@bburnskm You could solder female headers to the camera and then solder male headers to the shield. Then you can remove the shield at your convenience.
Depending on the shield you can also orient the headers front or back if the shield allows it for space.
That is how I attach the shield I designed. This way if it were to fail in prototyping or I need the camera for something else it is possible to disassemble.
