Hi There! I’m Shannon

As a mom of two growing boys, I understand just how fast it goes. One day they’re tucked under your chin. The next they’re running ahead and your title somehow goes from, “Mommy,” “Mom,” and sometimes “Bruh”. But you still mean the world to them, and you need to be in the picture.

I embrace the chaos — because that’s where the real magic lives. When I photograph your family, I’m not chasing perfection. 

 I’m creating space for connection, guiding gently, and capturing the very best of who you are right now.

About Shannon

Bright. Joyful. Timeless.

Ready for a fun family session — and have photos to prove it?

Let's start capturing your story...

This isn’t just about a series of poses (though we’ll get those too). The real magic happens when your kids are laughing with you, not just at the goofy lady behind the camera. Whether it’s ice cream dates, backyard adventures, park play, or beach fun, we’ll capture your family in moments that feel bright, joyful, and totally you.

Classic keepsakes and timeless portraits? Absolutely. 

But the moments you remember most? Those are the ones we’ll chase first.

 

Bright light, good vibes, real feelings — photos that make you feel.

Your Story

Let’s Connect!

Beyond the pretty pictures are true connections I am able to form with clients who often turn into new friends! We all have a story to tell and in turn so much to learn from one another.

About Shannon

Kind Words

...she also brings out the best in each of us for our sessions. Our girls look forward to seeing Shannon for the photoshoots and are disappointed when our session ends.”

Catching up on a few summer sessions over here! Catching up on a few summer sessions over here! 
This graduation party from June was such a hit! The parents thought of every little detail — from the VW photo booth van and tiki bar theme to an incredible hibachi dinner. I loved capturing all the thoughtful touches along with the big moments of celebrating their graduate.
Such a fun way to celebrate and send him off in style!

Thinking about doing your family photos in a studi Thinking about doing your family photos in a studio space? There are pros and cons to consider- but I just loved how comfortable this space is and all variety we were able to create at the You’re So Fancy studio in Royal Oak.
We got bright and cozy family photos, more intimate photos in a room set up with a bed and ended with those beautiful bassinet photos as well. 
Head to the blog to see the full session and more examples of all the settings we used in this space!
I saw a post that said “it’s not that I’m going to I saw a post that said “it’s not that I’m going to miss summer, but it’s saying goodbye to the version of my kids in this exact moment” oooph that is soo accurate. So glad when you call me to help you freeze a little more of who they are right now. 🤍
Slow down summer…. ☀️ Slow down summer…. ☀️
Holding onto this season just a little longer befo Holding onto this season just a little longer before everything changes in the sweetest way very soon! 🤍
