Shannon was very easy to work with, and had a lot of good picture ideas for me and my fiancée who had never been photographed previously! She was very responsive, and in my case helped me with planning a good location, time, and back up plan. She was set up well in advance of me and my fiancée getting to the surprise location and was very discreet about taking the pictures. She was also flexible with time and even stayed a few minutes later to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted in all of the locations. I would highly recommend this photographer!

Shannon was a great photographer! She was very responsive and easy to work with. We hadn’t previously worked with her, but that was not a problem. She helped with a surprise proposal with very late notice. I would highly recommend her, the pictures are priceless!

Shannon was amazing. She captured the perfect proposal photos, and she was super easy to work with. She turned the photos around super quickly, and we were very pleased with the results. 10/10, would recommend to anyone!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing will vary depending on the project and location of the shoot.
Weddings vary depending on the package and needs for the day! Let’s chat about what you’re looking for!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My typical process with a new customer always starts with picking their brain on exactly what types of photos they’re looking for! Whether that just them describing the style they want or sending me some example from Pinterest I always want to make sure I have the same vision as my customer.
Then we pick a date, time, and location that works best for the both of us that will also achieve the look of the phots that they want! Finally we have lots of fun taking the pictures! After that I go home and fully edit the best images and I have the images back to the customer with 1-2 weeks!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have done endless amounts of trial and error! Practice, practice, and more practice! I have done lots of self education and watch YouTube to figure out the functions of shooting in manual! (Nothing better than free education) I have also had a mentor who has been a photographer for about 10 years show me the ropes as well! When it comes to editing I have taken various Lightroom classes and learned a lot from YouTube as well!
