These aren't juuuust photos – they’re your memories,
and I want you to have the happiest memories of your life to reminisce on years later (one of my favorite hobbies).
When I miss my dad, I look at my favorite out-of-focus portrait I took of him at the 4th of July Parade in the mountains, flying kites together in the golden grassy field behind our house, and kayaking at the lake with our dog Scruffy.
I look through my disposable camera prints and relive our weekend adventures, and if I try hard enough, I can almost smell his amazing cooking (which I would do anything to eat one more time).
Photos are everything – they preserve our favorite memories and people, and keep them alive forever, even as life continues to change.
About
Oh hey, I’m Shannon!
Even though I've been obsessed with photography for most of my life, I grew up with dreams of becoming a lawyer... because that was a "real" job. But after mentoring with an attorney for a senior project in high school, I realized work would entail things like sitting at a desk + filling out paperwork, and a lot less
action-packed-court-room-drama than I was imagining.
After my Law & Order dreams were crushed – I decided to pursue a career path that felt more meaningful to me. I wanted to connect with as many people as possible, impact their lives, wake up every day feeling so so excited about my job, and most importantly... have FUN!!
The obvious choice became photography. Right after high school, I attended the Art Institute of SF, where I graduated with honors and a Bachelor of Science in Photography! And over a decade later – I'm living the dream, and working with the coolest couples from coast-to-coast, capturing their weddings, engagements, and milestone moments!!!

1989: I cried my way into the
concert after buying fake "floor tickets" from a sketchy man on Craigslist. Shout out to the kind lady who let me in the stadium anyway – the view from the standing-room-only section was actually pretty fire.
Reputation: I got real tickets with my friends this time (lol) and
secured them on my birthday! It was an amazing concert, and I can't wait for Taylor's Version!!
Eras Tour: I had the worst FOMO after her New England shows, so I bought flights to the Bay Area the weekend Taylor Swift would be in town. Days before the show, my friend's cousin reached out with 2 tickets for me to buy!!! (At face value, bless her soul) We had the BEST seats ever and I'm still on a high from the night!!!
All the magic made
