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.

Bonnie, one HOT mama!

Bonnie is one of my recent winners in the Beautiful Women contest I held not too long ago.  You can read her nomination letter (by her daughter) here.
Bonnie is proof that beauty comes at EVERY age.  She is awesome and inspiring and her smile is magical.  She lit up the alleyways as we did her...

November 8, 2009 - 10:02 pm Bonnie Bower - Shannon, you totally made me feel like a movie star or something. I'll probably never get to do anything like this again. At first I was self conscious, but you had me loose up in no time. You even made my wrinkles look good! I can't wait to see all the pics. Thanks for everything! Bonnie B.

Tesio Family

It’s been another year and the Tesio crew is back for more.  This time they’re looking as good as ever!
Our session day was a tiny bit (to say the VERY least) chilly, but somehow, amidst all the teeth chattering, we were able to grab some GREAT shots!  Here are my favorites!
This one looks just like...

November 4, 2009 - 9:12 pm Bonnie Bower - Shannon--we had such a great time at the "family foto shoot" with Lindsay and her kids. I can't thank you enough for the mother's day prize. It was really special. I haven't seen my pics yet, but just love the ones of Lindsay and fam. Thank you, Thank you for such a fun time. Bonnie

Dewey Family

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve gone missing for a couple of days.  Wes and I have been hit with the “swine” flu bug and things have not been fun around here since Saturday.  So, “un-fun” that we actually decided NOT to go trick-or-treating on Saturday!   Instead, we spent the evening at Grandma’s house. ...

Sutton

For the past couple of days, I’ve been blogging a WHOLE LOT because of the mini-sessions from last weekend.  I love mini-sessions!  They are so easy to proof (less photos) and due to the short amount of time the kids stay happy, the parents (mostly dad) stay happy, and I’m forced to work extra hard...

Russell & Robin ● 20 years

This awesome couple was referred to me through another client of mine (Russell’s brother) and I’m so glad they decided to make the call.  As it turned out, I’d had a last-minute cancellation which provided an opening the very next day.  Otherwise, they would’ve had to wait until December!  I couldn’t believe it when they...

Hanke Family

This was the first time I’d ever met the Hanke family.  I knew from emails back and forth they would be a super cool family and I was right.  I loved them right away!
AND, the best part was they brought a little help with them.  I love it when families bring a sister or grandma...

October 28, 2009 - 4:21 pm Ashley - I am in love with this little girl! I think maybe she reminds me of Emmerson. She is so stinkin cute!

Tanner – Senior 2010

Yes, another “cowboy”.
The truth is I know this cowboy pretty darn well, and he’s not really a cowboy.  He does sport this hat regularly, but last time I checked he wasn’t wrangling cows or anything of the sort (maybe wrangling girls, does that count?).  Still, he’s cute all the same.  AND he’s lucky, because he...
