you can call me shannon

I’ve always moved through the world with quiet intensity.
I notice the way someone’s breath slows when they feel safe. How light softens across a room like an exhale. I notice the moments most people overlook — the ones that say more than any posed smile ever could.

I’m based in the Pocono Mountains and Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania — a place that’s taught me to pay attention. To the hush before golden hour. To fog rolling over the hills. To how people open up when they know they’re in good hands. That’s the energy I bring to every session.

I picked up a camera when I was three and never put it down. Not because I dreamed of being a photographer, but because I needed a way to hold onto things. To make sense of the swirl of feeling, memory, and time. That pull to document the truth has never left me.

I’m a quiet observer, but I’m not just standing in the corner. I move with intention. I’ll guide you toward the light when it matters. I’ll adjust a frame when it will give you an image worth keeping forever. But mostly, I’ll watch. I’ll wait. I’ll be ready for the unplanned, unpolished moments that make your story yours.

This work isn’t about creating a highlight reel. It’s about witnessing people in their fullness — the complexity, the tenderness, the mess, the magic. I don’t chase the perfect shot. I stay with the honest one. The one where your shoulders drop and you finally let yourself just be.

I believe photography can be a kind of homecoming.
A way to feel seen in all the ways you didn’t know you needed. That’s what I offer. Not just images — but space. To be known, to be felt, to be remembered.
