Being in front of the camera isn't awkward when you get to work with your bestie (to be clear, that’s me. Or, at least, it’s about to be.)

You spent hours endlessly scrolling on Instagram + Pinterest to find a photographer you really connect with – but after looking at all these perfectly posed portraits, you're wondering if your photos will turn out the same.

“shannon is passionate about what she does”
“When it came time to do our engagement session, my fiancé and I were both a bit anxious/nervous because we’d never been professionally photographed before. Within the first few minutes of meeting Shannon, we knew we made the right choice. We both instantly felt at ease in her presence while she did her magic – she played some music for us, kept complimenting us, and making us laugh! She was our own personal hype person – it was so perfect! Not only that, but by the end of the night – she was hanging out with our family like she knew them for years. My entire family gushed over how much of a sweetheart she was and how amazing her energy was. Shannon is so passionate about what she does and it truly shows.”
HANNAH + JOHHNY
"SHANNON EXCEEDED ALL OF OUR EXPECTATIONS!"
"Shannon is everything you want when hiring a photographer. She is a literal ray of sunshine (of the name didn’t give that away). She is professional, fun, upbeat, and keeps you laughing and entertained, all while capturing the most amazing shots. Our toddler loved her and actually cooperated and smiled!!!! The photos and memories we made during our shoot are beautiful and incredible."
LAUREN + MATT
"SHANNON'S A FUN PERSON TO BE AROUND"
My fiancé and I were both a little nervous because we had never had any type of professional photography done, but Shannon helped us feel comfortable the whole time. We laughed and couldn’t believe how many different poses/activities she had do. I’ve gotten so many compliments on our photos and I seriously couldn’t recommend her enough! I’ve had people tell me they are the best photos they’ve ever seen. Yes, she really is that good. If you’re unsure, don’t be – her photography, guidance, and kindness are worth every single penny. Also she’s just a fun person to be around, so if all the above wasn’t enough for you somehow, she has a great personality too! Thank you again Shannon from the bottom of our hearts we love our photos and will cherish them for a lifetime.
BAILEY + ALEX
"HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!"
“We are so happy we chose Shannon to take our engagement pictures! She made us feel so comfortable during the entire process. I love that she takes the time to get to know you – it makes the actual photo shoot day so much smoother. Her pose/scene ideas are the cutest ever and I love that she captures all of the moments in between to make for some of the best pictures. We had a great time during our photo session and were always genuinely laughing and making good conversation in between walks. The pictures came out even better than I could have imagined AND the amount of pictures we got was more than I’ve ever seen with any photographer. Highly recommend her!!”

Process for all sessions
Let’s be besties! Fill out my inquiry form and tell me all about you + what you have envisioned for your session! What are some fun facts about you? Favorite way to spend your weekends? If you have a partner, how'd you meet them? If we're capturing your family, what's something you want to remember from this season?
Inquire
After I read over your inquiry and become obsessed with you – I'll send you my pricing guide and a link to schedule a call with me! Creating real connections + friendships makes alllll the difference when it comes to your session, so I hop on a call with everyone before we make anything official!
Connect
Once we connect, I'll ask more questions about you, tell you more about my story + how I work, go over my pricing guide together, and pick out the perfect collection for you! We'll talk all about location – whether you have a specific one in mind already or you want some suggestions for a specific vibe (like the mountains, the beach, city vibes), I got you!
Pricing
I'll send over a contract for you to sign – with payments split into 2 or 3, depending on the package! Once we're official, I'll share my what-to-wear guide and a session questionnaire to ensure I'm giving you the ultimate custom experience! I love it when you text me pictures of your outfits and ask for opinions, so send 'em my way!!

Session
Now it's time for me to make my magic. Next, I get to work on your photos!! Imagine me in my office at my standing desk, strutting to a Taylor Swift playlist on my walking pad, ice cold vanilla chai + emotional support water bottle by my side, obsessing over your cute face. I pick out a million of my faves, edit them to perfection, and send you the full gallery 3-6 weeks post-session (depending on the package!)
Edit
There are many ways to have fun with your photos! Bring your moments to life through the print shop in your gallery, or customize a heirloom album with me! Use engagement photos for your wedding website, save the dates, and as decor for your reception space (which you'll repurpose into your home and start the gallery wall you've been dreaming of, obviously). Annnnd, equally as important... update your profile pics + post them all over your social so your friends can see how cuuuute you are!!!
Reminisce
Have more questions?
Absolutely not! I love capturing couples sessions for friends at all stages (: I dated my fiancé for 7 years before we officially got engaged, and we've done so many couple sessions along the way! I'm so happy I have all of these professional memories to look back on, and I think you deserve them too!!
Do we have to be engaged before we book a session?
If you'd like to book a session, I can typically accommodate you on a weekday, within the next few weeks! If you want to travel for to a destination, or want the New England peak fall foliage – reach out a few months in advance!
How far in advance do I need to reach out?
I do not – those are reserved for weddings and time off! Weekends are typically when locations are the busiest, so I always schedule my sessions on week days to avoid crowds (and tons of people in the background of your photos).
Do you book sessions on the weekends?
I’m currently based in Manchester, NH – but my camera bags are always packed so say the word and I’ll be there! (as long as I can stop for my vanilla iced chai on the way).
Where are you based?
I’m always missing my family + friends in California, so I travel home to the Bay Area a few times a year! I leave room in my schedule to book a few sessions while I’m in town, so check out my travel schedule, and let’s make some magic! If you don't see a date on my travel schedule that works for you, reach out anyway! I'm always down to make a specific trip out for you so we can work together. Once we connect, I'll send you my pricing guide that details my collection options + travel pricing information!
How often do you travel to the Bay Area?
I’m all ears!!! I love it when couples have specific ideas for their sessions, it’s so fun to help bring them to life!
What if we have specific photo requests?
Want to get on my mini-session wait list for first dibs at a slot?
1.5 hours of driving round-trip is included with every collection. For sessions or beyond that, I have flat rate travel frees that vary depending on distance and complexity of coverage (and include things like miles, gas, hotel stay, flights, rental cars, etc). To make things super easy – I'll take care of booking all my travel plans, so you don't have to worry about a thing!
Are there travel fees?
Of course! The cost of your session will be split into 2 or 3 payments – depending on the collection!
Do you offer payment plans?
YESSS!!! PLEASE, I’m begging you. If you don’t… I’ll be upset :(
Can we bring our dog?
SIGN UP HERE!
Absolutely! I have a what-to-wear guide to send over to you, and I love it when you text me pictures of outfits you’re thinking!! I’m always here to help.
Will you help us with outfits?
I got you! When you work with me, you don’t have to worry about a thing. I’ll tell you what to do the whole time, and put you into poses that feel fun and familiar – give each other the biggest hug, hold hands + walk away from me, take turns kissing each other on different parts of your face… ya know, just the things you’re already pros at!
We don’t know how to pose... help?
I want you to have all of the beautiful photos from our time together, so I never limit the amount of photos I deliver – these are your MEMORIES!! But, you can expect around 50-100 photos per hour we work together. Your gallery will be delivered in the following 3-6 weeks, depending on the length of your session!
How many photos will you deliver and when can we expect them?
Ready to see how much fun and easy capturing your memories can be?
