Hello Friend!

Thanks for stopping by! What is a blog? To me a blog is where I get to share my most recent work, my studio news and in some cases my personal rants and raves. I love to hear what you think so if somethng here makes you smile, makes you cry or just downright makes you wonder...send me a PS. I mean what letter is complete without a PS?

Sometimes in life you get a freebie. A ’show up and shoot and everything’s perfect’ kind of gift from the universe, and all you have to do is remember to say thank you. THAT was the kind of day that we had with Katie & Russell. Everything was perfect, from the location to the light, the theme, and the couple. The day went perfectly and fit perfectly. It was the kind of wedding where you can shoot for 16 hours before you realize that you’re even tired. Because it’s easy and fun and there is beauty everywhere you look. It is at a wedding like this, that you are reminded why it is exactly that you have the best job on earth. Katie & Russell, thank you for inviting Judith and I to share your beautiful day, your families, and, more importantly, your love. I wish you the best as you begin your lives together and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! Much love and appreciation. – Shawna

The weather was beautiful and they were surrounded by family and friends.  Time went by so quickly; from walking down the aisle, to sharing vows with quotes from Robert Munsch, the “I do’s”, to the photo shoot with family and the bridal party. The reception came and quickly went. Even though the tears have dried, the smiles still remain, and they will always have the memories of the best day of their lives. Katherine & Curtis, thank you for reminding me what true love looks like. Thank you for allowing Aaron and I to be a part of your special day and we can’t wait to hear of all the amazing things the future holds for you! Much love and appreciation! Shawna

Kelly & Len were introduced by her bridesmaid  Marcie.  Marcie kept telling Kelly about this fabulous guy named Len of whom she just had  meet!  Unfortunately each time they went out, either Len or Kelly wouldn’t be available.  FINALLY  as luck may have it they were out at the same time but Kelly didn’t realize that this was “Len”!  So as the night progress she was talking to “this guy” and somewhere deep in the conversation Kelly finally asked his name and he said “Len”.  Kelly said “I’m supposed to meet you!”.  They talked the night away and Len gave Kelly her phone number.  They started dating and 6 months into the relationship Len invited Kelly to go to Costa Rica with his parents.  Kelly and Len both share a love of animals and spent a lot of time in the national parks.  Their next trip was to Kenya! The year after that they celebrated the birth of their beautiful daughter, Justine.  It was natural that they were married at the zoo! Thank you Kelly and Len! Your passion and sincerity for life and each other is contagious and I was extraordinarily honored to be a part of your wedding day. I wish you nothing but happiness, joy, and contentment for eternity! Much love and appreciation….Shawna
