Campbell Loves Crayons…

While spending the day with her family last week, I was able to snap a few shots of Campbell as she was doing one of her favorite activities.  Coloring.
She was so intense.  It got me to thinking…
I still LOVE to color.  In fact, I encourage my boys to color ALL THE TIME, but they get...

Harper • 4 days

Meet Harper.

She’s the newest addition to one of my favorite families, and she’s perfect in every way – 10 fingers, 10 toes.
I’m pretty sure she’ll be spoiled before the week is up…but that’s just speculation.
I spent three hours getting to know this little gal, and she spent three hours getting to know me.  I guess...

Moore Family

Yep, you’ve seen this crew before.  They’ve graced the blog numerous times and haven’t let me down yet.  They always have a great attitude during our sessions which happens to produce awesome photos.  They have fun!  Usually, we head somewhere near OKC, but this time they wanted to try the train depot.  They even brought...

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.

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!

Rainy Day Blues? NEVER!

I now have absolute proof the weather doesn’t make or break a family photo session…
Sometimes, when you have no other choice, you simply MAKE it work.  This past weekend was a prime example of that.  AND, I’m happy to say, it did work out.
So, for those of you who think it’s too cold in December...

Holloway Family

Prepare yourself for a LONG post.  I had much too hard a time narrowing these down for the blog.  Therefore, you get a TON of sneak peek photos, Holloway family.
I’ve been photographing this family every year around the same time for quite a while now.  I’ve gotten to see the kiddos grow, and grow, and...
