Family looks different to everyone. Do you have a toddler running away from the camera? A large, lively family or a small quiet bunch? Is it you and your dog? However, wherever you are — is where I meet you. 

I work to create a comfortable vibe, tailored to you – which means you’ll receive beautifully original images that will help you easily remember this time of your life. 

I will meet the moment with tons of creativity, energy and ideas while staying open to the delightful winks of spontaneity. Let’s capture what is authentic to your family, and delight in both the romance and humor along the way. 

I hope that you feel welcomed here; that’s really important to me. Did I mention that I also hope you bring your dog? 

Let’s play and create together. Starting at $875

“Shewanders Photography are the masters of catching love and light. After years of working together, I am continuously blown away by their images. They have a way of nailing those charming real moments in between the perfectly composed checklist shots. Luxe Events recommends them to everyone, and choose them when we want THE best to photograph our own growing families.”  – Cara, multiple events and family sessions

Hi Suzanne, I've been meaning to thank you for the beautiful photos!  We love them so much and have been enjoying them on a continuous slideshow through the holidays.  We gifted framed prints to the grandparents for Christmas gifts & they loved them!   Thank you so much for capturing this special time in our lives.  We truly appreciate it and will treasure the memories for years to come. xoxo Steve + Abbey

OMG they are so beautiful! Thank you so much, Suzanne! I loooove them! -Whitney

The New Children’s Museum Collaboration is a delight.

Can you believe that we have the opportunity to photograph there when the museum is open only for us? Having a fun, private, safe space to photography yourself, your family, your pets in is such a dream come true for me. This is something we have on special days. The next event will be October 3rd 2023.

At home sessions have my heart.

I think there’s something so beautiful about having images captured in places where you love each other. I also think it’s so fun to have me meet you at your vacation house. I hope these images give you a peek into a few familes lives. Maybe they will inspire you to have your own family session. I look at these faces and I think how grateful I am that they trusted me enough to let me come in and capture their family life. I hope I made them feel as good looking at these images as I did getting to create them.
It’s super common that families have me capture them year after year. So in some instances you can watch the family get younger which is pretty cool. Some times we start at their house and end up going for a walk to the beach or the canyon near by. Some families like to mix it up as well. Maybe one year we photograph at their house and the next year we go to The Fairmont or Palm Springs.
