My photography style is characterized by capturing genuine and candid moments. I believe in preserving the natural emotions and interactions of the subjects, whether it's a spontaneous laugh or a heartfelt glance. This approach ensures that the images evoke real feelings and tell authentic stories.
I am experienced in working with a variety of lighting situations, from bright outdoor settings to dimly lit indoor venues. I use a combination of professional equipment and techniques to adapt to each scenario, ensuring that I capture the best possible shots while maintaining the desired mood and ambiance.

"I am very pleased with the service I was provided on my Wedding day! Shannel is very professional & understanding of her client's needs. I made some last-minute changes as to how I wanted the flow of my wedding portraits to be taken, and Shannel went above & beyond what was asked of her. I am happy I booked with Shannel Monique Portraits for my wedding!
The best part, we got our wedding photos back in a timely manner. She captured ALL of the special moments I requested! The added BONUS was getting those photos I didn't even think of, which proved that Shannel is a great photographer!
- A Very Happy Bride ❤"
