Hi,
I'm shanndra!
Based in Sandy Hook, KY. I have been truly blessed that God has allowed my career to be my passion and gives me the opportunity to share my gift with others! I love the details of every session and want to capture genuine laughter from everyone I get to work with, even if I'm asking for a "Fake laugh", we're going to try to get to that real YOU. I focus on Couples, Families, and babies, which means I capture everything from Birth sessions to Weddings. From the moment you inquire about a booking to the moment you open your gallery or prints, I strive to answer every question, calm every nerve, and provide my all so that you have one less thing to worry about.
My family
My husband and I grew up together.
CUE THE "EWS" AND "AWES".
We've been together since 2018, married in 2022. He is my best friend and the love of my life.
We have two beautiful babies.
Our son is his father made over. He's basically a little genius and has the biggest heart. Luckily he has grown up with the camera focused on him and has yet to decide that he hates it. Because of this, my personal FB is filled with nothing more than photos of this poor boy and all the shenanigan's he gets into. He was truly my saving grace.
Our daughter is a spitting image of her brother. Before she was even born we did a 4D ultrasound and hers was identical to her brother's, we have always said we copy and pasted both genders. She LOVES attention. She's so silly, and has had the biggest personality since she was a couple weeks old. I'm still hoping her hair turns red ;)
My babies are my whole world.
animals
I am an animal enthusiast.
I adore all animals and I'd live at a zoo, if I could.
I have had an obsession with St Bernards since I was a little girl. Beethoven was my favorite movie growing up. I begged my mom for a puppy for the longest time. She was terrified of dogs and never wanted one. We got on Puppyfind.com (no longer a website, I believe), and she expected me to pick a tiny breed, I chose a St Bernard puppy with one patch on his left eye, his name was Buddy. He sparked my obsession even more. My goal in life is to have a St Bernard farm lol. My husband would probably stroke over if I actually follow through.
We currently have a St Bernard named, Winnie and a Rottweiler named, Drax.
My Rottie is the biggest/scariest looking baby. I hate that Rottweilers have such a bad rep, because he has the best temperament and is an all around great dog. My son is obsessed with him!
We also have 2 ducks- Cheese & Rubble.
One of my favorite things to in the mornings is sit outside and watch my ducks play & swim in the pond.
I love pet portraits.. It definitely helps when pets are well-behaved and know basic commands. I'm not opposed to running and chasing them around to get the perfect shot! Bring your fur babies to our session or book a session just for them!
