Memory preservation this way
I don’t do stiff, awkward posing. I don’t believe in forcing moments. And I definitely don’t want you worrying about what to do with your hands. I’m here to make this fun, stress-free, and completely you.
Choosing a photographer isn’t just about finding someone with a nice camera. It’s about finding the one. The person who gets your energy, your love story, your people, and your once-in-a-lifetime moments. Because these aren’t just photos. They’re the memories you’ll look back on forever.
That’s where I come in.
Someone who hypes you up, guides you when you need it, and captures every single emotion as it unfolds.
but shows out
You want someone who doesn’t only show up,
Shannon took our wedding pictures and they are our most cherished pictures of our family. She so easily captures authentic moments and makes you feel at ease in front of the camera. Everything she captures is a work of art!
Tampa based, but totally travels for love!
More on my story here
If you’re looking for a photographer who’s all about stiff poses and perfect angles… well, I’m probably not your girl. But if you want someone who’s going to hype you up, make you laugh, and capture the kind of photos that make you feel something? Then let’s do this!
I started photography by capturing the little moments in my classroom as a first-grade teacher, then documenting every single second of my own kids growing up. That passion turned into my purpose, and now I get to do what I love most - helping people see just how incredible their story truly is.
i’m all about energy, connection, and embracing the beautifully imperfect moments that make life so special.
Hi, I’m Shannon!

If you’re nodding along thinking, “Yes, this is what we’ve been looking for!”
Hey, you, yes you!
You want more than just pretty pictures, you want photos that make you feel something.
You’re willing to trust the process, whether that means kicking off your shoes, dancing in the sand, or running through the waves.
You want your photographer to actually care about you and your story, not just show up, take photos, and leave.
You love natural light, candid moments, and images that feel alive and full of emotion.
You want an experience that’s fun, stress-free, and so much more than just a photoshoot.
Here’s how to tell if we’re a good fit:
