Hi, I'm Shannon!

The lady behind the lens

Hi! I’m Shannon.  Part photographer, part memory-maker, and part cheerleader — helping your family show up, play, and leave with photos you’ll treasure forever.

I’ve always been a deep feeler, someone who notices the little things and finds beauty in everyday moments. When my first son was born, that perspective grew into a purpose: capturing the fleeting, joyful, real moments of life through photography.

About Shannon

Working together

Your family. Your Moments. 

Your memories.

When I moved to Michigan, I didn’t know a soul. As a new mom in a new city, I made it a priority to meet people, listen to their stories, and build meaningful connections — a practice I’ve carried into my photography. I truly respect and celebrate all types of families and I’ve found that understanding people and their stories is what makes photography so powerful.

 

Every session is shaped around your family — your laughs, your snuggles, and your playful chaos — so we capture real, joyful moments that are bright, timeless, and uniquely yours.

She's great with little kids and keeps things fun and moving efficiently (without feeling rushed) since she knows it's hard to keep little ones' attention..."

Kind Words

Time Flies!

My babies are now in the “big kid” years. It’s cliche to say, but it really does fly by! I’m so glad I have photos to remind me of such sweet milestones along the way.

I take photos that I would want too as a mom!

My goal is to make your session stress-free, playful, and full of connection, so your kids are laughing with you, not just at the camera.

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!
