Why we ranked them

Why we chose Shari Jo Photography

Shari Jo grew up in Stillwater, met her husband at OSU, and has spent years photographing newborns across the very town she was raised in — her blog's tag archive for Stillwater newborn sessions stretches back to 2016 and includes everything from a farmhouse session outside town to a summer sitting so hot she jokes it was still the perfect temperature for a baby. She's a pastor's wife and mother of three who later became a registered nurse, and that dual grounding in caregiving and clinical calm comes through in how she talks about sessions: minimal fuss about a messy house, a preference for neutral tones and natural light over heavy props, and a habit of working around feeding and diaper breaks rather than rushing a family through a rigid schedule. Her sessions blend lifestyle documentary moments — a sibling watching the baby in the crib, a nursery detail shot — with more traditional posed portraits, so a family walks away with both. Though she's since taken on more work around Tulsa, her roots and her most consistent client base remain tied to Stillwater and the surrounding small towns like Perry, and her long-running blog is full of real, dated sessions from Stillwater families rather than stock-photo marketing.
