Hi, I’m Shannon, an ex-accountant turned newborn, baby milestone, and family photographer! It might seem unusual for an accountant to become a photographer, but it was a logical step. It taught me the importance of meticulous planning and organization. That same level of care and structure is brought to every session, ensuring a relaxed and seamless experience.

The same precision applied to spreadsheets translated into an artistic eye for capturing the delicate details of newborns, the ever-changing personalities of baby’s first year, and the constant-love between parents and children. Those moments are a lot more rewarding than a balanced budget!

The arrival of my own children ignited a passion for capturing the magic and fleeting beauty of newborn life and baby’s first year. Photography became a way to create timeless memories for my own family as well as the wonderful families I have worked with over the last 17 years.

The journey from accountant to photographer wasn’t a leap of faith, but a natural progression fueled by a deep love for storytelling and creating tangible memories. Now, this passion translates into capturing the purest moments for you!

Every photograph is treated as a treasured piece of your story. Thank you for exploring my portfolio. I hope I’m the photographer you’ve been looking for!
