Family & Children Portraits
In the gallery of life, some moments shine brighter than others—like capturing four generations in a single frame. “We had the most fun, capturing our 4 generations,” rejoiced Freda, thanks to Ellen for the ultimate Mother’s Day gift. Guiding this unforgettable experience was Shannon B Whittington, a maestro of joy and master of photography.
With her infectious spirit and unmatched talent, Shannon transforms moments into cherished memories and portraits into legacies. Each session becomes a day of pampering and celebration, honoring the remarkable women who shape our lives.
“Thank you for the beautiful moments, for immortalizing the heartbeats of generations, and for reminding us that love is the greatest legacy of all”.
Family:
where life begins and love never ends.
As a fellow mom,
I understand the delightful challenge of capturing those perfect portraits amidst the energy and antics of our little ones. That’s why my approach is all about making the portrait session a fun and memorable adventure. We take plenty of breaks for snacks, play silly games that tickle their funny bones, and let them be themselves—because those candid moments often turn out to be the most precious.
Alongside these playful captures,
we also craft stunning portraits that you’ll proudly display on your walls, encapsulating their unique spirit and the joy of their youthful exuberance. Together, let’s turn your worries into giggles and create lasting memories that reflect the true essence of your child’s personality.

Design Consultation
We talk about everything that happens during our time together. I find that this helps alleviate stress and anxiousness as it gives them a plan of what happens every step of the way, how long it takes, if there is anything that they need to do, and what I will do. We talk about things like how they want to be photographed, what styles they like, what they should wear, what they shouldn’t wear, what styles look best for their body type, how they prepare for their session day, we talk about hair and make up and the looks they like, we talk about how much time each part takes, we talk about what happens after we create their gorgeous images. We talk about pricing and their needs. Then if they are interested we book their session and back up two weeks and book their design session.
Wardrobe and styling
During your personalized design consultation, we’ll take the time to understand your families unique style preferences and your vision for your portrait session. With our expert guidance, we’ll curate a look that perfectly complements your family and your home, and bring your vision to life.
Portrait Session
