Thanks for scrolling alllll the way down here! I am a Wisconsin documentary style wedding photographer, whose clients are fun, silly, romantic and all about celebrating life and friendship. I love working with people who have a sense of humor and cherish the little things. I get it! You've probably just picked a date - maybe a venue, and you're quickly realizing how insane it can be to plan a wedding!

My FIRST priority is to ease you with my chill personality & hope that my experience & knowledge in this industry will help you feel comfortable & relaxed from now through to your big day! I offer sophisticated, fun, upbeat photography so that your guests, wedding party & YOU have a great time on your wedding day.
Services
I'm passionate about providing as many people as possible with beautifully lit, emotionally compelling representations of their life right now. Because tomorrow is not guaranteed, and having memories recorded in photographs have incredible healing power.

There might be different definitions out there, but for me, it's a blend of traditional family photos, and documentary style to give you frame-worthy images and memories that represent your connection with family members.A short questionnaire will help me with ideas for things to do during your shoot to make sure I can capture the essence of who you are as a family and what you love about each other.
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled for the first two weeks after the baby is born. I only take newborns during the week in the mornings, whether we do them in studio, or in your home. My home studio is located in Kenosha, WI. I use mainly natural light, as well as studio lighting, depending on the look you're wanting.
If this is your first pregnancy, you'll likely start to feel more energetic as you come into your third trimester, which makes it a great time to get your maternity photos done! We can talk about styles to see if studio or on location lifestyle session for maternity will suit you best. Spouses and children are always welcome to be apart of the shoot as well.
This variety of wedding portraits summarizes the style and approach I have when capturing your special day. As you can see, I absolutely love black and white images, as well as vivid color. When editing your photo gallery, I will include both the color version of any photo converted to black and white so that you have both.
Recently engaged and looking for a unique and fun engagement session in the Kenosha or Milwaukee area? I would love to brainstorm ideas on how we could create a one of a kind engagement photo shoot for you and your fiance. Popular locations for engagement sessions in the Kenosha area are similar to locations for family sessions.

I don't know where to start!
Shannon was absolutely fantastic from the minute we reached out; even when I missed her first email she reached out again. On the day of our shoot she was punctual and professional.
She was very patient with our puppy who would not sit still and she managed to get stunning shots of him.
Shannon also got the digital images to us must faster than I had expected and we were pleased with all the images. The quality was just absolutely amazing. We can't begin to thank her enough.
We can't wait to book our next shoot with her!

We chose Shannon to take our son’s senior pictures and we couldn’t be happier. The entire process from making the appointment to viewing the final image gallery was simple and secure and any communication was extremely timely. We greatly appreciated both her suggestions and her openness to our ideas at the photoshoot itself. And the things she’d do to get the best shot we’re impressive! 😄 The results are beautiful and it’s soooo hard to choose favorites!
