Pederson Family

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Lucas,  Shawn &  Amelia for a couple of years now.   Each session that we’ve had has been very fun and entertaining to say the least.  I think we’ve shared a laugh each time!

For those of you with younger children, you probably can identify how much young children like run around and these three are no different.  I always say the best photos are when children are in their own element running around having  some good ol’ fun and this trio did not disappoint – Enjoy!

Jenny - These pictures are stunning! Shawn, you really captured each of the kid’s unique personalities! Thank you!

P.S. Did you remember to take your toy spider back with you, or did you leave it there?June 26, 2010 – 12:37 pm

Jake + Cathy + Charlie

It’s always a privilege to be able to take someone’s picture and more so if you get to do it over the course their life.  I have really enjoyed being around Jake and Cathy getting to watch Charlie grow over the past year.  He’s seriously one of the best youngster’s I’ve ever been around in front of the camera!

Charlie is now at that fun age where you can just let him go and capture the moments as he explores the world.  We met up for his shoot at Charlie’s Grandparent’s farm and that’s exactly what he did.  Can’t wait to see you again!


Brian + Sara + Loki + Raja

I always love sessions with past clients and this one in particular meant a lot. I photographed Brian and Sara’s wedding a couple years ago and we still stay in touch and get to catch up from time to time.   I was excited to hear from Sara recently, but was saddened to hear the news that, Loki, their two year old lab-border collie is having kidney failure.  Last year we lost our “buddy” Boomer. We had almost 15 wonderful (even though he was notorious for stealing our shoes) years with him. Knowing that dogs are a large part of a family, Sara and I made arrangements to capture an afternoon in the life of Loki.  I also got up close and personal (as in licked in the face) with Raja, their other dog.  Both did such a good job for me!

We miss you “Boom-Boom”!!!:)

Brian and Sara - Shawn!

We looooooooooove these!!! So much! You absolutely captured the personalities of our pups. I cannot tell you how happy and joyful these pictures make us. Can’t wait to see them all! A HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you!!! It’s going to be hard to pick which ones will end up framed. But that’s a fabulous problem to have. BTW, Loki’s latest blood work showed some great improvements and we don’t have to be back at the vet’s for a month as long as Loki keeps it up. Good to meet Boomer. Adorable.

As always, it’s fabulous to work with you!

Culbertson Family

Hailey is a Chi-Hi grad that Shawn shot last year for her senior pictures.  Her session was so well received that her Mom’s family all wanted to get together for a family shoot.  It took some coordination of shedules get this shoot in but everyone was finally able to get together and take advantage of the nice spring afternoon for some fun family shots.  What a wonderful family!
