About your photographer

HI, I'M SHAWNA!

I truly love what I do, and I want that to reflect in my work.
The goal is delivering artwork you are proud to display in your life because we created it together.

I specialize in capturing the love of couples,

taking your senior moments to remember forever,

snapping your family in their truest chaotic form,

helping you nail down branding for your business,

and of course, i'm with you when you say "I do!"

I am very laid back and "go with the flow" seriously whatever you want to do is fine by me!

Something about this job makes me so bubbly and energetic. I just get so excited in the moment seeing it all come together!

I have loved meeting some really fun people doing this job, and I cherish so many friendships that have come from this. I still exchange christmas cards with past couples and I look forward to it every year!

My work is a mix of candid documentary style and a little bit of stylized poses. My edits are warm and dreamy with a little edge. I prepare an entire shot lists, send questionnaires, scout out locations, offer outfit recommendations and make sure you feel prepared and excited.

For my brides, I'm all about creating timelines and preparation, making sure we're on the same page for your big day. I have a 25 page wedding guide that all my couples receive.

Everyone is Welcome Here

I believe that every person deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and comfortable in front of the camera.

My work is rooted in kindness, respect, and genuine connection. I proudly welcome individuals and couples of all races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, body types, and abilities. Whoever you are and whatever chapter you're in, you're welcome here!

Meet the fam

I spend my days loving my three cats - Freya, Cleona, Oliver and of course my husband Bobby while we enjoy good food and tending to our out of control garden.

I highly recommend working with Shawna! my fiance and I are not comfortable in front of the camera at all and we’re a bit nervous. She immediately made us feel at ease, was friendly and professional, and we had so much fun! Not only were all galleries sent in the time frame she promised, but they were STUNNING. I couldn’t believe I loved a photo of myself so much. She brought the vision to life in a way I didn’t think possible. Her eye for light is such a talent, and I could not be happier!
