CINEMATIC 

STORYTELLER FOR

NON-TRADITIONAL SOULS

I'm here to create imagery for the nontraditional souls; the ones who crave something intimate, honest, and deeply heart-driven. For the lovers who want their memories to feel as real decades from now as they do today.

Together, we’ll dream up something incredible. Something artistic, intentional, and a little out of this world.

Let’s make magic — something special that feels just like you.

MEET SHAWNA

Lover of human connection

 Cultivating connection is the foundation of everything that I do as an artist. By the time our session rolls around, the groundwork will have been laid to create a comfortable, safe, and calm environment for you to be your authentic self. I love to know the “why”, and desire a deep connection with those who create with me, so I’ll be asking many questions along the way, diving deeper than just photography. Developing that relationship in turn allows for authentic artistry to exist on my end, and the freedom to exist as yourself on your end. That’s how we create together. By nature, I want to provide a calming, knowledgeable presence on the most important days of your life. Above all, know that you are accepted and honored within this space, no matter the story.

"Shawna's work pure magic! She is *the best* at authentic candid captures. We hired her to photograph our wedding and I knew from the moment I saw her work that she was the photographer I wanted to capture such a special day in my life. Her presence is grounding and kind. She has a really special way of providing the space for you to just, be yourself... and that's a gift."

"Shawna is amazing!! We hired her for our wedding and engagement shoot. When I say the engagement shoot was amazing, it doesn’t even do it justice. She came with a custom play list for us. I was pretty nervous to be in front of the camera but she hyped me up I felt so confident — truly I could cry thinking about how amazing I felt that day. It has gotten me so excited for the wedding and I am planning to hire Shawna for every event I need a photographer."

"Shawna did our engagement session and everyone was obsessed with our photos! For our wedding she went above and beyond and truly captured all the best moments! Her photos are more then perfectly posed portraits, she truly captures the moments you want to look back on, and looking at my pictures I always feel the joy of that incredibly perfect day thanks to her."
