I’ve worked with Shannon for many years and quite honestly wouldn’t work with any other photographer! Shannon is a natural and is able to capture my brand’s essence beautifully. She’s taken beautiful action shots, headshots, lifestyle shots, and incredible food photography for me over the years and I cannot express how pleased and happy I am with every shoot! She’s also lovely to be around and work with! I highly highly recommend!
