Oh Hey,
I'm Shantel.
Coffee literally makes me happy, I'm an Enneagram Seven, a firm believer of kind is cool, I don't like carrots, I want to travel the world in a van ... with my kids + hubby + dog, God is always good, my kids strongly enjoy not listening but they make me the freaking happiest, I hate glitter, and donuts are forever the way to my heart. Ready to be best friends?
I graduated college with a bachelors degree in business and a minor in marketing, married my college sweetheart, and currently chase after the most adorable + crazy babes you ever did meet.
When I am not documenting your story, I am usually tangled up in my babies, hitting the golf course with my hubby, having a wine night with my girls, or binge watching all the documentaries. On the rare occasion you don't see a camera in my hand, odds are I will have an ice coffee in one and a kiddo of mine in the other.
My photography journey started shortly after our first little love entered the world. I wanted to be able to document everything ... ya know, those "You're gunna miss this one day" kinda moments. From there my hobby grew into a side gig, then an actual gig "gig" if ya know what I mean?!?!
What I love most about photography is connection. I love the connection I feel to my clients, but I utterly love capturing your connection. My images make you "feel", they will take you back to a moment in time that would otherwise be gone, and they will forever hold a lasting memory.
Our adventures mainly focus on connection + fun. If you are looking for the smile and say cheese type, I'm probably not your girl. I'm all about capturing the raw, the real, the in-between. We play games, snuggle, and basically laugh our butts off ... sounds fun right??
I am obsessed with telling your story no matter what season of life you are in. Tantrums, snuggle puddles, champagne pops, graduation, whatever stage you are in, let's get together and create some memories. Photos don't have to be stressful, but they better be fun.
