We cannot recommend Wood and Lace more. Shannon has quickly become our family photographer and with reason. Her talent is remarkable for finding great shots that turn out better than expected on "film". She is a joy to work with and is excellent at directing while not being pushy. We can't wait to work with her to capture our growing family again soon.

If I could give Shannon 10 stars, I would! She is a true professional and a master at her craft. You can expect a fun and efficient photo session with her, as well as friendly coaching along the way (trust me...take her coaching notes)! My husband and I used her for our maternity pictures and with confidence can say we will be returning many more times.

We had our first official family photos taken. I was worried about how they would turn out, but Shannon was phenomenal! She was patient with the kids and had creative ways of making us smile! She was not afraid to get dirty to get a good shot either! I can't wait to do it again!

Shannon did an amazing job! Our pictures turned out perfect. We added an extra person last minute so it was kind of a curve ball, but she was creative and worked it out perfectly. We had plenty of cute pictures to choose from!! Would definitely recommend to everyone

Shannon was amazing ! So easy to work with and very patient with my two kiddos. Having a in home session was so fun and relaxing. We had everything we needed right here in our own home and that made taking pictures with two small children a stress free experience. I will definitely schedule our next session with her!
