I'm Shawna!
A Williston, ND based wedding and portrait photographer for couples in love, growing families, everyday milestones, newborns, business professionals, and everything in between.
​
I know how quickly time passes and how special it is to hold onto the little moments such as the laughter with your family and children, the little snuggles with your new and growing babies, and all of the in-between moments that make your family one of a kind. My goal is to craft images that go beyond just being beautiful photos. I strive to create an experience that feels relaxed and effortless, resulting in meaningful, lasting keepsakes you’ll cherish for years to come. Whether we’re documenting your growing family, welcoming a new baby, or celebrating your wedding day, I’m here to capture it all in the most heartfelt way. Someday, these images may be the only thing you have left of someone very important to you, and that's why this is important to me. Your memories are what will remain forever.
my mission is to produce true to color, bright and vibrant imagery, creating timeless heirlooms that reflect you.
​
Each gallery is thoughtfully curated to include a mix of prompted and guided interactions, carefully styled poses and genuine, candid, natural moments, giving you a complete and authentic story. one that will stay with your family for many years to come.
​This passion started at an early age for me, and I ran with it and pursed my dream of having my own business. I turned 'someday' into today.​​​ Now, with almost a decade of experience, there is
nothing I love more than being a part of a small moment that can have a big impact.
​
During your session, you will feel relaxed, comfortable and at ease knowing you're in good hands. As someone who is detail focused and determined to get your kiddos (and pets) to look my way for those classic portraits, I also strive to capture all of those in-between moments that will fill your gallery with real, raw, and everyday lifestyle images. Bring me along for a stroll through your favorite park, an afternoon at the lake, baking cookies with Grandma over the holidays, to the place you had your first date, your favorite coffee shop, your family farm, or even to a random field in the middle of nowhere with a picnic basket and a bottle of champagne. No matter the moment, every single one counts. Capture it. Remember it.

If you enjoy watching shows like F.R.I.E.N.D.S., One Tree Hill, or Grey's Anatomy, eating anything containing chocolate, enjoying the sunshine, listening to Taylor Swift, traveling, spending free moments with friends and family, or scrolling Pinterest for all the DIY inspirations, we're going to get along just fine!
I can't wait to meet you!
