While pregnant with Charlie I booked a shoot with Shannon and am so thankful I did. I was wanting some maternity photos taken that would capture my bump but also ones that would be a keepsake and snapshot in time for years to come. At 38 weeks pregnant, we met Shannon at Raglan with our Golden Retriever, Ryder. As the sun was beginning to set we walked along the beach chatting away to Shannon while she worked her magic behind the camera. Posing for photos was not our thing but she made us feel relaxed, or as relaxed as we could be while being the centre of attention. Once we received the gallery of photos we were absolutely blown away! They were so much more than I expected them to be. There were so many beautiful shots that it made deciding which ones to frame and put on the wall so hard to choose. We can not thank her enough for documenting such a special time in our lives through precious photos that we will truly cherish for ever.
