I’m Shannon.
First and foremost, I’m a nature schooling, holistic and mindful mama of 2 beautiful babes, Laiken (5) and Kora (2). I’m a lover of adventure, vegan burgers, hott yoga, thrift shopping, hikes, essential oils, and large bodies of water. When I’m not busy as hell juggling this business, and all the things, you can find us surfing or paddle boarding. I grew up in water, swam competitively at age 5. I also grew up on Canyon Lake, fell in love on Canyon Lake, and now pass on the love of the water, nature and the importance of staying active to our babies. A day spent on the water, in the sunshine with my favorite babes fulfills my soul.

My Artistic Journey.
My passion for photography began when I was very young. I’ve always been artistic and my favorite memories were going through our memory books at my grandmother’s house. I was awarded ‘most artistic’ in high school. I was on the yearbook staff, and some of my favorite memories in middle school included my best friends and the disposable cameras we would buy and max out every single weekend! I was the girl with pictures all over my walls, and man, that hasn’t changed! I bought my first DSLR in college with student loan money. I picked up jobs here and there along side of my studies. That’s when I shot everything and everything I could just for the fun of it. My dream was always to be an artist, and to live a more carefree lifestyle. My uncle supported my dream, while my parents continued to push me to work towards a more secure and traditional career. I continued school to become a physical therapist, with photography on the side. Then my son was born, and my passion for capturing intimate moments really took over me. After years of doing photography on the side, I honestly didn’t fully commit to making my dream a reality, until my children’s father and I separated. That’s when I realized this is the career for me. Motherhood and the inspiration that has come with it has set my soul on fire, I’m extremely passionate about it, but also now I was forced into having to be a self sufficient single mother. So, now I’m hustling, working towards fulfilling all my other dreams.
What I want for you.
Well, your my friend, so truthfully, your trust in me is so so special to me. For this 1-2 hour time frame that your in front of my lens, I zone in on the details, the emotion, the love, the intimacy, the rawness, the real you. This is your now. This is what future generations will cherish forever. I also have a strong passion for helping others grow! So, I’m now offering my heart as a Mentor/Teacher! If you’re also a creative and need some guidance, an extra push, someone to guide you, I’m here.
