Photography has always been a passion of mine. Documenting memories of friends and family and capturing the magical world outside my window has always been something I enjoyed doing. Before I even knew what I wanted to spend my life accomplishing, I had a camera in my hand and it was my way of capturing how I viewed the world.
I have spent the last fifteen years growing as a photographer. I have received a degree, a diploma, travelled parts of the world, and gained worlds of experience. The largest learning experiences have been through getting married, and having two beautiful girls of my own. I have planned the big wedding, experienced my own different forms of pregnancy, and I am learning everyday how to navigate this thing called parenting. Through all of this I have learned that for me, the most important job I have is capturing the moments, attitudes, personalities, jokes and LOVE every family and couple shares. Time is fleeting, things pass right before your eyes and before we know it those moments are gone. If we do not capture it, those moments could be missed or forgotten.
Photographs obviously allow us to remember a specific moment in time. But it is the photographs that can help us relive the feelings we felt in that moment, that I believe are the most important.
I understand that families, newborns, and pregnancy can be incredibly exciting, busy, and stressful to organize and capture, so I ensure by having an easy and seamless experience, that I do not add to that.
I want to thank you for taking the time to view my site. I look forward to the chance of meeting with you and discussing your future sessions.
Should you have any questions about my packages or services please do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Shannon Bourgeois

"I have known Shannon for 6+ years now and have seen the work she has put into her photography. She has done a few sessions for myself and my family and has done a fabulous job. She is very personable and always comes prepared for each session. With her prior experience she offers suggestions prior to the shoot, but also comes prepared with other ideas/back up plans to the shoot itself. Her turn-around time for editing photos and finished products were exceptional and I would use her again no questions asked"

I have trusted Shannon to capture many important milestones for my family and she has always delivered. I definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer.

"Shannon did a mini session for my kids, niece and nephew! I'm so happy with the photos, and the turnaround time was super quick! Shannon was lovely and friendly with kids ranging in age from 1 to 7, and very patient! I trusted she would get some great shots, (even when it seemed like all the kids couldn't smile together at once lol) and she absolutely came through. Happy to have this moment in time captured ❤️ Thank you!"
