Photo shoots are not my favorite but Shawna made the whole experience a fun and pleasant one. She was a wizard at finding out how to stamp out my fake, weird smile and replace it with a great, natural look that I needed for my business use. My photos are timeless and beautifully set, something I'll be able to use well into the future. Thanks Shawna!!

Shawna is amazing! Very attentive and kind. She took a nervous teenage who was worried about how her photos turned out and made her comfortable...the photos were spectacular. I will definitely use her again.

Shawna is personable, attentive and above all talented. She made the three location, outdoor shoot of our 12yo easy and fun. He had a great time, the smiles came naturally. Her eye for locations, their shadows/light, colors and architecture make the final images just outstanding! She is flexible and experienced, and her technology makes scheduling fast and easy. I don't think I can write a review to do her services justice. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words..."
You won't be disappointed.

Shawna is professional and a very talented photographer. When it comes to senior portraits she absolutely shines. Her heart for the students is evident in every step of the process. She captured each of my boys uniquely and beautifully.

Shawna was so wonderful to work with! She planned perfectly to get the best light for our pictures. She spent time entertaining our two young daughters in between shots to get them to smile and play. She was comfortable to be around and really captured the vision I wanted for our family pictures. We will definitely be using her again in the future!

We had an incredible experience with Shawna. She was professional and fun to work with from start to finish. I can't say enough about the beautiful graduate photos she took of my daughter. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a professional photographer.
