I'm Shannon. A photographer and mom of three teenage daughters and live in the Essa area. I specialize in portraits of all kinds - from babies, family to moms in business. Being a mom and business owner myself, I have a special love of photographing women and their families. I would love to create images that emphasize the love shared within your family and to transform them into pieces that you can proudly display and show off in your home for you and your family to enjoy for a lifetime.
"Your moments are meant to be printed, displayed and loved. It's what your great grandchildren will have to remember you."

In 2020, I followed a Boston based photographer who began an incredible fundraising initiative called The Front Steps Project, where she photographed local families during the Covid 19 closures. It quickly spread like wildfire and I decided to bring this initiative to my Barrie community.
I photographed over 85 families within the month and raised approximately $3500 for the local Barrie Foodbank. Check out the article on Simcoe.com!
