About ME
Hello! I’m Shannon, a natural light photographer located in Denver, Colorado specializing in Children & Families, Maternity and Newborn. I’ve spent the last 12 years capturing momentous milestones, documenting growing families and recording the everlasting bond of mother and child. I have a laid back approach with the ability to connect with each family member. My goal is to effectively guide you in order to capture those fun, relaxed, tender moments that you so badly want to hold onto. My heart is drawn to soft muted tones, neutrals and feminine textures, which allows the images to exude emotion and connection. I offer a high end unique experience focused on making the entire process smooth, straight forward & seamless.
How is it already August?! Where has the time gone? I`m sure all my fellow parents are wondering the same thing.
This summer has been a whirlwind in the best way. Between photographing so many wonderful families, soaking up time with my kids while they`re home from school, and traveling to Florida, New York, and Seattle, it`s flown by.
Now I`m ready for cozy evenings, golden light, and all things fall.
If you`ve been thinking about booking your family photos, now is the time! Fall is my busiest season, and many of my weekend dates are already spoken for. I`d love to help you capture this season before it slips away.
Send me a DM or text me ASAP, and let`s find the perfect date for your family`s session.

If you`ve been considering a third... this is your ✨ sign ✨
I know adding another little one can feel overwhelming, but watching your family grow is one of the sweetest things to witness. Every new baby brings a whole new dynamic, and somehow there`s always enough love to go around.
I absolutely love photographing families of every size—from first-time parents to families with four, five, or more little ones. Every chapter deserves to be remembered.

Do you display more color photos or black & white photos in your home?
I absolutely adore this image in both! Black and white has a timeless, emotional feel, while color captures every beautiful detail. That`s why every session includes a selection of images professionally converted to black and white, so you don`t have to choose.
If you`re looking for a Denver family photographer, Denver maternity photographer, or Denver newborn photographer, I`d love to create images you`ll love displaying in your home for years to come.

In-studio newborn sessions are some of my favorites. I love getting to meet your newest little one and seeing all the love that already surrounds them.
This sweet family brought Grandma and Grandpa along, and I loved getting to capture those moments too. One of my favorite things about newborn sessions is that they don`t have to be just about mom, dad, and baby. If there are grandparents, siblings, or anyone else who is a special part of this season, they`re always welcome to join in.
These first few weeks go by so quickly, and having everyone together in photos makes them that much more meaningful.

My Garden Mini Sessions are in full swing, and I have been absolutely loving every session here this year.
The sunsets at this location are simply unbeatable, and one of my favorite things about it is how much variety it offers. From lush greenery to dreamy golden light, we can capture so many different looks without ever leaving the same spot.
If you`ve been thinking about updating your family photos, maternity portraits, or documenting this season of life, I`d love to see you here. Reach out to schedule your session before the season comes to an end!
