Yearly Archives: 2009

Christmas was a go.

Even though Mother Nature tried to call off Christmas at our house this year, she did not succeed.
She only gave us the opportunity to help others in need, which was okay by me.
Of course, the boys and I were tucked safely (and warmly) in the truck while Josh stopped EVERY mile or so to help...

Couple of Knuckleheads

Yes, I’m still alive.  I’ve been REALLY lazy lately.  My bootie has been on the couch instead of in the computer chair.  It’s been nice.  REALLY nice.  So there.
Yes, I’m starting to feel guilty.
So, here I am.  Posting photos of my crazy sister and her best bud.  I love how they turned out – the...

December 30, 2009 - 10:30 am Amy - Happy New Year Shannon!! Your evening sounds just like how mine is going to play out!! Have a good one!

Taking it easy…

Miss me, much?
Yes, I’m still alive.  I’ve been taking a much needed break after an insanely busy holiday photography season.  I won’t be posting EVERY day like usual, but I will be around.  So, check in when you can, but don’t expect miracles.
Today was the first time I’ve picked up my camera since my crazy...

Slaughter Family

Meet the Slaughter family.

They think I’m a little crazy.  They’re probably right.
Our session was the first time they’d ever met me.  So, they had no idea what to expect.  Who can blame them?  If you’d met me for the first time without a friend telling you what type of thing goes on during our session,...

Craig Family

For those of you that came back yesterday afternoon hoping you’d get to see the Craig family’s sneak peek, thank you for believing in me.  More times than naught I’ve said I would be back to post and then got sidetracked making it impossible to do so.  Yesterday was one of those days.  I’m being...

December 15, 2009 - 10:03 am Katherine - Shannon, I love them all! You have no idea how many empty photo frames I have sitting around my house that are going to be filled with our beautiful photos!! Thank you again so much for taking out the time on your Sunday to give us these memories.

Great Big Grin

I hope you drove to work this morning wearing a GREAT BIG GRIN.  If not, you should have.

What a completely awesome SUNDAY we were blessed with this weekend.  Christmas is right around the corner, cards are going out, decorations are in every nook and cranny, and God is good.
I enjoyed a perfect weekend by celebrating...

December 14, 2009 - 3:15 pm Katherine - If I hadn't been smiling on the way to work, I definitely smiled when I saw that picture of my little sweety. She did so good yesterday!! I was very very proud. Thank you again so much. We had a wonderful time.

Scott Family

Man, it feels strange to be posting about this little family.  Even though they are amazingly cute, to me I still see the little boy I taught back in 4th grade.  It was my first year of teaching.  I was so excited to be there, everything was new and fresh. Then I started to figure...

Lilly – 2 years

Lilly and her family drove all the way from Yukon to meet up with me at the Santa Fe Train Depot in Shawnee.  We all knew she’d get a kick out of seeing the train cars and the backgrounds are perfect for a few family photos, too.  It wasn’t exactly a “perfect” day.  It was...

December 9, 2009 - 7:10 pm Lindsey - Thanks for posting Shannon. That dang wind sure is bad on the hair. I guess I should have sprayed Lillys hair down with a lot of hair spray!!

December 9, 2009 - 8:18 pm Lora Samarripas - Those are SOOOO cute! I love the backgrounds with the stone and doors!

December 10, 2009 - 8:54 am Amy Precure - Lilly is adorable and she did good given the weather and the wind!!! I love the doorway pic and the first one, looks like a mini me Lindsey!

Swartzbaugh Family

I made the trek to Guthrie to hook up with the Swartzbaugh family, and I’m glad I did.  Sometimes, it gets so tiring shooting at the same locations all the time.  I love it when a client calls and already has a great spot in mind.  It’s so much fun and refreshing to shoot in...

December 7, 2009 - 10:16 am Jamie Swartzbaugh - The pictures are great Shannon. You made it alot of fun for us even though we were freezing. I really love the colors in the pics & the black & whites of the kids!

December 8, 2009 - 4:46 pm Vangie Goddard - Jamie! I'm so proud of you for finally getting some recent family pictures! They're awesome! Of course, I'm partial to the location choice. Shannon, get ready for another trip to Guthrie when it warms up a little.

December 9, 2009 - 4:32 pm mollie swartzbaugh - The pictures turned out awesome, and even though I was going to freeze I had a ton of fun taking them! Thanks alot!

Who Needs Toys?

Look closely in that last one.  There are THREE puppies.  Do you see her?
Who would’ve thought that a handful of pups and a pile of leaves could be so entertaining…
Even poor Zipper got in on the action.  The only problem was instead of being a dog she was given the part of a horse.  ...
