The Glitches in Time Experience

Past & Present, Together

A "glitch in time" is that feeling when you look at your child and see your own childhood staring back. I make that visible.

Generational Sessions

I photograph multiple generations together — grandparents, parents, children — creating portraits that tell a whole family's story in a single frame.

Photo Blending

Bring me your old family photos. I'll artistically blend them with your new portraits — creating one image that bridges decades and generations.

Yours to Keep Forever

Every Image. On a Drive.

Plug it in ten years from now. They'll still be there.

What Families Say

Shylia has such a gift for capturing real moments. The photos from our session are the most beautiful pictures we've ever had as a family.

I brought my grandmother's old photos and Shylia blended them with our new portraits. My mom cried when she saw it.

They handed us a hard drive at the end with every single photo. No link, no subscription, just the files. Ten years from now we'll still have them.

About Shylia

10 years. 4 kids. One camera.

I'm Shylia Denning — a mom of four based in Hamburg, New York. I've been photographing families for ten years, and I built the "Glitches in Time" concept because I kept noticing the same thing: clients would point at their kid and see their own childhood staring back. I wanted to make that visible.
