Griffith Observatory | Los Angeles Family Portrait Photographer
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

Home for the Holidays – Brentwood Family Portrait Photography
Home shoots are the best! And yes, this is winter in California…you can wear shorts and dresses…why would anyone leave? (see writing at end of post)
Anyhoos, here are some of my favorite shots from last weekend. These kiddos were so much fun to chase and play around with!
Brooklyn is calling! I will be in New York from the end of January until April. Trading this temperate California winter for an icebox, am I nuts? Will I survive? Only time will tell…
Send your NY friends my way, snow photo shoots await!

Green Thunder – Soccer Game Photography in Los Angeles
This was my first time capturing a soccer game and I absolutely loved it! The intensity and focus of these girls was so inspiring, it reminded me of my soccer days and that one time I was hit so hard in the face by the ball that I thought my nose didn’t exist anymore. Luckily everyone kept their noses in this game.
So much love :)

Halloween Jack – Kids’ Birthday Party Photography in Santa Monica
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!

Happy Mother’s Day!
That’s me and my mom below! Yes I was born a red head and yes my mother is gorgeous. I am so thankful to have such a strong, talented, rambunctious, loving woman as a mother.
I wanted to put together a collection of mothers I have shot throughout the years for this special Sunday. Enjoy and HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
