Hi, I'm Shawna!  Your #1 hype girl and your styling and posing BFF!

are you ready?

working with Shawna changed the way my daughter feels about taking photos. 
she was dreading  her senior photo session, she was so nervous about how to pose and what the experience of having all that focus on her would be like, but shawna's  personality and
carefree guidance changed her entire outlook on the process! She could not wait for each
outfit change and for each change of scenery.  her confidence grew so quickly
through the shoot and she soon felt like a real "model". 
I could not give a higher recommendation than i do for shawna
and her entire team!  we made very beautiful pictures together
but also, and honestly just as importantly,
we made amazing memories in the process.    -Jen p

Shawna is an amazing Photographer! Actually THE BEST around! She truly goes above and beyond and she is just THE ONE you want taking your childs special pictures! 
HER AMAZINGNESS starts even before the shoot- she asks for inspiration from her clients and this is so important as seniors often have a VISION for what they want. And then she researches and seeks out exactly what you are wanting! This is a touch that makes Shawna STAND OUT above the rest! 
The day of the shoot she greets you with her positivity, KINDNESS and BUBBLY personality. She puts the kids at ease and makes them FEEL like the model they look like.
Shawna has a knack for STYLE and pays attention to every DETAIL from the background, from the pose to even random sticks that may be laying around.  She seeks perfection in her photos! 
Shawna knows what will compliment each senior and will pose them to show their best side! And what she captures is truly MAGICAL! 

I have used her on a few separate occasions and each one is as UNFORGETTABLE as the next! They are photographs that will hang on my walls for years! 

all the love
