Hey 

You can typically find me re-watching New Girl, snuggling my cat Teddy, and sipping on a mocktail. I'm a professional memory-capturer,  adventurer, crafter, glass-half-full believer, minority advocate, amateur plant grower, cat mama, and coffee addict. I left my psychology career to pursue my passion - capturing true emotion, love, and art.

I'm genuinely so excited to meet you!

I'm Shanoah!

Gardening is my favorite pass-time. I love getting my hands in the dirt, it's SO rewarding, and has re-framed how I view the food I eat!

I lived in Malta, EU for a year! It was transformative & sparked my never - ending wanderlust!

I bought a house with my now Fiance, one of my biggest accomplishments to date!

I LOVE ITALY!!!
The coffee, the cobblestone streets, the fashion, the pizza, the pasta, the wine, need I say more? 

I've been a Swiftie since the first grade, and went to my first concert of hers with my best friend this summer!

I prefer community over competition, & LOVE collaborating with my fellow creatives!

Alec and I love to fish - This is us in Oregon catching some delicious salmon!

My family lives in Minnesota, & we visit every year! I have three three younger siblings who I adore!

We have a family cabin on lake Pend Oreille & love to spend summer weekends there!

I believe that photography is beautiful and fun, but also powerful. Photos are how we remember history, understand other areas of the world, see exactly how people felt in moments we weren't there for. Photos have the ability to bring us back to chapters of our lives that our closed, to people that we cant see again, to remember a love that we felt so deeply in a moment. 

A wedding day is full of these beautiful little moments. I approach weddings with a documentary style, which allows moments to flow naturally, while I capture the movement and joy of it all.  I edit in true  to life  tones, with special care to preserve golden sun and lush greens. From day one, my 'slogan', if you will, has been 'Candid, Authentic, Timeless', and as I dive more into this craft, the more I resonate with photography that reflects those values.
