Portsmouth, NH Photographer Specializing in Newborn, Maternity & Family Photography

Welcome to Eye Sugar Photography, a boutique photography studio based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, specializing in newborn, maternity, baby, and family photography.

I work with growing families throughout the Seacoast of New Hampshire, including Portsmouth, Dover, Exeter, Rye, and surrounding coastal communities. My photography style is soft, timeless, and focused on connection — creating images that feel natural, emotional, and lasting.


Welcome. I'm Shalla (pronounced Shay-la)


Life is full of moments that take your breath away, moments you cherish and wish you could freeze to relive at a later point in time. Photography is a tool to freeze this moment in time and it is a placeholder in your memory of this very moment. I spent countless hours looking through the albums from my childhood and looking at photographs of my parents and grandparents throughout their life. The stories my grandparents would tell me would make them laugh and cry; the photograph was a cemented memory for them that provided a story to tell. 


I would be thrilled to work with you to capture this time in your life. My joy comes from capturing your moment creatively, beautifully, and artistically. I want to create amazing images that you will cherish for your lifetime. My style is relaxed and fun, with a sprinkle of candid, some posed (but made awesome, even for the “tough to crack!”). I look for color, texture, layers, and light to create a session for you that is easy, full of life, and memory all on its own.
