I am excited to announce that I am taking a giant leap and pursuing my photography work full time! It's been almost six years since I started this journey, and I've been looking back through my folders of weddings, families, babies...so many happy memories that have kept driving me forward to this point. I'm thankful for everyone I've had the opportunity to work with, and am excited with anticipation of what's to come!

I have always felt the pull to pursue the work that I love, that not only fulfills my creative heart, but puts something good out into the world. It has always been about making beautiful photographs that can be passed down and treasured for generations. It has always been about connecting closely with the people I work with. It's always been about celebrating love, family, relationships, joy and sorrow, friendship and individual stories of strength. It has always been about creating images that are honest, emotional, and heartfelt.

Thank you for being here, and for your continued support. It truly means the world to me.

Cheers,

Shannon

I wanted to share a few photos from my dear friend Katie's wedding at the Roger Williams Botanical Center. I was so blown away by her wedding and this location. It was so unique and naturally gorgeous. Katie is such a green thumb, I've always admired her ability to keep so many plants inside her house alive, while I have trouble keeping a cactus alive due to overwatering.

I'll let that sink in for a minute.

Katie and Dave got married on a gorgeous September evening, and the colors just seemed to glow under the sunlight coming through the glass walls and ceiling. It was a laid back, fun wedding - the way a wedding should be! Great food, fun music, and you could really see Katie's love of botanicals in all of the details. The bouquets alone were a work of art.

I was not the photographer for this wedding, I was just a guest, so there were my snaps for fun throughout the evening. It was such a great day, I wanted to share some of the beauty of it with you!

I seriously hope I get to shoot a wedding here someday. It's such a hidden gem!
