“Shannen was incredible to work with.
I’ve never had professional photos done so felt a bit nervous but was totally put at ease with Shannen’s friendly and laid back but professional approach.
I received so many great images from the session to use throughout my branding. Highly recommend!
Thanks again Shannen!”

Hearken Performance
〰️
“I've had a great experience working with Shannen, and came back when I had a restyle.
She made time to understand my brand and intentions behind my images, and it was easy to relax with her low key, low equipment style.
Shannen did everything she could to make me look fabulous and I would not hesitate to recommend her brand photography work if you're in Kent or visiting Thanet. Thank you Shannen!”

She makes the whole experience so enjoyable and the photos are incredibly high quality.
I have utilised the images produced in two shoots across my website, Instagram, podcast, blog and have sent out to press enquires.
So much value created from two sessions - I cannot wait for the next one.”

Positive and charming, she helps you to settle into the general awkwardness of a photo shoot and the results are always amazing!
I always refer people to Shannen when they are looking for photos, and she never disappoints!”

“I am over the moon with the photos I have received from my shoot with Shannen at my home studio space.I was very nervous before the shoot but Shannen was lovely to work with and made me feel completely at ease! There was a perfect balance of her guiding me and bringing ideas of what would look good, but also giving me the space to ask for specific shots, and making sure that I got everything that I wanted during our time. The photos were delivered very quickly and I feel that their amazing quality really ups my game when putting my small business out there.”

“Shannen made me feel at ease and listened to my ideas.The shoot was really fun and I’m super happy with the results. As someone who isn’t a fan of posed portraits of myself, the final photos look candid and relaxed - just what I wanted!
I now have lots of images to use for my new business.”
