HI, I’m SHANI!
I’m a former Architect turned Photographer based in Fort Collins, CO. After becoming a mom, I quickly fell in love with capturing photos of my family. It started with my daughter, then other couples, newborns, and families soon followed!
My work favors natural images inspired by joy and authentic connection. I love working with people of all ages and backgrounds, and am a firm believer that sessions should be a relaxed, fun experience where you can be yourself! Whether it’s a play-filled afternoon in the park, or a quiet morning at home, my goal is to freeze those precious moments of connection.
When I’m not behind the lens, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, cooking, or enjoying time with family. If you’d like to work together, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to connect and create some beautiful photos!
WHY IT MATTERS
To me, photography is more than just taking beautiful images — it's about preserving fleeting moments that tell a story. As a mom, I know how quickly time passes, how small details — a look, a laugh, a hug — can become treasured memories. Capturing those honest, everyday connections is my way of helping families hold onto what matters most.
I believe everyone deserves to see their love, their joy, and their story reflected back in a way that feels honest and timeless. This is why I’m drawn to natural light, candid emotion, and the imperfect beauty of real life.
My hope is that years from now, you’ll look back on your photos and not only remember how things looked — but how it all felt.
