"The photos from my daughter's senior session took my break away. My daughter had a unique vision, and not only did Shannon honor her vision, she brought it to life in the most beautiful way. From listening intently to her ideas, risking her camera gear to stand in the St. Croix river to get the perfect shots, to supplying a popup tent to accommodate three wardrobe changes, Shannon made the whole process exciting and fun.
The photos are incredible - the stars undoubtedly aligned for their collaboration. What resulted was nothing short of magic. Thank you Shannon for honoring my daughter's vision, and not just taking her photos, but for capturing her soul!"
