I got to shoot with these tattooed beauties a couple weeks ago. They had just returned from driving across country working as elves for the holidays (that sentence pretty much tells you how amazing they are) and threw their clothes in a suitcase to come shoot with me! These guys are serious rockstars – that will be the most obvious statement ever after you see the photos below.
Happy holidays to all!

I’ve shot with these lovelies for years and every shoot day has been filled with bright blue skies and perfect weather. Last week we met up at the Griffith Observatory to TOTAL cloud coverage…but we embraced it! Why not something new, eh? Playing in the clouds turned out pretty amazing if you ask me…
This might be my last blog post for a bit, holidays and travel plans soon to come.
I will be in Brooklyn next year from the end of January to the end of April, message me to set up a snow shoot! Or if you have any tips for surviving winter in NYC!
Lots of love,
Shannon

Get ready for some ridiculously fashionable suspenders, girls disappearing in orange trees, and adorable moments backed by yellow leaves. Ready? GO!
And it ended like all great shoots end…..nap time.
Contact me to set up a shoot for yourself!

I have been photographing Jack since he was a wee baby (and his family years before he came into existence). Now he is 4…I think the world is stuck on fast forward.
Anyhoos…I am terrible at dressing up for Halloween, please send your costume ideas my way. I’m pathetic, one year I dressed all in green and said I was a chia pet. Another year I dressed in pj’s and said I was “nighttime Shannon”.
These kids know how to do it right…here are the Halloween shenanigans!
Fin!
I’ll be in Denver for the next week to visit one of my favorite people. See you all in November!

Color photographs are my first love. I thought the more saturated the better. BUT. Lately black and whites have been sweeping me off my feet…

Yes, this eerie desert oasis of color and spiritual passion does exist…and it’s only a 3 hour drive from Los Angeles. Summer road trip material at it’s finest! Take a look at the official website for more information about this heavenly themed Candyland and the creator.
