Capturing memories for the happiest, wildest, can't-stop-smiling kind of love. For souls who seek to feel the ocean's breeze, to climb and conquer mountains, to dance with flowers in their hair, and to chase the most whimsical waterfalls. Let's adventure together!

hii! i'm shannon!

I’m the biggest most playful goofball and have a thing for all the nature (minus the bugs, AH!). I was born and raised in San Francisco, and am currently spending time in CA and VA. When I’m not shooting, I’m hanging out with my super awesome fiancé (who I am just a little bit obsessed with!), chasing down sunsets and running through flower fields, forcing my cats to cuddle with me, over-eating pizza and watching way too many Harry Potter re-runs.

I love finding gratitude in all of life’s small and grand moments, and feel so lucky to be able to share and hold these moments through the art of photography.

Random fun fact:

  • If I could have a superpower, it would be to heal people. Or….to have pizza appear on command.

 

say hello!

Shannon is a true gem! From her joyful and uplifting presence throughout the shoot to her knowledge and expertise on getting the perfect shots; she creates pure magic that can be cherished for a lifetime. She has the amazing ability to make anyone that may be camera shy feel like a model. I not only received a gorgeous gallery of photos that exceeded my hopes and dreams, I left the shoot with more confidence than ever. Your future self will thank you for booking a session with Shannon!

Shannon is not only an amazing photographer with a great eye for light, she is the best hype-woman you can ask for. It was so fun and my fiance even really got into all the posing. If you're anything like me and my fiance, taking professional photos for the first time was really stressful and awkward. Shannon gave us plenty of helpful tips for styling our outfits, suggested the most amazing location for our photoshoot, and made us both feel so glamorous throughout the entire process. Feeling good and prepared made the photos look even more natural and amazing. One other thing I love about Shannon is she is super flexible and considerate. She'll guide you through the entire shoot but will also ask you if there's any poses or picture visions you want to try.

I received so, so many compliments about our engagement photos. The best way describe it was dreamy and enchanting. Thanks for making us look amazing, Shannon!! Do yourself a favor and book her for a photoshoot ASAP!

What can I say except that Shannon is a hidden treasure that we found on Thumbtack! Apart from her professionalism, punctuality, and endless patience with our DIY wedding throughout the process, we cannot commend her enough for her energy and passion. She squeezed in an engagement shoot as we were traveling from the midwest to our hometown in the bay area and the pictures turned out amazing! Trust that if you book Shannon, you will get the chance to have wonderful engagement/wedding pictures, but also get to know a lovely and kindhearted person that can work in any environment.
