meet shillawna
Known for: Fangirl-ing good food, owning a surplus of makeup, and always keeping it real.
My photography journey began when I was in high school. The more I got into photography,
the more I realized how much I loved documenting people’s stories.
I began Shillawna Ruffner Photography
in January 2009 in my home state of California. In 2016, my family and I relocated to Indiana, where I learned to love my new home and amazing clients.
From the summer of 2024 to the summer of 2025, we had the incredible opportunity to live abroad in
Cartagena, Colombia. Being a world traveler was a once in a lifetime experience!
After a decade away, I am finally back where I truly belong in California and settled in Yorda Linda.

hello there
Life is too short not to preserve
every precious detail.
THAT every moment
is worthy of
documenting.
I Believe
"Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment
until it becomes a memory."
- Dr. Suess
We love how our couples love each other, and how we can capture real, true moments.
NOTHING MAKES A PHOTO LIKE A REAL, AUTHENTIC LAUGH
We Believe
And let us capture them for you. You'll treasure the memories... and the photos... forever.
THAT YOU SHOULD LIVE IN THE MOMENTS YOU WANT TO REMEMBER
We Believe
