S.D. Wyatt Photography

Shannon is truly the baby whisperer! She was able to get amazing photos of my 22 month old and 4 month old baby — not an easy task!
She took her time during our shoot to get all the shots that I wanted. She also has tons of props to make the photos special. We ended up with about 15 great edited photos — and have already received tons of compliments on them!

Shannon has been such a pleasure to work with! She is extremely professional, arrives on time, and is more than flexible with scheduling. This past session we had scheduled for my son had to be rescheduled several times because of teething challenges :). Shannon was more than flexibile and accomodating.
My favorite thing about Shannon is how wonderful she is with children. She has a mothering spirit about her and my son responds so well to her. She will sing songs, act goofy, whatever it takes to get a great shot. When working with a toddler that means a lot. Shannon comes up with creative ideas and makes you feel so comfortable to just be yourself.
If you are looking for amazingly beautiful pictures of your family or child, I would highly recommend booking Shannon. She is great with dogs too and has taken adorable pictures of our two labs.
My husband and I adore the pictures that Shannon has taken of our family. We get the pleasure of having these momentos on our walls and cherishing them each day. We know that we will never get these precious moments back and capturing them with these gorgeous photos helps us appreciate this time in our life.
Shannon is also an AMAZING newborn photographer. Seeing her pictures makes me want to have another baby! When our blessed time comes, I will definitely be booking with Shannon.

I contacted Shannon by email to ask about scheduling a session for our daughter’s one year pictures. She replied promptly and worked with us to schedule a day and time that worked, even though that turned out to be challenging. She made helpful suggestions about what to wear and told us what to expect.
She did a great job with our daughter, bringing balloons, bubbles and a blanket to the park. We took some family pics although most were of the baby. I was very pleased with the pictures and received them promptly both via email and on dvd. They are edited nicely and I think she captured my daughter well. I even like the pictures of me, no small feat!
Great communication, willing to work with our schedule, a totally reasonable price, and beautiful pictures — I will definitely use Shannon again.

I think I’ve hired more professional photographers in the past 15 months than I have in my very long life. Ever since my daughter was born I’m all about the pics; she changes so much on a daily basis that I just want to document every second. I take tons of pictures with my not so fancy schmancy cannon camera, but it’s hard to get a good pic of a toddler who is always on the move. And so I leave it to the professionals…
I saw pics that Shannon had taken of my colleague’s niece and nephew. I was in awe of her photography skillz and immediately bookmarked her blog so I’d remember to contact her for Baby R’s next photo shoot. And I did just that for a few months later when Baby R was turning 15 months.
Shannon informed me that she liked to take pictures in natural light. The Floridian in me was not going to take pictures outside in February so we decided to find another option with natural light: The Garfield Park Conservatory.*
The Conservatory proved to be the perfect location for photos and Shannon turned out to be the perfect photographer. She had a great eye for what backgrounds would work in the conservatory, was fun to hang out with for an hour and was great with our little one. At one point she asked if she could take Baby R away from us for a few minutes so she could get a few good shots of her not hanging onto me (we have a bit of a separation anxiety problem). Baby R went with her without even a whimper. My husband turned to me after we gave our baby away and said «how well do you know this photographer?’ I replied «not well, but she seems nice and hopefully won’t steal our baby.» She returned minutes later with our smiling baby… phew!
I’m a bit impatient so it’s difficult for me to wait a few weeks to see photos so I was psyched to get a sneak peak of our photo shoot just hours after we got home. The six sneak peak photos that Shannon posted on facebook were so incredible that I got at least 20 calls/​emails from friends asking about this fabulous photographer. The rest of the 30+ edited images came two weeks later and they were just as incredible.
Our session with Shannon cost $ 200, which included all the edited images. She put them all on shutterfly (makes for easy ordering for the grandparents) and is also sending me a CD in the mail. I’m already looking forward to booking another session with Shannon!

Shannon is an amazing family photographer! She managed to capture priceless pictures of my squirmy 2 year old. I have received so many compliments on the pictures. She is very professional and loves children and knows how to make them feel comfortable. Her prices are very reasonable and she is such a perfectionist. Can’t wait to use her again for our next set of family pictures!
