Well, Hello!

I’m glad you’re here!
I’m Shannon, the one snuggling your newborns and making crazy noises & silly faces to get your toddler to give me those sweet giggles, while having so much fun playing with them!
Based out of Dubuque, Iowa I have been capturing your memories since 2011. When I am not having a blast with your family you will typically find me snuggling my five babies, cheering them on at their ball games or watching Grey’s Anatomy with my high-school sweetheart husband, Ben. Usually I am sporting my yoga pants & kiddos sports apparel with a sprinkle of Loras attire (my husband and I are both Alumni- GO DUHAWKS!)
Our family is HUGE into all things DISNEY, I actually am a Licensed Disney Travel agent as well - after our first trip in 2018 our family fell in love, now we live & breathe all things Disney!
I’m often told I am a very patient & outgoing person and typically become friends with my clients as I love to chat!

Newborn posing and safety is my specialty. Babies are only little for so long, let me capture those sweet tiny hands, wrinkled toes & squishy cheeks before they change all while ensuring they are given the best care.
I have photographed newborns for over 12 years, I let your baby lead the way & will never force your baby into an uncomfortable position that is unsafe for them.
As a one year old I lost my father to a car accident leaving me with only two photos with him, realizing how important photos are to look back on life & have as memories. You truly can’t put a price on memories and it’s so easy to get caught up in life & before we know it, years fly by.

Let me ensure that you have high quality memories for the years to come, I promise I won’t let you down!

"I can’t say enough good things about Shannon. The way she captures truly genuine moments even when the kids aren’t cooperative is purely amazing. Thank you so much for giving my family and I irreplaceable memories!”

"Shannon is a wonderful person and an amazing photographer/editor. She has an excellent artist point of view that delivers results that can wow you in any photo setting. Give her time to work her magic and you will not be disappointed. Every session we have done, from engagement to siblings to now our twin baby girls pictures, I am thankful to have Shannon as our professional. Even if you think everything is going wrong because babies and kids can have off days, Shannon has so much patience and will still find ways to snap beautiful pictures for you. I also love that you can bring in props/outfits or use hers and then you get to collaborate together to come up with great poses. I highly recommend Seymour Flash Photography for any special moment you want to capture and look back on."
