At SMC Photography, my services are designed to go far beyond simply taking photos — I create meaningful, soulful experiences that capture your story with intention, artistry, and emotion. Every session is tailored to highlight real moments, natural connection, and genuine personality.
π£ Newborn Photography
Tender, timeless, and heartfelt.
I specialize in capturing the tiny details — the little hands, soft expressions, sleepy stretches, and new-parent magic. Sessions can be styled, lifestyle, or a beautiful mix of both, ensuring memories you’ll cherish forever.
β€οΈ Family Photography
Joyful, relaxed, and full of love.
Whether it’s a playful outdoor session, a cozy in-home moment, or a big family gathering, I focus on real interactions that show your true connection — not stiff poses.

Emotion-driven storytelling for your love in all its stages.
From date-night style shoots to adventurous sessions in nature, I capture authentic chemistry and genuine moments that feel like you.

For the adventurous and the romantic.
Whether your day is in the heart of NYC, the Hudson Valley mountains, or a unique location, I document the emotion, the details, and the once-in-a-lifetime moments with an artistic eye.

From celebrations to milestones.
Birthdays, baby showers, bar nights, business events — I blend candid storytelling with beautiful detail shots so you can relive every moment.

The person behind the lens -
Hi, I’m Shannon —
I am the photographer and founder behind SMC Photography.
My journey started back in high school, where I first fell in love with capturing moments. But everything changed in 2020 when I bought a camera for a road trip. Somewhere between the open roads, endless skies, and breathtaking views… photography shifted from something I loved to something that felt like my purpose.
I’ve always had a natural eye — drawn to colors, light, people, emotions, and the beauty most people pass by. I’m artistic, creative, and spiritual, and I bring that energy into every session. My goal is to help people feel confident, inspired, and comfortable in front of the camera — whether we’re shooting in nature, dancing at a party, or bringing a wild creative idea to life.
I’ve photographed birthday parties, small weddings, newborns, families, food, mini sessions, creative concepts, and more. I love expanding my horizons and exploring new styles, because every session teaches me something new about storytelling.
Outside of photography, I’m a proud Local 279 Carpenter, currently in school building my career. I’m married, I love to travel, I love to dance, and I’m always chasing the next great view.
Photography isn’t just what I do — it’s how I connect with the world and capture the magic in everyday moments.
I can’t wait to capture yours next πΈ
Shannon doesn’t just take photos — she turns moments into mini masterpieces! πΈβ¨
I’ve shot with her before, and trust me, she brings all the good vibes, all the creativity, and somehow catches the best angles even when you’re laughing mid-sentence. If you want photos that feel fun, fresh, and totally you, Shannon’s your girl! π

Shannon has a gift for making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Even our little ones, who can be a handful, are so comfortable with her, which results in the most natural and beautiful shots. She truly has an eye for detail and knows how to capture those special, candid moments that we'll treasure forever. We're so grateful to have Shannon as our family photographer. Her work is not only beautiful but also so personal and meaningful. I highly recommend SMC Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented and a joy to work with!
