Throwback Portrait Photoshoot!

Hello friends,


Happy Monday! I’m starting the week off by sharing one of my favorite portrait photoshoots from last year. Okay, I love every photoshoot we do so call me biased.


This beautiful lady reached out to me to celebrate herself and her hard work in college. She is doing some incredible things in the medical community and loved hearing all about her schooling and what she was doing in her next chapter in life.


During her session, we really had a blast and laughed… a lot! It really was the most amazing energy that day!

Her image reveal was just as special and same amazing energy. She purchased prints, wall art, and digitals to enjoy her images everyday!

I cannot wait until her next session. Here is her testimonial about her photoshoot experience :


“Working with Shannon was such an incredible, heartwarming experience! Just looking at her portfolio photos, it’s easy to see how talented of an artist she is, but behind the scenes, Shannon also provides unparalleled warmth, comfort, and guidance to her clients during their shoots. It is her words and energy that let you know you’re in a safe, body-affirming space—one that makes you feel strong and beautiful. To say the least, I’m thrilled to have worked with Shannon and am already planning our next session!”


Until next time,

Shannon

Studio Wardrobe

Hello friends,

One frequently asked question I get from clients is, “What do I do for wardrobe?! What do I wear?”

It definitely can feel super stressful to decide what to bring in for your photoshoot but that’s where I come in!

First, during your consultation, I go over all of the details on what I best to bring for your photoshoot. Plus, you don’t have to go spend a lot of money. We also have a second wardrobe consultation to go over more details on what you have to bring.

The best part is there is an extensive studio wardrobe for clients to use for their session. If you want to go glam, I have gowns, long dresses, full tulle robes, and many things with sequins to give that luxe touch to your session. There are also tons of lingerie, corsets, bodysuits to name a few options (I’m personally a fan of vintage lingerie so there is a lot of that in the wardrobe). There are also a few more daring pieces with leather and lace.

For this blog post, I wanted to share a few client favorites and a sneak peek of a few of the items in the studio wardrobe. I definitely plan on doing an extensive catalog of the pieces in the future!


Until next time,

Shannon

Personal Branding for The Art of Beauty Boutique

I’m super excited to kick off 2022 with more Personal Branding photoshoots!

For this session I got to work with the wonderful Katie and her team at The Art of Beauty Boutique. Incredible team of lash artists, skin experts, aesthetic injector, and so much more!

When Katie and myself were discussing what she wanted for her own images from the photoshoot, she wanted classic, modern, and definitely sophisticated.

The session day started with makeup and hair by the head studio artist, Noelle. Something that is very important in all sessions are the conversations with hair and makeup. Even with the full glam style we do for the clients, we want them to walk away feeling like themselves. This is super important for Personal Branding sessions because this is YOU and your business and should reflect that!

The same goes for wardrobe discussions and I help with that and styling along the way. Even when the team arrived we made sure their looks were cohesive together for the look of the brand.
