Hi! My name is shanice (aka Xai)


Based in San Francisco, California and frequently traveling back to my beautiful home country

San Juan, Puerto Rico.


For 6 years I’ve captured the essence of people and love, and it’s never felt like work. Each person I photograph enriches my life and I aim to do the same for them, prioritizing the experience above all else.



I strive to go beyond just taking good photos. My goal is to create a space where you can be your true self, crafting authentic, beautiful memories that reflect this special milestone in your life.

Two people sharing an intimate embrace on a cloudy coastline.

"I had an amazing time with my girlfriend during this shoot!! Leading up to the session I felt excited and prepared with what was to come. There was clear communication and we had a good understanding of where to meet, when, and we had outfits chosen to work with the environment. At the start of the session I was super nervous but Shanice did a wonderful job of making me feel more comfortable and the shoot itself really made me feel really connected to my partner. "

Couple sharing a romantic moment under a willow tree during their wedding photoshoot.
"Shanice (Beloved Captures), was my photographer for my wedding on October 16, 2021. I recommend her 10000%!! Not only was she so cooperative with me and my busy schedule, she captured absolutely everything I specified as well as much much more! I had decided to plan our wedding within 8 months and she was so amazing on such a short time schedule! Her packages are comparable to all other photographers I looked at on her level and she is just the sweetest, also helped - CONT"
