Film & Photography Welcome Guide

Inside of the guide, you'll find tips and tricks for magical shoots, a rundown of my creative process, a list of frequently asked questions, and details about my signature packages! 

I grew up with a camera in my hand, always documenting my life and loved ones. In 2010, I went on to study Broadcast Journalism at Duquesne University where I fell in love with storytelling through the art of writing, photography and film production. I used what I learned in school and in the early days of my career as a local news anchor and producer to start my own production company in 2016 with a mission to share positively uplifting stories. My mission has evolved since then, but it’s still pretty simple… I aspire to empower communities by helping leaders tell their stories, and share their gifts with the people they’re meant to help.

My experience…

“Shannon is truly the BEST at capturing your energy, making you feel relaxed and setting the vibe for a fun photo session. We even played music during the shoot. She is not only a great photographer, but an amazing human who seeks to do good in the world and spread love and kindness throughout her community. Reach out to Shannon if you’re looking to elevate your brand or tap into you higher purpose in life… highly recommend!!”

p.s. I’m always down to travel…

In 2022, I flew to Costa Rica to document a women’s retreat created by Ana Badila—a microdosing guru who’s dedicated her life to “healing others through the power of psychedelics, play, embodiment practices and ancient psycho-technologies such as mindful meditation and Socratic inquiry.”

Ana wanted a way to share her offer with people everywhere so that she could attract aligned participants for future events. CLICK HERE for a look at the photos we captured!

Storytelling through film…

Over the years, I’ve created several videos for organizations like The Pittsburgh Promise, a non-profit with a mission to send all Pittsburgh Public School students to college.

I’ve been working closely with the Promise as a photographer and filmmaker since 2016.
