My name is Shannon, I grew up in Milton, ON and am now based in London, ON. I am currently engaged to the love of my life and my best friend Joe. We have been together since 2015. The night we met, his band was playing a show, and as soon as I saw him I knew he was something special... so after the show I asked him to go out on a date and we've never stopped hanging out since! In 2020 we got engaged, and then in 2021 we had our beautiful daughter Autumn! She is the light of our lives and its safe to say we are OBSESSED with her. We also are huge dog lovers and always say that our 13 year old jack russell / pug mix Molly was our first dog-daughter together! (I love a dad joke and had to stop myself from writing "dog-ter" instead of dog daughter lol)
In high school, I was that girl carrying around a hot pink digital camera, taking hundreds of pictures of my friends. I always knew I loved capturing memories that people would want to remember, even if they didn't know it at the time. I remember when friends would complain about me always taking pictures, and I would tell them “You’ll be happy when you're older that you'll have all of these photos to look back on!” ...and I still feel the same way about my work now lol!
I have always thought looking back on memories is so special, because at the end of the day, our past shapes our lives. There are so many fleeting moments, so many forgotten smiles. Capturing those times, how we feel, who is important to us... that is the reason why I love my job. I would love to be the one to capture those important moments in your life.
Photos tell a story... let me tell yours!
I could go on and on, but instead I wrote out a few facts about me to help you get to know me a bit better...
✿ When I was younger I always wished I could take pictures when I blinked. I was (and still am) obsessed with capturing and remembering moments... which is also why I still keep a diary that I write in religiously!
✿ The sky is one of my all-time favourite things. It never looks the exact same, and its beauty is always there. All you have to do is look up
✿ I love to read. When I start to get that feeling of being overwhelmed by social media, I always grab a good book (usually from the thriller genre). I am a little competitive... so for fun I have competitions with myself to see how many books I can read in a year, and I always try to read more than the last. I'm a dork I KNOW haha!
✿ I love my "safe" shows like Greys Anatomy and Friends... you know, the ones that feel like home that you have watched over and over again from start to finish hundreds of times...BUT my guilty pleasure is reality dating shows like any of The Bachelor franchise shows or Love Island!
✿ I love "would you rather" questions. They always come out of me when I'm bored to whoever I'm around. When Joe and I can't sleep at night, we come up with the craziest ones together!
✿ I love to cook! I tend to experiment a lot but I don't look at any recipes, I always wing it, and to be honest whatever I'm making always turns out delicious! My parents are the same way... so thats definitely where I got that from!
✿ Last but not least... I am a hopeless romantic and LOVE a good love story. Get ready to tell me yours! :)
xo, Shannon
