Your Life Story, Beautifully, Ethically Told

Hi, I’m Sherry — and I believe everyone deserves to be seen.

At Dansby Photography, I believe that every family has a unique story to tell, and my passion lies in capturing those heartfelt moments that define your journey together.
Whether you're celebrating who you are, who you've become, or who you're still discovering, you're safe here.

Based in Westminster, California, I specialize in creating timeless portraits that celebrate the love and connection within families of all shapes and sizes. My approach is relaxed and intuitive—ensuring everyone feels comfortable, confident, and natural during the session.

Honest photography. Real connection. One-of-a-kind care—from my heart to your story.

CAPTURE THE MOMENT

More than a photo.
A moment remembered

I’m not just your photographer—I’m your collaborator, your advocate, and sometimes your cheerleader behind the lens.

Photography has been my creative outlet for as long as I can remember. It’s how I connect—with people, with stories, and with the world around me. Every image I take is guided by heart, intuition, and the desire to preserve something that matters.

I strive to capture not just how something looks, but how it feels—the fleeting expression, the raw emotion, the quiet elegance of a candid moment. Whether it’s a single headshot or a multi-generational portrait, a joyful celebration or a quiet afternoon in the park, I approach each session with patience, kindness, and deep respect for your story.

Since I only shoot on-location, I come to you—where you feel most like yourself. Your home, your favorite spot, the place where memories live. You don’t need to show up perfect. Just show up as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.

With every session, I aim to create something personal and lasting. This isn’t just about photography—it’s about honoring your journey, preserving your memories, and capturing the beauty that’s already there.

📸 Headshots

I specialize in capturing your best angle—whether you're an actor, professional, or just want to update how the world sees you. These sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed to help you shine as your most confident self.

🛠️ Photo Restoration

I restore cherished old photos by hand in my home studio—carefully healing tears, damage, and fading. Each restoration is a labor of love, returning your memories to life.
