I'm so incredibly happy you're here.

Love is very prominent in my life. It's in the music I listen to, the poetry I write, the TV shows I love to binge watch, and the people around me who are very important to me. Love is also the entirety of my career. Capturing your love and commitment to each other, and showing who you really are, and being able to really make it yours.

 

It’s about you, your relationship, what makes you laugh with each other... what makes you love each other in the first place. The real emotion of it all. That is why I love love so much. That's why I want to tell your story with my photographs. The raw, authentic, intimate moments - those are everything.

 

Photography has a special place in my heart and I love capturing those candid and love-filled moments for everyone around me. If you are celebrating a marriage, your family growing up together, an anniversary or anything that is important to you, send me a message and let me capture those memories for you and tell your story.

 

I want you to remember those moments that pass by in the blink of an eye forever

"If you are looking for an amazing photographer Shannon is your girl! We were so lucky to have her take our engagement and wedding photos. She is so amazing and made us feel so comfortable. She is phenomenal at what she does and so many of our guests commented on how warm and personable she is. She is so positive and energetic – even in the freezing cold and rain! She goes above and beyond and our pictures turned out so beautiful. She was incredibly easy to work with and is great at providing direction. Then we were so happy to have her do maternity and newborn pictures for us just recently. She is easy to talk to and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Could not recommend her enough!"

"There are not enough fantastic words to describe Shannon! Right from the start, she felt like an old friend that we have always known.  She makes you feel so comfortable while taking pictures by playing music, using prompts and has so many fun ideas for creating lasting moments. On our wedding day, she was in the background but still managed to take so many amazing photos. She pays such close attention to detail, never letting one hair/tie/bouquet be out of place for those perfect shots. She even had a hand fan to cool me down on the hot day that was our wedding. She is definitely not “just a photographer“, she goes above and beyond in every way imaginable to make wedding days (and all photo sessions) absolutely perfect in every way she can. We have not stopped looking through our photos and it amazes us how one person can be in so many places at once to get all the best angles of every shot. She puts in so much love to her work and it is an honour to have worked so closely with Shannon since being introduced to her. Since our engagement and wedding, we have had Shannon take maternity, newborn and family sessions and still cannot say enough amazing things about her! She braved the cold and insane wind with us on the day of our maternity photos, loved on our dogs so they would concentrate for photos (that is no easy task!), was so caring and patient during our newborn photos, let our nephews throw leaves all over her and brought extra fuzzy blankets for the littles to curl up in during our extended family sessions and is just such a light every single session. She is so incredibly patient and understanding when kids/babies are involved with shoots, she stands back and waits for those cute moments and then pictures prove that. She definitely goes the extra mile to get all the best shots. Long story short, Shannon is the superwoman of the photography world. Some of our most important moments have been captured by Shannon and we cannot thank her enough that we get to hold onto them forever. Ladies, she also gets those real smiles out of the guys too, not just the “if I smile this ends sooner smile”. We will always suggest Shannon for photos, no matter the occasion. If you’re looking for a sign to book with her, look no further because this is your sign."

... I've captured all their big milestones as they've unfolded, I'm now invested in their story. I'm so grateful to be able to tell that story through my photographs.
