Hi! I'm Shannon! I have always had a love for photography. It started with nature and travel photography but then after my first daughter was born, I discovered the fun that went along with photographing newborns and children!
In 2010, I took several photography classes and I was obsessed with shooting anything and everything! In March of 2013, I made the decision to start a photography business. I signed up for a hands-on newborn workshop to learn more about posing and safety, which is extremely important with newborns and took another newborn and also a maternity workshop in 2016 to keep up with my education! In 2016, I started teaching DSLR classes, offering mentoring and hosting "Shoot Outs" to help teach and learn from other photographers since I find that education in this field is endless!
I always wanted a career working with newborns, and while I may not be a mother/baby nurse as I once thought I wanted to be, I couldn't be happier combining my love of babies and kids with the love of photography!
Here's a little more about me!
So now that you know a bit about me, contact me so we can talk about you!

- I love working with kids and families, especially little ones since they make everyone a bit more relaxed and have more fun!
