Kaitlynn: A model in the making!

We had the opportunity to work with this lovely young lady last month. Kaitlynn is an aspiring model and we helped her get started by taking some head shots in the studio and some beautiful outdoor photographs. If you have a child or a teen that is hoping to start a modeling career, but don't know what the first step is, we can help! We have the resources to provide you with the portraits you need to begin your journey as a model!  

Email Devon at: devon.shanor@gmail.com and inquire about our sessions today!

We hope to hear from you soon!

Shayna & Dan: Engaged!

We met this sweet couple, Shayna & Dan, for a sunset engagement shoot and had a wonderful time strolling around Stumpy Lake until the sun slipped away for the evening. It was fabulous getting the chance to know them a little bit better before their wedding day! We like seeing people in love!

They're such a lovely pair & we can't wait to photograph their wedding this Saturday. Congratulations, Shayna & Dan!

Happy September!

Hello, Internetland! My name is Cherylyn & I'm so happy to be a part of the Devon Shanor Photography team! 

For the last few months I've been working with Devon & helping her grow her photography business! As her assistant, you'll be seeing me around... so I thought I should introduce myself to you lovely readers, Devon's clients & friends!

Sometimes I help Devon with office work: organizing, planning, brainstorming & writing. We get inspired for future projects & bounce creative ideas off of each other. We make a pretty excellent team, in my opinion!

I tag along on most photoshoots, so if you book a session with Devon, you'll probably meet me too. I carry & set up equipment, assist with lighting, props, and posing ideas!

When she needs a second camera around, I'm usually Devon's second shooter... I've had the pleasure of taking photos during family, engagement, & portrait sessions, as well as weddings & other events.

Sometimes I'm Devon's posing guinea pig & she puts me in awkward positions so she can figure out the lighting situation. We're always laughing... and having a blast & a half! And I think her clients have lots of fun too!

Occasionally, one of my jobs is to edit photos from a session. We both love stylized, out-of-the-box photo shoots... so if you're in the mood for a magical, whimsical, or themed shoot, I might end up editing your INSPIRED photographs!

As a media & social networking specialist, I'll be in charge of keeping Devon connected & accessible to all of you social media savvy friends! I'll be taking care of this blog here until the new Devon Shanor Photography website is ready for it's big reveal! (It's coming soon!) 

Devon's Twitter page is up & running... so what are you waiting for?! Follow her here: @DevonShanor!

And you can follow me in the land of Twitter here: @Electro_CEE --- I'll be posting behind the scenes photos & stories from our photographic adventures from both accounts & we'd love to have you along for the ride! 

I'm honored to be here & I can't wait to make new friends! Whether you're a faithful past client or completely new to Devon Shanor Photography, we're glad you found us!!!

Love,

Cherylyn
