About Me

Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m the one behind the camera. I specialize in beautiful, natural, and creative, wedding, portrait, and commercial photography. I am based in the United States, but will happily work all over the world. 

I’m originally from the foothills of The White Mountains, in a small town of New Hampshire. I consider myself a New England, East Coast gal. Currently, I am home in Ericeira, Portugal but spend part of the year back in the states. I am happily an expat living with my husband, baby girl and my stoic cutie of a dog Bordeaux. 

An outdoors girl at heart, you can find me in cut-off jeans roaming the beach, sailing or playing in the dirt, planting my garden. I am happy to stop by the local brewery and meet friends, or go to a wine tasting in the hills of Provence, France, whichever you prefer!  Though I do love indulging myself in a charcuterie plate, a good glass of wine, and a movie night! Over the many years of watching The Sound of Music, I know the songs too well, I take a break from reality watching Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, ad Harry Potter, and don’t even get me started with pretty much ALL the Pixar animated movies for kids. 

My greatest love is my family time and traveling the world. I grew up reading and flipping through design AD books along with my fathers monthly subscription to National Geographic. I was so incredibly moved by National Geographic magazines. I knew after looking through my first one, that I was forever changed and was determined to create a life of knowing other microcosmos of worlds other than my own (and also photographing them). Europe is our place! And we try to split our time between the states and EVERYWHERE Europe. My family and I now reside in Portugal.

How I Work

Since I have started photographing families, couples weddings, and furry loved ones… Well over 100 couples have trusted me to capture their special day. Along with countless families on the beach or in the park for family portraits. 

I know the makings of a wedding, where to be at the right times, and how the day flows. I know when to be a fly on the wall and discretely capture that special moment in time, and when to step up to get those photos that are needed. I am friendly and kind, and know-how to help you keep calm when things get a little hectic. 

Through my images, I love to tell stories with natural beautiful light and photography. I have been known to be obsessed with sunrises and sunsets…but what photographer isn’t? Any beautiful light mesmerizes  me and I get in the photography shooting zone. 

Along with capturing the big moments of the day, I am always looking for small intimate moments that are a major remembrance of your big day. This can also be said for my family sessions as well. 

What about your wedding? Your engagement? Or a simple Portrait session? Wherever it is, whatever you choose to do, it will be uniquely yours. It will be a celebration of love, laughter, happy tears (hopefully), and little clips in time that I will capture and you will have as a forever keepsake.

If you think we would be a great fit and you would like me to capture your  family, wedding, engagement, or just do some portraits, I would love to hear from you and listen to what you would like.
