About

Hello. My love of photography came from a very young age. Watching my father who was a police officer take amazing pictures with his Minolta film camera. His work blew me away. My first job out of high school was Sears Photo Studio in 1990. After 5 years there I went to work at JcPenney Portrait studio. I then decided to go to school for two years to master my lighting and learn the camera in manual mode. What a great class it was. I have trained and worked with several professionals. After awhile, I was ready to go out on my own. I have 16 years experience shooting weddings, events, family photos, portraits, musicians, sports, real estate, etc. I shoot to capture the moment rather than posed. I do pose the families due to a large amount of people. Have to make the families look nice. I love what I do. When I can pass my love onto others in my work and make people happy, that makes me happy. Amen. I give all the thanks to our Lord, Jesus Christ! Peace.

Located in Sneads Ferry, Topsail Island, Surf City area.

Sincerely,

Sheryl Olson www.facebook.com/photographybySherylOlson

My daughter needed pictures for her senior yearbook. We called several photographers in our area to see who would be able to provide us with the pictures we were looking for. We wanted a variety of pictures, on a lake, in our area. Several photographers quoted us astronomical prices ($300 - $400) which included an hour shoot, processing, and 2 photos with the option to purchase more. Others quoted us prices of ($350 - $500) to come to their studio and have the pictures taken there. It included the sitting fee and one picture with the option to purchase more. All of them were taking advantage of these kids who wanted a special picture for their senior yearbook. I found Sheryl's ad on our Community website. I called her and explained to her what we wanted and how we wanted it. Sheryl's response, "No problem. Anything I can do to make this day great for your daughter is my priority". She told me the fee would be $100 for one hour at the location we choose and at the end all pictures taken would be downloaded to a cd and would be ours. I couldn't believe my ears!! Actually somebody who wasn't all about the money and the greed!! I booked it immediately!! A couple days prior to our shoot the weather called for rain. I asked Sheryl if it was ok to change the date and time. Sheryl being Sheryl said, "Not a problem. I will arrange my work schedule to fit your needs". The day of the shoot Sheryl took 99 pictures, everyone perfect!! We got to keep all of them. My daughter changed her outfit 3 times and all of this done in "1 Hour".
Unfortunately, Sheryl moved out of our area a few weeks later. I know I will never find a photographer half as good as her. I have birthdays, weddings and family events coming up in the future. I'm back to square one. Where do I find the perfect photographer?? I envy the people who live where Sheryl moved too. I hope they realize the special, caring and talented person she is. They have the one in a million photographer. God bless her!!

This event was a belly dance recital. We have had trouble in past finding a photographer who is able to capture the right moments with clarity. The expertise in Sheryl's timing and photos is obvious. The photos turned out amazing. She not only has great skill technically, she has an eye for true beauty and an intuition for finding and capturing the moments that you wish to hold on to. That's not an easy combination to find. She is worth every penny and then some!
