The reporter in me!

After having a conversation with my husband and my brother last night, I am rethinking about some additional items that I can add to Shannon Hage Photography. I spent nearly five years of my life in a television news room. I loved being a producer and most of all reporter, having the opportunity to share the lead story of the day with our viewing audience. I still have that looming desire to tell a good story; but now, that desire is without"if it bleeds it leads" as my guiding motto; meaning- less violence, chaos, crime/punishment, and more happiness, love, clarity and what truly seems to matter in life!
I believe that my photos are more than just a great pose and a click with my trigger finger. I never stop clicking. My favorite moments are those that are captured and between the poses.

So, with that, I am going to make sure that my clients get their story told thru the eye of my lens but also a narrative describing their photography experience ( thru this once roving reporter's eyes).

Addison is 2

I am really beginning to see some beautiful people on a regular basis!

You would not believe how much fun I am having. Addison is a gorgeous two year old who walked up to me and said "Hello," and followed it up with a hug.

Her personality is as vibrant as the colors on her tutu and matching shoes!

Hope you had a beautiful 2nd birthday, Miss Addison!

The Marton Beauties!

As I started my business, I had a contest to give away a free photo shoot! I had the most amazing subjects in the Marton Sisters! Riley, 2 and Kaiya was around 7 or 8 months.

I became my photographer's photographer!

Gary Helland is an amazing photographer! He has a gift for catching the beauty of his subjects while they are celebrating life. Gary was my wedding photographer. He snapped so many beautiful pictures of our day! So, when Gary asked me to take pictures for him, photos that he had hoped to use for his book and other marketing materials, I was completely HONORED!

Here are a few.

Avery Ellis, 6 Months

This little guy was so adorable! I love that age when a baby becomes a little curious person! Avery was so fun to take pictures of. He had great expressions, a lot of smiles and very loving parents!
