About Me – Sherry Dansby

Hi, I’m Sherry Dansby — a trans woman, ethical photographer, visual storyteller, and someone who has lived with epilepsy since childhood.

Photography has always been more than just a profession for me — it’s how I help people feel truly seen.

Whether you’re posing for a headshot, marking a family milestone, stepping into your power in a boudoir session, or lighting up a red carpet, my goal is the same: to help you feel confident, celebrated, and remembered.

I proudly serve clients throughout Orange and Los Angeles Counties from my home base in Westminster, California — where I was born and raised. I also spent six formative years in Washington, Illinois, and come from a family with deep Midwestern roots.

With over 15 years behind the lens and a lifetime of perspective in front of it, I bring lived experience, care, and creativity to every session. Living with epilepsy has shaped how I see the world. It’s taught me empathy, patience, and resilience — qualities I bring to every interaction. I understand what it feels like to navigate challenges while still wanting to show up, feel beautiful, and be valued.

As a transgender woman and small business owner, my work is deeply personal — and entirely community-driven. I don’t shoot in a studio. I bring the session to you — your home, your neighborhood, your backdrop. I believe in putting people before profit, creating space for authenticity, and honoring every story I’m invited to capture.

More than a photographer, I’m your collaborator, your advocate, and sometimes your biggest cheerleader behind the lens.
