Family Photos
I had such a wonderful experience with Shawna for my portraits. She instantly made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, guiding me with natural poses while still letting my personality shine through. The way she used lighting and angles really brought out the best in each shot, and I never once felt rushed or awkward.

Be Ready to Cry
A one-of-a-kind soul behind the lens! Shawna is truly something special. She brings the sweetest energy to every shoot , but don’t be fooled, when she’s in her groove, it’s all business (in the best way)! Her passion and eye for detail are unmatched. The moment you open your gallery, be ready to cry… every single time. Her photos don’t just capture moments, they capture magic. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your memories with heart and artistry, look no further. Can’t recommend her enough. 💛📸

Such an Honor!
Shawna is not only a talented photographer but also a close member of my family, which makes her work even more special to me. Having seen her journey up close, I know how much passion, creativity, and dedication she put into every photo. Shawna has a natural gift for capturing emotions, details, and moments that truly matter, turning them into memories you can hold onto forever. Shawna’s work doesn’t just show skill, it shows heart. Every photo reflects the care she has for the people she photographs, and I feel lucky to have someone so gifted in my own family.
