I had a gorgeous couple in today for a maternity session. Not only are they beautiful, but really fun too. I had a great time. : ) They’ll be back in a few weeks with their new baby and I can’t wait!
I hope you like what you see so far Lucy and Matt. I’ll let you know when your private gallery is ready for viewing. Good luck with bub and I can’t wait to meet him/her!

I had another photographer friend let me take pics of her kids whilst I was in Denver. So glad she did, because they are gorgeous!
Oh, and I couldn’t resist…I had to add one more…I love ladybugs!
Thanks for supplying me with more models Janett! I needed some bigger kids in my portfolio. I’ll ship you off a CD shortly. : D
~Shanna
Beautiful children! Those last two portraits are so especially wonderful!!
Beautiful color and light!! Wonderful work :)
Love the ladybug shots! And you captured such a range of expressions/emotions with these kids!
Gorgeous!!! Both the kids & the photos. Love the last 2. :)
So gorgeous! Love the ladybug one!
Beautiful children. So at home in front of the camera!
GORGEOUS! WOW!
and that last shot is AWESOME!
I love these Shanna, that shot of my girl with the ladybug is super awesome. Thanks!!!
What processing did you use on the ladybug photo? It’s subtle but just perfect?
Hey Jeannette. Glad you like them. : ) With the ladybug photos I did a lot of tweaking, but in the end I used the coral action by lily blue to finish it off. HTH! ; )
I had the opportunity to do a maternity session with a fellow photographer friend while in Denver. She’s such a great girl and I was honoured that she wanted me to take her pictures while I was there. Here’s a little peek at what we got:
I hope you like them Farrah! I’ll send you off the CD with these and the others soon. I miss you!
~Shanna
Oh Wow! I love the first one!
These are stunning! What beautiful captures! BTW, thank you for telling me about my photo’s looking pixely. Would you mind stopping by and letting me know if the new ones posted look better? Thanks so much!
Looks great Shan! Farrah was a trooper that day! The last picture was taken right before it started to thunder and lightening! We were booting it back to the car and made it just in time! Can’t wait to see the baby photos now!
Great shots!
Love Love Love the last one! She is one beautiful mama-to-be!
These are so good. She sure is lucky to have so many great maternity pictures!
I LOVE outdoor maternity shoots, and this one is fabulous! What a stunning momma!
one word WOW!
Totally stunning work! Such a lovely momma-to-be with gorgeous photos to remember this special time.
Beautiful mom-2-be & these pics are fantastic!!! I wish I had shots like this of me when I was pregs!
“like them”??? I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! You did such a great job on these and you made me look AWESOME! My favorite is the one on the black background. Thanks sooo much! =) It was really great having photo shoots with you and getting to know you. I hope you’ll visit Karma more often! =) and Karma…it was great to meet you too…you’re the best assistant! =)
So sophisticated! I never would have thought of the boats as a maternity background but it is wonderful imagery.
These are all beautiful but that first image is stunning!!! She needs to print it on canvas kind of stunning!!
Farrah is gorgeous! And your photos are AWESOME!
Absolutely STUNNING! :)
These are great. Love that first one, a lot! Beautiful mama to be!

[…] Love the scenery and the way the wind is blowing her dress. (Mother Earth) […]
Time to start planning Jemma’s birthday party…*sigh*
Gorgeous, Shanna, and how in the world can she be 10 months old? Wasn’t she just born, lol?? I so wish I could have gotten to meet her…
Beautiful!
What!!!??? 10 months !! already
she is just gorgeous!
Gorgeous capture!!!! Adorable little girl too!
She is just beautiful Shanna.
Awwhh, what a cutie! Those months pass so quickly!
What a darling!!
Oh my gorgeousness! I love the soft colors in this photo, and then the POP of her blue eyes. And I can’t believe she is already 10 months old!!
No no no! *plugging my ears* I don’t want to hear that she is almost ONE! OMG where did this past year go?! She is gorgeous… I can’t wait to see what kind of party you give her!
What a doll, you are the eyes master!
Her eyes are just amazing.
She’s so precious! Love her eyes. Mine is turning one in just a few weeks and I haven’t even started planning yet!
Okay, here we go…this is part one of my flood of posts of the photos I got while I was in Denver. This lovely couple graciously agreed to be our models for the workshop that I organised the first weekend I was there. Unfortunately, due to matters that I won’t get into, I missed out on the first day of the workshop! I was most disappointed. Luckily I made it to the last day and had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful couple. I’m so glad I did. They are absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t decide which photos to post on my blog, so I pretty much picked them all… ha ha Enjoy!
Having fun in an alley:
Getting spicy in the street:
A little bit formal in the art gallery:
I think he’s smitten… ; )
I hope you like them Mel and Vlad! I’ll send off your CD shortly. Thanks again for being such good sports! You were awesome models for us!
~Shanna
P.S. – They really did get engaged…before these pictures were taken! How cool is that!?
Special thanks to the Sizzle & Bang art gallery in the art district of downtown Denver. The owner saw us shooting outside in the middle of the street and invited us in for a refreshment and use of his space. What a sweetheart!
Fantastic shots – I have to say that your first shot of them in the gallery (7th photo I believe) is the most attractive shot of them as a couple. Beautiful models – her face tends to photograph rather long (not a bad thing mind you!) – but in this shot, she is stunning.
Thank you Shanna for your lovely comments about us. We really enjoyed you and all of the lovely shots that we will be getting. I have to admit my face does look long, but hey I have a long face LOL. You managed to make us look great in these shots and we will cherish them forever. Thank you tons!
I love them all and so will they.
Mel and Vlad you both look amazing!!! These pictures rock big time, what perfect models, I am glad that I was there to watch and help a little! :D Melanie, you are one beautiful lady!
Stunning shots and beautiful couple!!!
Oh wow….these are fantastic!
