent job capturing personality and perfect moments in her photos. She is also amazing, super high energy and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She's the best, highly recommend! More...

Kiley was AMAZING from start to finish!! I got in touch with her through a mutual friend to help capture my proposal in San Diego. We spoke multiple times prior to the "main event" and she went above and beyond by meeting me beforehand to find the perfect spot and even setup a blanket with champagne, flowers and a picnic basket to make it picture perfect.

Our pictures came out absolutely incredible and Kiley was able to capture the perfect moment as well as a photo shoot afterwards that we will be using for our engagement photos. People still don't believe the photos aren't from a magazine :).

100% highly recommend. More...

It was a pleasure working with Kiley. We were photo shooting jewelry line. She arrives few mins before, we discussed how and what we would like to achieve in the photo shoot and went straight to work. We accomplished what we planned for the 2 hours. Pictures were ready 3 days later and I'm more then happy with the results.
Highly recommended!!! More...

I am beyond impressed with the photos Kiley took during our shoot together. She managed to capture my personality in so many of the photos - from me laughing at a joke to the moments when I wasn't posing. I'm no model by any means, so I really appreciated that Kiley was ready and able to give me direction throughout our time together! The photos Kiley provided are ones that I will proudly use for my small business for a long time. If you're thinking about hiring Kiley as your photographer, do not hesitate! She's incredibly talented and worth every penny. More...

Kiley is the BESTTTTT! I was first drawn to Kiley's work on Instagram. Her editing style is so light, bright, airy, with a dreamy quality to it that really resonated with me. I booked her for a 1 hour session last month so I could get new headshots and photos for my blog and social media!I was nervous going into the shoot, but Kiley made me feel so at ease and comfortable and suggested all kinds of poses for me to do. Her personality is very bubbly and fun and laid-back. I wasn't sure if we'd be able to squeeze 3 outfits into the hour, but she made it happen!My photos were delivered in an online gallery within a week of the shoot, and she over-delivered in terms of the number of pictures I got back. This was so nice of her and I really appreciated this! :)I'm so in love with my pictures and can't wait to work with her again on more photo shoots! More...

Kiley was referred to me by a good friend of mine. My family has never done a photo shoot before and although my two daughters were SUPER excited about it, my husband and I were still on the fence. Kiley is such an amazing people person. She's sweet and funny and helped everyone relax while encouraging my girls enjoy being super models for an hour. In addition to her people skills she is an awesome photographer!!!!  I have already referred her to multiple friends and will absolutely use Kiley every time we need pictures taken. More...

I had recently attended a Business Babes Collective event and met Kiley there.Little did I know that I would win a full shoot with her in the raffle. Kiley is extremely sweet and caring about her clients. Especially while shooting.While I mostly direct shoots instead of actually being in them, I was pretty sure I was in over my head with trying to play "model" for the day. But Kiley made the shoot so easy, effortless and fun! We roamed and explored different areas around Little Italy and found some amazing places to shoot. I'm more than ecstatic with the photos she delivered to me (literally at lightning speed). I used to work for a photography studio that couldn't even pump out as many photos that fast. All in all, Kiley is amazing. Book her! You won't be disappointed. More...

I hired Kiley to take photos of me and some of my friends - we all own clothing businesses and wanted some photos to use for our marketing. Not only did we have SO much fun that day, but the pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined! We were able to do 2 outfits and 4 locations. Kiley got such a great variety of shots and made sure we all had headshots that we would love too. I've been recommending her to anyone who asks ever since. We love them so much! She was quick to get us a few sneak peeks, then shortly after she sent us all the beautiful photos. She's fabulous! More...

Kiley took my boyfriend and I's anniversary pictures. From the moment I contacted Kiley she was kind, caring, and put her whole heart into making sure she was creating what we wanted. Kiley was incredibly quick with editing our photos as well. Our anniversary was a few days after the shoot, and we took the photos on Sunday at sunset and she had them to us on Monday at 12. TALK ABOUT AMAZING. Kiley's eye for photography is incredible. She is so effortless while photographing, and the photos she produces are so, so great. She captured our personalities and they truly represent who we are. She kept us laughing, made us comfortable, and was professional. Kiley is a joy to work with a I would recommend to any and all people looking to have amazing photos taken. More...
