Christine and Lawrence are two of the sweetest parents I’ve had the joy of getting to know. They warmly welcomed me into their beautiful South Bay home to capture photos of their newest family member, baby Leo.

I know their journey to parenthood came with its challenges, which made documenting this moment all the more meaningful. Leo, as you grow up, I hope you always know how deeply wanted and loved you are.

Alongside the newest addition, I also got to photograph Leo’s furry big brothers — and you know I love when pets get in on the family photos!

The biggest congratulations to Christine and Lawrence. Leo is so lucky to have you both.

"Shannon is the only photographer we use. She captured my daughter’s newborn photos when I was still recovering, and they turned out stunning. Now she takes our family photos every year, and I can’t recommend her enough. Her work truly reflects who we are, and looking back at the photos always brings joy."
