It is my passion as an artist and storyteller to create imagery that is joyful, romantic, authentic and  beautiful.

I want to capture each and every client as they are, showcasing their love story. After shooting 100’s of weddings and serving this industry for over 13 years, I’ve learned more than anything how a day needs to be ran. Working with you and your planner on the timeline, has been one of the biggest benefits to my clients. Not only will you know where you need to be, when you need to be, together we are there to guide you. I want my clients to be able to fully have trust in me. I am not just your photographer, I am your advocate and friend.

Shanell is truly the best of the BEST!! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Shanell for our wedding and engagement photos. Shanell made us feel comfortable and with her great sense of humor she was able to capture true and natural pictures. She made our special day so stress free. As a bride, I had no worries. Looking through our wedding pictures she captured every aspect of our day, leaving no details out. We will cherish these photos forever, and cannot wait to get them on our wall! Shanell was a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to using her in the future!

WORD ON THE STREET

Growing up, my grandmother was always the "picture person" and moments documentor. I remember growing up and loving looking through all the albums she had created for our family. The albums were on bookshelf organized by years full of images to enjoy! 
This still resonates with me and is why I feel so passionate about what I do for couples and families. My heart is so filled when I capture memories for others the way my grandmother was able to do for our family
