About

I am very creative and though I will frequently view other photographer's work for inspiration, I don't steal their exact ideas. I am very creative and I hate stiff poses and smiles. I like to do "semi-candid" style (particularly with children and couples), which means I help create the photo by choosing background and a more casual pose and then back off and wait for "the moment". I hate cheesy backgrounds and props, I use a few props mostly with children to help get a natural smile. I'm also a member of the PPA (Professional Photographers of America) That it is emotional. I like to show the subject's personality in the photos. It's never the same and it's challenging and unpredictable. This job keeps me on my feet and I have to be creative.

Shannon has been my number one photographer for about 3years now.. She has done my baby shower photos, maternity photos and baby photos. I loved how ALL of my pictures turned out. It was hard to pick the best ones to print because they were all so good. Shannon has also done my sisters senior photos and I really wish I would have known about her when I had mine taken.. I had mine done at one of those senior picture studios, and they were horrible. Anyways, Shannon is fun and easy to work with and really accomadating. She also had really cute props to work with. I would highly suggest using her as your photographer for any occasion! I will deffinately be going back. Thank you Shannon!

We were so thrilled to have worked with Shannon for our maternity photos! She had so many great suggestions and was very receptive to our ideas, as well. There were so many good shots that we had a hard time choosing which ones to get prints of! We would be honored to use her talents again in the future and will be sure to refer friends her way.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was going to school for journalism and working for a local newspaper when my editor started giving me "photojournalism" assignments such as attending local parades and town carnivals or graduation ceremonies and the grand marches for prom where I would take many photos for them to publish. I was getting a lot of compliments on my photography so I decided to take a photography class which I really enjoyed and was told that I was good at, so I decided I'd rather be a photographer than a journalist.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have done a lot of family photography and weddings. I also have photographed 2 high school senior's photos, sweet 16 birthday party and a few maternity photos. I got started by doing photojournalism at local events such as plays and town carnivals, ect. for the Cambridge Star Newspaper in Cambridge, MN.
