About

About Me:

I crave adventure. The kind that lets me explore the world. The kind of adventure that when I think back about it even years later, I can still hear the laughter I shared. The kind that nurtures and cultivates relationships. The kind of adventure that changes me…and allows me to change others. I’m spontaneous, a little rebellious, and a little follow-the-rules. I FEEL all of the feels, all of the time. I will sing at your sessions…and likely express my excitement with a happy dance. And I’ll probably tell you too much and make you laugh with me (but probably at me). No matter the adventure we are on, I promise it’s going to be a fun one.

Wife Life:

I met my husband my very first day of college at Texas Lutheran University. I talked some major smack while playing a competitive game of poker and he sarcastically talked smack right back. It was love. Really though, it’s important to have a partner who balances you. And Justin is that for me. While I’m spontaneous and often unrealistic, he is a thinker, planner and reels me back in when my ideas are not well planned out. But he also supports me and lets me dream.

Mom Life:

In my daily grind, you’ll find me raising 3 very independent and spirited GIRLS. The kind that will no doubt be capable of running our country one day. Or a gang. Fingers crossed it’s our country though. You’ll also find me editing photos (or answering emails) while my girls are at gymnastics or in the car line for school pick up.

Why you’re here:

Maybe you saw an image that was different, creative, or interesting. Maybe you saw an image that made you feel something and was full of authentic, raw emotion. Maybe you saw an image that was timeless. Or maybe I just got lucky and you clicked on the wrong link.

What you should know:

Epic. Authentic. Creative. Unique. Emotive. These are the words that I use to tell your story through my camera. Your story is not like everyone else’s- so your wedding photos should not be either. And also, my clients become my family…so you should know that upfront too.

SO happy I trusted Shannon with my day

Just weeks after we booked Shannon as our photographer, she messaged us asking if we were up for a “spontaneous adventure” for our engagement shoot. Two weeks later, we found ourselves driving to New Mexico to meet her in white sands! Not only did it feel like we were fast friends, she made taking pictures fun enough that my husband didn’t complain once while playing in the sand in a suit and tie. For the wedding day itself, Shannon was continuously flexible and flawlessly rearranged the picture schedule when the bridal party was running behind, so that the rest of the day could stay on track. Looking back on my wedding, there are many venues that would have been just as beautiful, many caterers that would have provided great food, but I truly don’t believe that anyone could have captured my day and my memories, coordinated, and just “fit” quite like Shannon did, all while leaving me with pictures that truly take my breath away!

Her work speaks for itself!!

From the moment I saw Shannon's work, I knew I wanted her as my wedding photographer. I had only lived in Texas for 4ish months when we started wedding planning, but I knew out of all the details of a wedding what I wanted in wedding photos and Shannon's work nailed it. I was a nervous wreck months/days leading up to our wedding, fearful that there wouldn't be enough time in our schedule for photos OR that getting ready at our house wouldn't be visually appealing enough, or that our venue didn't offer a lot of "creativity" for Shannon... but from the moment she arrived for a full busy day, she killed it!! Looking back, I was worried for absolutely nothing. I loved every photo she took and am completely blown away by her creativity, creative eye and professionalism!! We highly recommend Shannon and she will forever be our "go to photographer" as our life continues to evolve! Thanks for capturing our big day so beautifully!

Cannot sing enough praise

This woman is amazing and her pictures are phenomenal as well!!!!! I cannot say enough good things. Pictures came out awesome. She did our engagement photos and on our wedding. She was super timely in returning our finished product and with her creativity and eye for detail they were better than I could have ever imagined!!!!

Shannon is awesome! I chose her after she photographed my brother's wedding last year. She is so fun, and lively, and makes your photo experience very special. My now husband didn't even mind going through the process. :)
Her photos are beautiful and creative!

Shannon has an exceptional talent! From engagement photos until my daughter and her new husband left the wedding venue, Shannon gave 110% effort, high energy, and impeccable professional service to us. Such beautiful photos that we cannot choose just a few favorites! She has a way of making you feel like you are her only clients and at the top of her list of important things to do. I wish I could give her 20 stars.

Shannon seriously made our day! First of all, she is incredibly sweet and cute and her excitement is contagious. It is apparent that she loves what she does and I felt like she genuinely cared about us and capturing the moments that are important on your wedding day! I mean she even pushed for things that I didn't think I cared about and am so thankful she captured those moments now looking back. She showed up early (at a tough location to find) and immediately hit the ground running! We were a bit behind on our timeline and she helped keep us moving (or at least updated on what we had planned to do by certain ties) without being pushy. Lastly, she had a great eye for poses and cool spots to take photos. We were so lucky to have found Shannon and she will definitely be our photographer for life!
