Shannon

Hi there, I'm Shannon! I am first and foremost saved by grace and a work in progress. I'm a wife, mother, believer, and lover of all things seafood! People and photography are my passion. From everyday moments to major milestones, photography confronts time and has the unique ability to slow us down and savor the beauty in all of it. I had the privilege of studying Fine Art Photography and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Arizona State University. I was blessed to turn my passion into a profession and have joyfully photographed weddings for over 18 years. When I'm not behind the camera, you will find me soaking up

From everyday moments to major milestones, photography confronts time and has the unique ability to slow us down and savor the beauty in all of it. I had the privilege of studying Fine Art Photography and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Arizona State University. I was blessed to turn my passion into a profession and have joyfully photographed weddings for over 18 years. When I'm not behind the camera, you will find me soaking up quality time with family and friends, staying active, volunteering, ubering our 4 kids around, racking up Chipotle points, and eagerly planning our next family adventure. I can't wait to connect and capture your story!

It makes me smile to see the shoes the bride has chosen on her wedding day. Yes, it may be a small deAlong with the raw emotion of the groom seeing his bride walk down the aisle, one moment that never fails to make me smile (and likely tear up) is the special Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dance.
