Photography for families who want to remember the feeling, not just the photo.

I’ll gently guide you, but mostly, I’m there to notice the way your little one looks up at you, the laughter that fills the pauses, and the love that lives in the small moments. I’m there to capture all those memories for you.

MORE ABOUT ME
  • A family of three outdoors during fall is pictured. The father, with a beard and wearing a dark sweater, is holding a young child with fair hair, wearing a plaid jacket. The mother, with long wavy blonde hair and wearing a brown dress, is smiling and touching the child's leg.

    "We LOVED our family photo session with Shanlee. From the point of booking, she was communicative, professional and so friendly. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed during the session and caught beautiful candid moments of our family, which was exactly what we were looking for! The photos were edited to perfection, and we can't wait to display them in our home and share them with our family. We will most certainly be asking Shanlee to continue taking our family photos from now on!"
