Shannon was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. We chose the beach picnic proposal package, and she made the entire process feel easy and stress free. Communication was excellent the whole way through, and she was always friendly, responsive, and professional. We were staying at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, and Shannon coordinated directly with the hotel team and even handled the beach permits, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. Everything was set up perfectly and went even better than I imagined. In person, she was incredibly kind, helpful, and organized. I proposed two days ago, and it turned out absolutely perfect. I attached a few photos Shannon took on our iPhone while we wait for the professional photos to come later. Highly recommend Shannon if you’re planning a proposal or special event in Hawaii. Truly outstanding work.

WE LOVE CREATION SWELLS! Shannon is amazing. She was so professional, so prepared. She offered a packages in so many different price ranges, that it made it much easier to just enjoy the process. (Instead of thinking these are really expensive don’t mess them up! the whole time.) She knew the best location, got permits, gave the best directions to where we were going, had all the poses, was open to anything we wanted. She really captured our love for each other. It was HARD to pick which ones we wanted for sure because we wanted them all!! She far exceeded our expectations, and these are the best souvenir because we cannot stop looking at them, and going back to island for just a moment. I completely recommend her for your pictures needs on the Big Island. We’d love to come back and shoot with her again!!

We loved Shannon. She made the session fun for all of us and was truly creative as well. Even those in our group who don’t like having their picture taken were very impressed with and enjoyed the session! Mahalo Shannon!

10/10 Would Recommend! Shannon is a professional, experienced, talented photographer and was such a pleasure to work with!!! She went above and beyond to take time to discuss our engagement photo desires and style. Her images have brought so much joy to my fiance and me, but also many times over to our friends and family with whom we shared our photos. (It is featured on our wedding website!) Coming from out of state, Shannon made us feel completely comfortable by providing guidance on recommended shooting locations, knowledge on required permits, and selected perfectly romantic settings for an engagement photoshoot. She gave us fun, playful prompts and ideas to capture our genuine selves. We love the colors and the images of us amongst cherry blossom trees with roses, and a sunset proposal on the beach. Thank you Shannon for being a special part of our love story!

Shannon was fantastic to work with! We wanted to capture beach photos of our family vacation & they turned out wonderful. She worked with us on location options, timing, etc., and kept us well informed. We had so many great photos to choose from, we couldn’t have been happier!
