work together
Hi, I’m Shannon. Mama first, photographer always.
Photography gives my creativity purpose — it’s my way of telling stories, capturing connection, and freezing the moments we’ll never get back.
With a degree in Art and Photography and a minor in Journalism, I’ve had the privilege of sharing stories for The Aegis and The Baltimore Sun, and continue to freelance for them while helping families, seniors, couples, and creatives tell their own stories through photography.

About
me
I truly love capturing the perfect shot but i also love working with so many amazing people and having the chance to capture your story. We all have a story to tell. Let me tell yours.
Part of my Client approach is helping you feel prepared and confident before we even step in front of the camera.
That includes outfit planning, where I help you select looks that reflect your personality, coordinate effortlessly, and feel authentic. Together, we’ll create a collection of outfits that highlight your family’s style and vibe — all without the stress.
From start to finish, I aim to create a meaningful, personal experience. Every session is guided when needed, but candid moments are just as important. My goal is to capture the real emotion and connection that tell your story honestly and beautifully.
My little ones are my world! Chase is 14 and Olivia is 8 going on 16 it feels like. They are my why for everything and inspire me each day. They have taught me more then I think I could ever teach them.
I am the oldest of five. My siblings are what sparked my love for photography. We are one of those families that do everything together and text each other daily. I'm an Aunt of four and love every moment with them.
I love traveling, but hate flying. I will travel anywhere for a session or fun. Traveling inspires me and leaves me feeling refreshed and creatively energized. I have been lucky enough to travel from coast to coast, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean.
I BELIEVE IN ROMANTICIZING THE LITTLE MOMENTS, THAT THE SCARIEST THINGS ARE USUALLY THE MOST WORTH IT AND THAT DANCING IT OUT CAN TURN A TOUGH DAY AROUND.

““Thank you so much for your patience and your calming presence during our session. I love every single photograph in our gallery. You captured our first few days with our sweet girl perfectly. ”
In photography and in life, always look for the light, if you don’t see it, bring it. — John Waire

I often get asked whether I prefer sunrise or sunset sessions.
If I’m being honest, sunset will always be my favorite — there’s just something magical about that golden hour glow and the sun flares as it dips lower.
That said, when I’m shooting in busy destination locations like Central Park or the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, or popular spots in Las Vegas or California, I usually prefer sunrise. The light is stunning, and the early hour helps us avoid crowds, making the session feel more relaxed and intimate. Both times of day are beautiful — but if I had to choose, sunset wins my heart every time.
GEt to know my style
Me in a nutshell: I always take on more than I probably should. Coffee first thing in the morning is a must. I make lists daily, play music constantly, and plan my schedule months in advance.
Some of my favorite days are the simple, quiet moments at home with my little ones. I believe in magic, miracles, and the little moments that make life feel extraordinary.
And this is how I approach photography…

What is your editing style?
I edit each session consistently, with tweaks to match the unique light, location, and outfits of the day. My goal is always to stay true to what the scene really looked like — the real colors, the real feel. While I love dark, moody, and brown tones, my focus is on creating images that feel classic, timeless, and authentic.
Do you use the same poses for every session?
No! I like to go with the flow and get a feel for each client. Every session is different, so I guide when needed and let moments unfold naturally. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and yourself in front of the camera.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking 3–6 months in advance, especially for weddings, high school seniors, and beach sessions.
This ensures we can secure your preferred date and location.
