Hi, I’m Shanell — a passionate Aries and lifelong observer of the quiet, powerful moments that make up our lives. With over a decade behind the camera, I specialize in capturing the raw, intimate, and transformative experiences that shape who we are — from the anticipation of pregnancy and the intensity of birth, to the quiet magic of newborn days and the ever-evolving rhythm of family life.

But my work goes beyond the roles we step into — it’s also about the woman beneath it all.

I photograph women in their becoming: in moments of bravery, softness, sensuality, and return. From maiden to mother to self, I create space for you to be seen fully — not just in how you look, but in who you are. Whether it’s a motherhood session, a self-love shoot, or something that doesn’t fit neatly into a category, it’s all part of the same sacred story.

I’m drawn to the in-between — the breath before the cry, the calm in the chaos, the quiet gestures that speak the loudest. My approach is both intuitive and intentional. I don’t overly pose or perfect. I hold space for what’s real, and stay present enough to catch the beauty that reveals itself when you’re simply being you.

To me, photography isn’t just about preserving memories — it’s about witnessing. Honoring. Holding onto the feelings we never want to forget. It’s a way of slowing time, of making meaning, of telling the truth through light, color, and connection.

This is my work. This is my heart.
