  Incredible photos

  Shawna was so amazing to work with! She traveled to be at our wedding and was still able to go check out our first look spot and the venue before coming to meet us for getting ready photos. She was so fun and easy to have around while we were getting ready, and then gave amazing direction during our first look and wedding party photos. My now husband and I rarely take pictures and definitely felt a little awkward posing, but she gave such great direction that we felt much more comfortable. We now have all the photos back and they are incredible!! She really managed to get pictures of everything we wanted, and our pre-ceremony pictures are truly magical. I cannot recommend Shawna enough!

  Shawna just photographed our wedding and we just got our photos back, I am so beyond happy with them!! Not only did we have a blast with her through our entire wedding day but also with our engagement photos. She hike the entire Devils Lake with us and into pictures that captured us perfectly!! I just recently got her photos back from the wedding and instantly started crying tears of happiness when I saw them! I could not be more happy, there are so many to choose from we are going to have a hard time picking which ones to go with . She went above and beyond what any photographer whatever do . Needless to say she will be our photographer every step of her life from here on out! 5 stars is not enough to give her!!!! Shawna not only are you amazingly talented but we had a complete blast with you throughout the entire process!!!????

  Professional, Kind, Amazing!

  I’ve been working with Shawna for over a decade. In that time Shawna has captured beautiful photos of my college graduation portraits, couples’ photos, and mother/daughter photos. For my Halloween Masquerade themed wedding she went above and beyond on a cold, rainy, October day to make sure we got the perfect shot. It has been wonderful working with a photographer that has become a part of our family and a dear friend, as she continues to capture different milestones in our lives including our recent pregnancy announcement. Her photo editing skills are amazing and natural, but just enough to make you feel confident and comfortable in every image. If you decide to work with Lotusfly Photography, you’ll be getting more than just a professional photographer because you’ll be working with someone who truly cares about the special moments in your life and aims to make any occasion one to remember!

  Shawna and her assistant were amazing on our wedding day! So much that I've used her for other shoots! They were very professional and never in the way as I've seen that happen at other weddings! Captured many gorgeous and fun shots! We were not disappointed.

  Shawna was AMAZING. She was so brilliant at capturing so many special moments during our wedding, plus, she was super unobtrusive. She was like a photography ninja! I have never been so happy with photos, and I practically work with them (I'm a casting director for a professional theatre company - I look at photos ALL DAY LONG). Every photo was beautiful, natural, and really captured the joy from the day. HIRE HER!

  I was so enamored with the quality of Shawna's social media posts that after several back and forths, we decided to book her for our wedding in upstate New York, hundreds of miles from Shawna’s Wisconsin-based business. This geographic disparity proved to be a nonissue as Shawna maintained open communication with us throughout the planning process and took care of the logistics of her travel and accommodations. Katherine and I were wed on September 1, 2012. It was a beautiful day, filled with love, laughter, and dancing! I’d hate to admit it, but I didn’t even notice the photographer. Shawna really took into consideration what we felt were essential shots and made sure they were captured, while remaining unobtrusive and flexible. Shawna even worked within our schedule and came back to the venue the following morning to take some couple portraits. Shawna is professional, kind, and thoughtful, but above all she is truly talented. Once we received our photos, we shared them with our friends and family, all of whom were intensely impressed and eager to order prints of their own. Since receiving our arsenal of fabulous photos, Katherine and I have fancied ourselves fashion models; continuously updating our Facebook profiles with new pics, each one perfectly capturing the happiness we felt that day. The icing on the cake was when one of our pictures was published on Italian Vogue’s website. Though Shawna was a clear choice for our wedding photography, working with her exceeded our wildest expectations and we simply couldn’t be happier.

  Shawna is a talented artist. We fly her out to New York to photograph our wedding and were so happy that we did. She was unobtrusive and very responsive to our list of wants and needs. Everyone who attended the wedding said that they never even saw her, but somehow she provided us with portrait quality photos of every single one of our guests. Three years later, we are still in awe of the pictures when we look back at them and they flood us with such special and happy memories. We couldn't have asked for better quality photos and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Reasonably priced and professional from start to finish.

  Shawna was great to work with. She had wonderful ideas and captured our wedding beautifully. She was very responsive and helped us through the process to make it one less thing I had to worry about for our special day. I'd definitely work with Shawna on future events!!

  I would highly recommend LotusFly to everyone! Shawna was extremely easy to work with and very affordable. Our pictures were beautiful and we received so many compliments on our photos. Not only did we look great and have beautiful photos but they really caught the spirit of our family and guests on our special day!

  Shawna was amazing! She was super flexible and when our budget didn't allow for all of the services we wanted, she worked with us to get us as much as she could for a minimal budget. She took all of the pictures that we wanted and even took some that we didn't know we wanted! She is personable and fun and melts into the crowd and was not obtrusive at all. I would recommend her to anyone!!

  Wow! Shawna definitely captured the essence of our wedding. Guests said she was very unobtrusive during the ceremony, but she managed to get perfect shots at perfect times. The "couple" poses after the ceremony were very well done - fun, and fanciful. My family members enjoyed receiving prints of the group photos as well.
  
  We got together and discussed what our wedding would be like, what I wanted, and she was very reassuring that she could be "our" photographer. Seriously, I can look through the photos and smile, they are like a storyline through our special day.

  My husband and I had an unplanned court wedding, but we were so lucky to have found Shawna to be our photographer! It was a cold gloomy day in late December. But our pictures showed so much more :) We are excited for all of our future photos with Shawna!

  I'd think long and hard before hiring Shawna for your wedding. She uploaded 2 of my images to her fb page which were beautiful. When my husband and I received the other 480 images from our wedding day, we were extremely DISGUSTED. Our olympus camera caught better images than she captured. Out of 480 images, only the "2" she put on fb were truly edited. I was left with discolored looking skin tones, blemishes and dark spots from shadowing. Unprofessional. When emailing her, she kept pushing her deadline 3 different times. Sure she offered me a free canvas for her lateness but thats $20 from Walgreens. She emailed me about her personal life and made excuses for why she was late instead of remembering I was a paid in full customer. And what I got for waiting? Pictures that are in desperate need of editing. Think, direct sunlight on your face, washed out to see every wrinkle, crease, blemish known to man. Thanks Shawna! 2 thumbs down.
