Our Story
Every Photo Has a Story
At BGW Photography, we believe the most meaningful images are the ones that make you feel something. Whether it’s a family’s laughter during a portrait session, the excitement of a special event, or the beauty of a property ready to be showcased, our goal is to create photographs that are timeless, authentic, and memorable. Photography is more than taking pictures—it’s preserving moments, highlighting details, and telling stories that deserve to be remembered.
Meet Ree
A Passion for Storytelling Through Photography
Hi, I’m Shareefah, the owner and photographer behind BGW Photography. Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Long before I ever considered becoming a professional photographer, I found myself capturing photos of my family, everyday moments, and the beauty that surrounded me. What started as a simple love for preserving memories grew into a deeper appreciation for the unique beauty that exists in every person and every story. I believe photography is about more than taking pictures—it’s about seeing people, celebrating who they are, and preserving moments that might otherwise pass by unnoticed. Whether I’m photographing a family gathering, portrait session, graduation, or special event, my goal is to create images that reflect genuine emotion, connection, and joy. One of my greatest joys is helping people see themselves the way others see them—beautiful, valued, and worthy of being remembered. My love for people shines through every session, and I hope that when clients look at their photographs, they not only see beautiful images but also feel the care, passion, and dedication that went into creating them. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your story. I look forward to capturing memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime. BGW Photography
