HI, I’m SHANI!
I’m a Fort Collins family photographer serving families and newborns across Northern Colorado. With a professional background in architecture and design, I bring a trained creative eye to my images. After becoming a mom, I quickly fell in love with capturing photos of my family. It started with my daughter, then other newborns, expecting parents, 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 camera, you’ll find me outdoors, cooking, or soaking up time with my family. If you’re looking for images that feel genuine and timeless, I’d love to connect and create something beautiful together.
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.
