Barbara + James :: Elizabeth Park West Hartford Connecticut Engagement Photography

Shannon Sorensen March 2, 2017

These dear ones are set to get married in early May up in Massachusetts, where I will gladly put on my wedding guest hat and dance my post-baby booty off. But first, let me share my favorites from their Elizabeth Park engagement session in West Hartford. Barbara has been a dear friend since the summer of 2001, the same summer I met Sean, and I am so thankful I can call her a friend. She and James are so sweet and funny and natural together, which made our time hanging out doing photos super easy for me.

Go over there and snuggle? No problem.

Twirl her around and make her laugh that big Barbara laugh. Got it. 

Look at each other like you simply adore each other. Oh, you're already doing that. Yay!

I was pumped to spend a beautiful September day with them at one of my favorite local parks. Even though it was technically fall, the air was warm, the sun was golden and there were still gorgeous blooms everywhere we turned. I swear, this park is magic.

Welcome!

I’m Shannon, a local Connecticut artist specializing in modern abstract realism & expressionist art.

I have a passion for helping others to see the creative potential in themselves, and empowering them to explore & enjoy it.

When I’m not painting, parenting, or working at preschool, you can find me gardening, reading past my bedtime, spending time outdoors, and playing in my at-home art space.

This space is for sharing my latest paintings, projects, studio updates, and thoughts about creative living.

Get a glimpse at my day-to-day over on socials!

If you enjoy my art & writing, you can show your appreciation & buy me a coffee on Venmo - @shannonsart. Thank you!


Earth without art is just eh.

Every order through my art shop plants a tree in areas in need of reforestation. So far, since 2020, we’ve planted 111 trees in North America.

You can plant your first tree for free, and learn more at www.OneTreePlanted.org.
