New Hampshire Photographer Offers Complimentary Session to Law Enforcement Officers
Shayla Jepsen is a local lifestyle photographer on New Hampshire's Seacoast. She's been doing photography since 2016 and what started as her side hustle is now her bread and buttah! In 2021 she launched an amazing project called "The Human Behind the Badge" and is bringing it back this year.
Shayla was raised by one of New Hampshire's finest police officers. Her dad is now retired and is still one of Shayla's biggest heroes. She has felt the weight of this tough and often times thankless job, especially in the last few years. She is on a mission to let officers and their families know how appreciated they are. “The Human Behind the Badge” project is a series of 15 minute long mini sessions. The officer appears in uniform for one family portrait and in normal civilian clothes for another and they are shared side by side to show them as normal humans!
This program is all about showing that law enforcement officers are human beings just like the rest of us. You could walk past someone in a store and never know they are a police officer! But the minute they put on their uniform, some people look at them and treat them differently.
She is going to offer these sessions for two days this spring/summer, May 18 and June 1. Its first come first serve. If you or anyone you know would be interested, message her on Instagram or Facebook.
