Sherry Smith Photography

This past February, I had my shoot with Sherry, that I had waited over 10 years to finally book. Over that decade, I had paused many times before contacting Sherry for one reason or another (I dont look how I want to look, I just had my kids, pandemic, etc.). Due to health issues and an upcoming surgery, I knew it was time. I wanted to commemorate this journey, and this version of myself. The lead up: Sherry was wonderful to work with. She provided clear communication, details, PDFs of best practices and tips, a questionnaire and a conversation dedicated to what my vision of the session was, any questions I had, and advice and guidance from her. The day of: I arrived to a beautiful space, had my hair and make-up done, and laid out my outfit options which Sherry help me to figure out what would look best. (the outfit I least expected to like, was my favourite on camera!as Sherry had recommended) The shoot: I was very nervous, but Sherry is a professional through and through. The shoot was all of the things you hope for on a surface level and so much more. It was fun, I felt glamorous, I trusted in Sherry 100% and she exceeded all of my expectations. She coached me and directed my poses in a thoughtful and sensitive way. My confidence kept building as the day went on- to a point where I felt like we made some really beautiful, raw, magic with the last series of photos. Sherry is a wonderful person, who takes deep pride in her work. There are so many reasons to wait, but I am so glad I finally did it. I wont be waiting another decade to take the damn photos.

I recently had my yearly headshots done for my business sites. I find this a total choreuntil this year. Sherry was able to capture my essence within a matter of minutes. I was so at ease and Sherry was able to capture some beautiful photos. I highly recommend Sherry!!

Sherry was recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed! From the first contact, to receiving my boudoir photo album, Sherry was professional and friendly. On the day of the photoshoot, I was very nervous. Sherry talked me through the entire process and I ended up loving the experience. Ironically, my album was delivered to me on my 49th birthday. I am ecstatic with it! The pictures are artistic, classy and beautiful. The whole experience helped me embrace myself exactly where I am right now. So, to all the 40+ year old women out there...treat yourself to this experience, you won't regret it.

Having professional head shots taken can be a stressful experience. But NOT with Sherry! Sherry creates a warm and inviting space that immediately sets you at ease. She pays attention to detail, provides advice regarding colours and type of clothing, and catches those stray hairs that have fallen out of place. If you are looking for professional head shots I would highly recommend Sherry Smith Photography.

I would not recommend Sherry to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. My friend specifically requested candid photos taken throughout the day and received almost exclusively posed photos. Sherry focused extensively on the list of posed photos made simply to ensure that no family members were missed. Posed photos that were taken had debris in the background that was not edited out. These issues were brought to Sherrys attention while taking photos and she said they were not in the shot. When sherry was asked to take certain pictures by members of the bridal party she refused and said they werent on her list. The grooms collar is tucked under his suit in several posed pictures and Sherry did not notice, when a bridesmaid interrupted to fix the issue Sherry was annoyed. The bride reached out to have some pictures touched up more in editing as they had obvious but fixable issues and Sherry refused, blamed the bride for not sharing her vision while deliberately ignoring requests made by the bride both prior to the wedding day and on the day itself. The pictures received look nothing like Sherrys advertised photographs. After reading the response from Sherry Ill add this: she did not offer to edit the pictures as requested she offered to crop them. Removing something from the background of a photo is possible with digital editing. The wedding venue is very popular in the area and tons of other photographers have no issue producing incredible results there.
