ABOUT ME
Hey hey there! I’m Shantel. The lady behind the camera.
With over 14 years experience as a fine art portrait photographer specializing in hair and makeup, my mission is to create transformative, visually striking imagery that celebrates the intersection of artistry, self-expression, and beauty. I strive to craft each photograph as a timeless work of art, where every detail— from the makeup brush to the lighting— enhances the unique personality and essence of my subjects. Through careful collaboration, I aim to elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary, creating portraits that not only capture the surface but also tell deep, compelling stories. With a focus on creativity, precision, and authenticity, I am committed to delivering an experience that empowers and inspires, transforming each session into a celebration of individuality and artistic expression.
The creation process is so powerful for me. I love capturing the beauty of life. Of your life. Each one is so intrinsically unique. Each journey looks completely different for each person. Each engagement, wedding, Birth, babyhood, childhood and senior year, even into our geriatric years have a beautiful story to tell.
As a busy single momma of 3, I understand the importance of capturing these moments that pass by all too quickly. My role as a mother has changed my perspective on life and have really taught me just how fast this time goes. Those 18 summers are so precious and I have made it my mission to freeze time.
