Out of 400 frames, I'm looking for the one.

Couples, family & kids photography outdoors in natural light — Ashdod, Ashkelon, Yavne & around. No posing; just the frame where everyone's really laughing.

18A · the pick

No “say cheese”. Just you, for real.

A laugh that slipped out, tiny hands deep in frosting, one look right before the big moment. I'm there to catch what actually happens — and hand it back to you, for keeps.

19A · HaKshatot beach · 6:40pm

Couples

An hour of sunset, the two of you, and the sea. A surprise proposal, an engagement, or just because. We walk the beach or a field, you laugh — the photos happen on their own.

Great for: proposals · engagements · anniversaries · “just because”

One Year

One cake, two tiny hands, zero cooperation — and that's exactly the magic. A first-birthday session in your yard, a park or the beach, at your kid's pace, no pressure.

Great for: first birthdays · cake smash · family all around

First Grade

The backpack is twice their size, the smile is missing a tooth, and your heart is outside your body. A short morning shoot before the big day — a keepsake that outlives the backpack.

Great for: starting school · end of kindergarten · siblings

Family

Forget "everyone look at the camera". We hit the beach when the light turns soft, play tag, throw kids in the air — and the photos happen on their own. Generations welcome: grandparents warmly included.

Great for: the nuclear family · three generations · a small celebration outdoors

Nice to meet you, I'm Shay.

Photography isn't another job for me — it's how I stop time. No big productions, no studio: I shoot outdoors only, in natural light, with one camera and a lot of patience for kids (and parents).

You'll find me with my feet in the sand at HaKshatot beach, in the Nitzanim dunes, or in a field near your home — Ashdod and around.

We never felt like we were being photographed — and then we got a whole album of moments we thought only we had seen.

Questions I get asked

Where do we shoot?

Outdoors only, in natural light: beach, field, park or your own street. I come with location ideas matched to the light — and we'll pick together what fits you.

When do we get the photos?

A fully edited gallery within 10 business days. Need it fast? There's a 48-hour express track.

What should we wear?

Soft, consistent tones, no big logos. Once we set a date I send a short guide with examples — it's easier than you think.

What if it rains?

We move it, no headache. Your date stays reserved until we get good light — no compromises there.

Let's catch the moment.

Tell me what you're celebrating and when — I'll come back with a date, a location and all the details. No commitment.
