Meet the photographer

Hey there - I am Shannon, your Raleigh, North Carolina Studio Photographer! I am an outdoor enthusiast with a master’s degree in wildlife biology. My thesis research was on Red-tailed Hawks and while I eventually left wildlife research to a career in clinical research, I have always felt a strong connection to nature and the outdoors. This led to my eventual purchase of my Sony Alpha 7III camera and a 200-600mm lens.

While out photographing eagles at Shelley Lake, I met Rob Tomlinson of Cutting Edge Studios on Six Forks Road in Raleigh. This introduction led to the opening of my business!

Book with me and I’ll make sure you walk away with photos that will have all your friends and family swooning or pictures you will proudly post across your company website.
