Life moves fast in the seasons that matter most. My job is to make photos feel easy—clear direction when you need it, space when you don’t, and a calm presence throughout—so you can focus on being there while I document the story.

Wedding & Motherhood Photographer based in Cleveland, Ohio

Time is sneaky. One day you’re planning a wedding down to the minute, and the next you’re looking at your gallery wondering how it all went by so fast. One day your baby fits perfectly in the crook of your arm, and then you’re realizing that they’re too big to be carried around anymore.

I’m a Cleveland-based wedding and motherhood photographer, and my approach is simple: keep it calm, keep it easy, and capture what’s real while it’s happening. The goal isn’t to “look perfect, but to have something honest to come back to when this version of life is already gone.

Hi, I’m Shawnae!


I photograph wedding days and motherhood seasons because they’re the chapters people swear they’ll remember forever…until time does what it does.

Photos that are artful enough to hang on the wall, and honest enough to bring you right back.

Serin and I can't thank Shawnae enough for our photos and experience. She doesn't just take photos, she captures moments that will last forever!

-Serin & Cam

Shawnae took incredible care of us throughout our wedding planning process.

Throughout this process, Shawnae has become more than just our photographer, but a true friend. There's nothing like having someone who recognizes when you need a break in the fun, but exhausting, day and gives you that option to pause to breathe.

-Shaylei & Phil

Our engAgement shoot was so fun and creative! She made sure we were comfortable, my vision was captured, and the photos came out great! COuldn't be happier in our choice of photographer.
