i'm shannen
I absolutely love a good sunrise or sunset, baskets of puppies, jamming out in the car – probably way off key, unique looking trees, brownie batter, Hawaii Five-0, spontaneous adventures, and British television shows. I laugh too loud – a lot – and cry during movies – happy or sad.
OH! And I’m obsessed with finding cute little coffee shops that make THE BEST caramel cappuccino with almond milk. (If you know of any, tell me, because I want to try them all!)

hiya friends
I have loved telling stories for as long as I can remember. From filming “movies”
on our old camcorder with my siblings to anonymously writing poetry on
tumblr, stories have been at the heart of everything I do. Maybe that's
why I have always been so drawn to photography.
Photography to me is about so much more than snapping a picture - it's telling
a story. YOUR story. If you’re looking for a photographer as just someone with
a camera and nothing else to offer, I am sorry that is not me.
Absolutely anyone can point a camera in your face and snap
pictures. I want to get to know you like we've been best
friends since kindergarten. Hear all the quirky things that
make you the amazing person you are.
Stories are like polaroids - beautiful, magical, real, impossible, instant. They should capture every little piece, so that when you are old and wrinkled you can look back and remember why you have made it so far. Whether it's a first birthday, your high school graduation, starting a life together, or the 50th year since your "I dos," every chapter of your story is worth documenting. Whatever the occasion, I'll capture your moment so you don't have to. You can enjoy your life without having to worry about documenting the moments you should be experiencing.
a storyteller at heart
Tell me your story
and all the juicy details

want to get coffee?
I’m a Northwest Ohio based adventure and lifestyle photographer. I'm always down to sip lattes and get to know each other better. If coffee isn't your thing, that's cool too! We can hike a mountain or get dinner. I'm a romantic (shout out to my enneagram fours!) and a dreamer and super awkward. If you like snuggling with dogs, sipping on coffee, or hanging out among the trees, we'll be great friends!
