Welcome to my Blog!

Hey there! I'm Shannon, a portrait and wedding photographer in Southern California, based out of Chino Hills. My style is less posed, more candid, and my photos are fun, fresh and bright.  My main goal is make you look beautiful! I'm not one of those studio photographers...I use primarily natural light when at all possible.

This is where I showcase everything from recent photo sessions to what's going on in my life with me and my two super silly daughters, Cameron and Taylor.


Erika’s Belly

At the end of October, I got to see a previous client, her gorgeous son Jonah (who I’ve photographed before), I met her husband for the first time, and photographed her belly that’s holding her soon-to-be daughter Paloma!  Whew.  We had a blast cruising around downtown Fullerton.  Jonah was a total ham and flirting all day.  Erika has the cutest, most perfect belly.  Erika, if you’re reading this…have a great delivery (well as great as a delivery can go) and hope to see you all soon!

Pilliter Family

On of the perks of my job…I got to photograph this handsome daddy and his cute boys around downtown Riverside!  How lucky am I?  :)

Thank goodness my girls were with me on this session to help get the attention of the little guys.  Although bunny ears can only be funny for so long!!

Enjoy…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Clients: I will be out of the office for the holiday week starting today through Friday.

And I’m also one lucky girl because I’m being whisked away to Napa for the long weekend. (Yipee!!)

I will try my best to return emails and messages during this week, but will not be editing sessions.

Thank you and see you next week!

Happy Thanksgiving.

Baker Family

The FABULOUS Baker family is baaaaack!!

I love love love this family!!  They are one of my longest and most loyal clients – and whom I now am lucky enough to refer to as friends.  I’ll keep this brief because I know Glenda is waiting (im)patiently to see these photos!!

We had so much fun walking around Downtown Fullerton with them and their adorable kids.  My how they’ve grown.

Farrish Family

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing one of my past clients – and former work colleagues – again this year.  Grandpa even flew in from out of state and was included.  The girls are getting bigger and more gorgeous by the year, and are starting modeling.  Their home is so fun to explore around for photos – with the greatest front yard details, a cute little hallway on the way down to a grassy park area.  Just charming.

Enjoy!

Paz Family | Downtown Los Angeles

My annual (except last year) session with the Paz family!!  Yipee.  Love this family and and love that they picked downtown LA for their session.  I can always count on them to be one of my early holiday session clients.

Stay tuned…I got more family sessions and a belly session coming up!

Enjoy…

St. Regis Monarch Beach | Family Session

Every couple years, this entire family gets together for family photos and this is now the second time I’ve photographed the big group.  Amy’s family lives here in Southern California, but her brother’s family flew out from the Washington DC area and they all stayed at the gorgeous St. Regis Monarch Beach.  My girls even got to tag along to this session – which is one of their favorite things to do.
