Policy Update

After long consideration, I have decided to offer Digital Negatives in packages. With all the technology available today, I felt it would best suit myself and you (the client) if you have digital negatives. You'll be able to post them on your Myspace, show them on your camera phone, email to relatives or print out (30) 5x7's -if that's what you wish. However, I will be very strict about Copyright Laws. This is to protect my Name and Livelihood. You will have a "Limited Use License." This means you may only print them up to size 8x10 and not alter the images in anyway. You will not be given full-resolution files and I will not guarentee the size beyond an 8x10. All enlargements must be ordered through S.M.P., where I have complete control over the quality of the image using the original full-resolution file.
( Even though you bought the digital negative, the Copyright still belongs to Shannon Marie Photography.) This information is to educate you, the Client, and to protect my business. Thank you for understanding!

Newborn: Mister M. 9 days old

Meet Mister M. who was 9 days old when I photographed him. He was sleeping away when I arrived and allowed me to get in quite a few shots before he started waking up! When he was sleeping, he was out- but when he woke up, he was up! wink. I love the moment caught between Mom and Mister M. That's what I look for, that one moment when you see it, you feel such gratitude to be a part of it! Enjoy your Sneak Peek Mom, Dad, and older brother!

Newborn: Miss M. 7 days old

She was such the sweetest little thing, and I mean little, only 6 lbs and some ounces! She was so cute, she would curl into a little ball and put her hands near her ears. She was a great sleeper until I came along and she kept wanting to wake up- but I didn't let you! wink. Her parents have this fantastic old farmhouse full of character and so I had to use the house as a prop. I put little Miss M. into the basket and onto the deep windowsill. I really like how it turned out. Enjoy your Sneak Peek new parents!

A Tea Party for a 4 Year Old

Isn't she stunning? And who would have thought she was only 4 years old? This was my first time trying out the Petti skirt and it was lovely on Miss. J. We brought out the blanket for a Tea Party with "raspberry" tea. I also brought balloons for Miss J. to play with and I think it fits with Springton Manor Farm. Enjoy your Sneak Peek!

I should say Couples/Engagements Sessions

Ok, so maybe you've been engaged for awhile and never had an E-session or maybe you didn't like your pictures and wanted something new and different. Maybe you've been married and would like some new pictures of just the two of you? Nothing wrong with that! When was the last time you were actually in the photo? Date night? What's that you say? Than it is time for some one on one {plus Photographer} to document those moments!

Kisses Galore

Ok, I just wanted to start this post with a "I am not a wedding Photographer!" lol. You may remember this family from an earlier post? Well, the Mom wanted some pictures of the family dressed up for her sister's wedding. So, I was hired as the Wedding Children's Photographer- and I must say what beautiful children all around! Mister G. was spell bound by the golf cart and was pretending to drive the little girls around! {The need for speed at such an early age! lol.} The girls are just charming and love the pose of them around their little brother. What a Beautiful Day- thank you! And remember... I don't do weddings! lol

Meet Newborn Miss C.

She was such a Sleeping Beauty! I had such a great time photographing this little bundle of goodness. I just couldn't wait to show her off! She was 6 days old when I photographed her. I love moody BW and even though I shoot digital you can still make it look like the old film days. This is also an example of storyboards that I can create for showing off in your home. *** Check out the Slideshow for more pictures from the session!
