Amazing, gorgeous day today. I had a session in the morning, then spent the rest of the day clearing out the back yard to prepare for a garden. I thought I had taken a “before” picture a few weeks ago, but I couldn’t find it (I didn’t look very hard though… if I come across...
If you get chickens I am going to be so insanely jealous!!!! I totally have a chicken catalog I’ll share with you, though–I might need to live vicariously through you!
We’re big garden freaks. We even made these giant tomato cages (that ended-up being insanely expensive)… just like to experiment with it all. Good luck!
funny you should mention chickens. my big sister has a blog, and has written many times about her chickens…most recently about one of their hens that just had chicks! good luck in the chicken department!
oopps! here’s the link to her blog: http://thyhandhathprovided.blogspot.com/
Great post. We too are preparing for our garden. Fruit trees are also in the works. My sister (Kristen) and mom are great gardeners too. I feel so lame about it. But I keep having the dream.
You made your weeds look so pretty! My weeds, on the other hand, are ugly and way out of control. We were doing battle with the garden spot this weekend too!
amazing grass photos! beautiful! i loved animal vegetable miracle, too.
Sorry I’ve been such a slacker in posting this! I really am excited about this place. It just makes me so happy. About a year ago, I envisioned what I wanted in a studio. Just a tiny place that is bright, clean, and happy. I’m pretty sure that place that I imagined came out of...

It looks fantastic. Great job! I want to come and hang out and look at all the pretty pics.
it looks so amazing Shannon! What a beautiful place you created 
SO thrilled for you – I hope to come see it one day soon! And you!
Wow, wow, and wow. It’s even cuter than I imagined! And I love seeing a couple of my family pics in your happy place. You are ridiculously amazing.
Yummy. I mean, the studio AND the candy. You are very fancy. Congrats, and Dave is a good man.
It looks lovely! Congratulations!!!
The studio is SO BEAUTIFUL! The rainbow wall is my favorite I’d love to have such a rainbow wall in my home someday. I am so sorry we weren’t able to come to your open house — we would have loved to be there! I guess we are just going to have to stop by your studio at another time. Really truly amazing. Thanks for sharing your dream!
it is WAY more beautiful than i imagined…so amazing. and since i’m not comming your way i think you need to take pics of the detail and put them up here anyway .:)
I love it Shannon!! It’s wonderful! So quaint and cheery and just a perfect space!! Congrats!!
very beautiful! lucky you to have this space to call your own! i am so bummed i missed the open house!
Wow! It really looks amazing. Congratulations, Shannon!
Oh, WOW!! What an awesome space! Yay you!!
Yeah! So cool to see before and after pics. Your space has really been transformed!! Thanks for letting me help you – it was fun! And Dave is THE MAN!!
Love what you did with the door and the rainbow wall might be my fave! Congrats…you deserve it!
Yeah! I love all pictures! I feel like I’m there and that I want to go back. To take a deep breath and relax. It really is a beautiful space.
Of all the people I know. The whole think it and it will come thing really works for you. Can I slip my dreams into your pocket? =)
(and I had fun doing the food. When’s the next party?)
holy smokes!!! this is awesome girl…..
you did such a GREAT job with this, how fun!!
I’m so excited for you…..
Shannon- It looks SO AMAZING! I’m really sad that I missed it. I’m glad that I’ve been there though, even though it wasn’t totally finished. It’s so so cute and perfect. You are so talented.
Shannon, I had it on the calendar and everything but we ended up having a big ol’ thing that day. I was still hoping to sneak away, but it didn’t happen. I definitely want to come take a real life look. I have a huge list of things to do when I’m up that way again. I’ll call ya.
It looks FANTASTIC though! Wow! Really I love it!!
It’s beautiful! Best wishes
I really really love the personal touches, its a warm and inviting spot! I must go check it out sometime! =] happy shooting
love it. LOVE IT! Love that it is so crisp and clean and vibrant. Don’t you want to just sneak away there sometimes and hide. What is the woman’s version of a “man cave”? I want one. Oh yeah, but I get that you do work there too
How exciting! I can just see you there. I can’t wait till we move west and can have you do some pictures . . . in about 10 years after we pay off all our debt!
Jealous…and inspired! Good for you for envisioning it and then making it happen!
Wow Shannon that is so awesome. It looks great! Congratulations! You are so talented!
I am so impressed once again! I’ve added you as one of my few places I go to for creative inspiration. I love everything you do!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it Shannon!!!! It turned out awesome!
Shannon your studio looks great. Sorry we missed the open house but glad we got to see your studio in real life back in November. Question, how did you hang those 16×16 prints on the wall?
this studio is amazing, shannon!
wowzers.
incredible.
love your name on the door.
i’m so happy for you.
hey your studio looks awesome. I saw our picture on the floor. I feel pretty special to be in your studio…
Shannon…I just love it. I so wish I lived near you so I could take advantage of your AWESOME talent! Seriously, you rock!
I know I’m supposed to be talking about the open house and posting pics of the studio. But I don’t have the pics on this computer, so that will have to wait. But the Open House was awesome. So much fun! I’ll give a full report in the next few days. In the meantime, let’s...

One of the best sessions I have seen from you – these are fabulous!!!
the weeds with the thorns was totally worth it!! Lovely session:)
your big shots with tiny people and your shot with the sun flare totally remind me of my friend amelias phptography. your pics are great! can’t wait to see the open house.:)
these are so awesome! love them!
i am so bummed i didn’t make it to the open house. i got caught up in walnut creek and couldn’t make it back in time. i am glad to hear it went well and can’t wait to see/hear more about it.
Shannon, your work is magnificent. Breathtaking. Every image is a work of art – absolutely superb. (can you tell I’m a fan?). Your composition and use of whitespace are so inspiring – they draw you right in to the subject, without it being overwhelming. I would give just about anything to have you photograph my family.
These are fabulous, Shannon!
LOVE that last one – LOVE it:)
Great session!
shannon … i love this session too! my favorite is the 1st image for sure.
You’ve done such a beautiful job with this session. I love the intimacy and fun you’ve captured. Well done!
Came across this in Facebook the other day. I can’t get it to embed, but it’s worth the click- Check it out. I think he has a point. So, this blogging every day thing… yeah… not going so well, but it’s almost every other day, which is better than once a week, so I guess...
