Hi! I’m Shawna, a portrait and event photographer originally from Oregon, now based in Berkeley, California. I studied photography at Portland State University and have been passionate about taking photos for as long as I can remember. My favorite styles include lifestyle, cinematic, documentary, and candid photography.

I believe in creating a welcoming and fun atmosphere during photoshoots, which allows me to capture the unique personalities and inner glow of my subjects.

Beyond photography, I love laughing, connecting with people, costumes, music, and all things vintage - plus cooking! My goal is to create beautiful, high-quality images that you’ll cherish forever. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

My dad introduced me to photography. This is a self portrait of us by the Applegate river.
