Made In Brooklyn

I know, I know. It’s been way too long since I’ve blogged and so much has gone on. I’ll do my best to add everything in the next few weeks. Today, I chose to add photos from Tia’s maternity shoot. I love these photos because they really mirror Tia and Dale’s personalities. I can’t wait to meet and photograph Cullen!

Adrienne + Matthew

I’ve decided that this is baby week so I’m posting a few shots from a shoot the other day with Adrienne and her son Matthew.

(I can’t figure out how to get rid of that view PicLens option. Just disregard it and click on the thumbnails…please.)

Nailah’s A Mom!

Shannon — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:10:48 +0000

On Saturday, one of my besties gave birth to a baby girl. In their honor, I’m posting some maternity photos that I did for her at 5 months. (I know, what took me so long.) Warning: She has the smallest stomach ever. What I wouldn’t do to be as lucky as her when I have kids. She was a dancer for years (hence, the small frame) so we tried to capture a lot of that in the photos instead of the typical maternity photos. Let me know what you think!

A (Hot) Day With Fatima & David in Georgetown

Shannon — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 16:15:11 +0000

I spent the other day walking the mean streets of Georgetown with Fatima and David. The day was HOT. Seriously. It was at least 100 degrees outside. But nevertheless, we trekked on and were able to pull out some great photos. Did I also mention that I was (randomly) coming down with the flu that day? Anyway, here are a few from the shoot. Fatima and David are ridiculously fun to be around and I can’t wait for the wedding in October.

Salvador da Bahia

Shannon — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 13:00:52 +0000

As I mentioned before, I am currently in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil doing some research. My friend L’rai is here with me until tomorrow, so today we woke up at 5:30 am and took some photos. Here are a few of them. There’s also a couple from our walk around Pelhourinho the other day.

Seriously, Next Week

Shannon — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:00:16 +0000

It’s sill been a crazy few weeks, so it’s hard to be my organized self. And to top it off, I’mnow in Brazil on a hunt to track down reliable Internet. it’s great being able to work from wherever, except when things don’t quite work the way that you expect them to. I think I’ve been able to strike a pretty good deal with the hostel close to my apartment here in Salvador, so I should have easier access to WIFI. So, next week, I’ll go back to adding more photos. And I even have a few from Rio! I hope everyone is doing well.

Who Was I Kidding?

Shannon — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:56:29 +0000

So, I was all set to work on these blog posts and then realized that I was heading to Brazil in 2 days with way too much to do. Since I have too much to do this week, the blog is going to have to take a back seat. I’ll have posts up on Monday morning. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

New Post Coming Soon

Shannon — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:36:42 +0000

It’s been a crazy weekend, but I’m going to get the blog back on its Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule and put up some new photos today. But meanwhile I have you guys here, is there anything else (topics, features, etc) that you guys would like to see on the blog?

Here’s to MJ

I still can’t believe it. While I sort out all of the emotions that I feel about Michael Jackson passing away, here’s my favorite MJ photograph:

On Bad Days…

Shannon — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:15:24 +0000

e-mails like the one I received yesterday mean so much. Yesterday I was having one of those days where nothing was going as planned. I was rethinking all of my decisions and wondering if photography was exactly what I should be doing at this moment. Then, I received an email from a bride whose photos I had just sent the day prior. It said

Hi Shannon,

Thank you so much, you did a beautiful job with the photos. I was saying to my mom that you were so unobtrusive, but whenever I would
think “oh, that would be a good picture,” I’d see you out of the corner of my eye, already there taking the photo. I especially love some of the (in)formal individual portraits you took. And looking at the pictures of us during the ceremony, those photos really capture how I felt in those moments.

Again, thank you, I am so glad that you were our photographer. I wish you all the best in your photography business. With all your talent I have no doubt it will continue to grow and flourish.

These e-mails mean the world to me. It was an instant reminder of why this is exactly where I am supposed to be, even when it’s not easy. I’ll post some photos from the weddng tomorrow.
