Everything you need to know before booking your session with Shannon.
Shannon was born and raised on the South Shore of Long Island, and she's raising her own kids here too — this is home, not just where she works. That lifelong local connection means she knows exactly which parks, beaches, and neighborhoods across Nassau County make the best backdrops, and families feel that comfort the moment a session starts. Combined with a fully styled wardrobe closet, unhurried newborn sessions, and a genuine love for capturing real family moments rather than stiff, posed lineups, it's what sets her work apart.
Both. Shannon welcomes families into her studio, and she's equally happy to travel to your home, a favorite local park, or the beach for an on-location session anywhere in Nassau County.
Yes — beach photography is one of Shannon's favorite things to shoot. Having grown up on the South Shore, she has a long list of favorite spots along Nassau County's coastline for golden-hour family and newborn sessions.
Ideally during your second trimester. Newborn sessions are best captured within the first 5 to 14 days of life, so we recommend reserving your date well before your due date to guarantee availability.
We send every client a full styling guide after booking, with color palette suggestions and outfit coordination tips so your family photos feel cohesive without looking matchy.
Newborn sessions should be reserved during pregnancy. Family sessions are typically booked 4 to 8 weeks out, though fall and holiday dates fill up earlier.
