Hello. I’m Shannon. I looooove capturing people and love and connections and pretty pictures. I’ve always been a frustrated artist. I wanted so badly to be able to create, but with painting and drawing… I was really just average. No talent there. It always made me feel badly that I couldn’t be a “real” artist, but I took solace in being creative and crafty. But I really came alive when I discovered photography. I felt myself change in a really amazing way. I love being able to capture what I see, what I discover through the lens, for other people. I love that I can add beauty to the already-beautiful world.
I AM … blessed and lucky and happy and silly and easily excitable and a mom and a wife and a photographer and a dog owner… I could keep going for quite a while.
I WANT… to be more organized.
I HAVE … an amazing husband and noisy (but awesome) kids.
I KEEP … loads of images on my harddrive.
I WISH I COULD … enjoy the moment as it happened a little more often.
I HATE … when people are mean on purpose.
I FEAR … way too many things that I have no control over.
I HEAR …my bed calling.
I DON’T THINK … I keep in contact with people that are important to me enough.
I REGRET …not journaling more.
I LOVE …my family.
I AM NOT … perfect. At all.
I DANCE …yes I do. I was a clogger for many years. But you will never see me doing it.
I SING …Opera. Only to embarrass the kids.
I NEVER … eat earwax. Seriously. No way.
I RARELY … take exotic vacations. Ok, that would fit in the never category.
I CRY WHEN I WATCH … I feel bad. (duh!)
I AM NOT ALWAYS … on time to Sophie’s gymnastics.
I HATE THAT …I am so hard on myself sometimes.
I’M CONFUSED ABOUT … technology. Computers, especially. I love them, but I really don’t understand them.
I NEED … to never get another cavity. I’m done with that nonsense.
I SHOULD … go to bed.
