Orange County & Los Angeles family photographer

Artful family photography celebrating the everyday

“She sees the mundane and shows its beauty. The final photographs were journalistic, beautiful, and genuine.”

- Leilani M.

Your everyday life is art (trust me)

Morning pancakes at the kitchen table.

Couch cuddles you’ve done a thousand times.

Playing in the dirt while you tend the garden.

Dance parties when everyone’s a little stir crazy.

The way you hold her while she naps.

How This Works

I want to learn all about you and your family so we can plan to capture what you love most about this season. Fill out my contact form to get the process started!

We will do this together: I will guide you through choosing clothing, an activity, and getting everyone prepped in the best way possible.

PLAN YOUR SESSION

This is my favorite part: being present in your home as you do your life together. Deep breaths all around, everyone gets nervous and then tells me afterward it was nothing to be nervous about.

Best Mail Day Ever

I’ll send over your gallery of images and you’ll get to choose the photos you want to print as artwork for your home.

Let’s freeze time.

Hi, I’m Shannon—I offer maternity, newborn, and family photo sessions that capture what’s most meaningful to you about your current season. These unfussy sessions happen in your home—I enter with you into your everyday routine and get to see and celebrate what makes your family unique. Whether you are doing this alone or with a partner, whether you are waiting for a tiny newborn or have a house full of kids, your family’s connection is sacred. I would love to help you celebrate it.

Things you don’t have to worry about:

Don’t worry if your house isn’t perfect,
I focus on the people not the stuff. 

Don’t worry about meltdowns, we will let kids be kids (and still get great photos).

Don’t worry about coordinated outfits, it’s better to wear what makes you feel most like yourself. 

Don’t worry about posing, what do you like to do together? Let’s capture that.
