That first kiss on your wedding day will turn into the first kiss on your newborn baby's cheeks. And those tiny baby toes that you'll spend hours wondering how something could be so small, they'll transform into toddler feet that will carry your curious kid throughout this world. Then, in a few years, you've got a rebellious teenager on your hands questioning if their parents are cool or not. And boom, flash-forward ten more years, and you'll find yourself already planning your baby's wedding.
I wish I could slow down time for all of us, but I can't. Instead, I can do the next best thing. I can help you preserve all these moments that matter most. As a lifetime photographer, I am in the art of helping people remember.
From the big breath you take before you walk down the aisle to those first few weeks when you bring your baby home, I'll help you document all the feelings that come with growing up.
Hey, hi, howdy!
I'm a California kid, born and raised. I'm a little obsessed with my hometown. The Bay is filled with some of the most beautiful landscapes and even cooler people. It's such a privilege to be able to do life here with my husband Joel and our pup Churro. And truly, nothing brings me more joy than showing off the Bay to clients.
Engagements, weddings, new babies, new homes, added fur babies—these are the photo-worthy celebrations. The moments that you'll want to remember forever. I love being a photographer because I get to be a witness to some of the most cherished moments in people's lives. How freaking cool is it that I get to help preserve your memories for generations to come?
I'm Shannon.

"Shannon took photos of my now husband and me downtown San Jose, and we ABSOLUTELY loved them. They came out so beautiful. We actually used them for our engagement cards. She was super professional and made you feel instantly comfortable. She posed for us and made the whole experience so much fun. Super talented. We love Shannon and would recommend her to everyone! She's an amazing photographer."

Shannon was incredible! She helped us choose the perfect proposal location and made the moment unforgettable. She didn't rush us afterward, allowing us to savor the moment. The final photos were delivered promptly and are so beautiful that I'm running out of wall space in my apartment. Having a photographer who not only understands but also brings your vision to life is truly special. I highly recommend her!
