Portrait Photography

Photography is my life’s calling. It is my passion that drives my work and lifelong client relationships. Most of my clients do not come from model backgrounds which inspires a certain realness in our exchange. It can be as easy as carrying a six-pack and hiking to the wildflower fields on a cozy summer evening. I believe you’ve found me for a reason and I’m excited to share your vision. 

Shanaz was seriously incredible! She helped two awkward photo-takers look totally not awkward in our pictures!!! They were beautiful. She's a lot of fun and really puts you at ease."

"If you see me, I always have a small smile on my face. Why? I count my lucky stars I’m able to do this every damn day."

"She is personable, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot. The photos themselves came out beautifully, and with such great quality. I’m so thankful she was able to capture special moments throughout the shoot that displayed our love naturally."
