Welcome to my little corner of the world! I’m Shannon, a wife and mom who loves soaking up the sunshine and wild, Kansas wind at our dream house out in the country where we have room to play and pray. We have three kiddos that range in age from grade school to high school so I understand and live the busy mom life everyday! We love country living and are looking forward to adding chickens and horses to our little homestead. Because who doesn’t love a little more busy and a whole lot more mud to clean up? The eggs and trail rides will be *totally* worth it. When I’m not running my kiddos to activities or dashing off to a photo shoot, you can often find me curled up in my favorite place—my front porch. There is just no better view. Whether it’s watching my kids laugh and play or viewing the splendor of a prairie sunset, my heart is always full taking in all of the wonders His many masterpieces. It’s the best place to slow down and breath in this beautiful life.
I like to say that my days are fueled with coffee and Jesus :-) And, if I’m lucky, I sometimes get a peaceful, rainy morning to enjoy them on the porch. I love gluten-free pizza and naps. Not necessarily in that order. Naps.are.the.best. And while we may be land-locked here in Oz, I jump at any chance to enjoy some boat time at the lake.
I love being a photographer because it allows me to stop time and capture those moments that will be treasured forever. As I watch my own babies grow up I look at them and realize how much I treasure those photos of them as littles. It’s the only way I have to stop time and keep a tiny piece of them little forever. I love, love, love my kids so much. They are what drive me to capture these moments for myself and all the other mamas out there. I create the photos that bring those feelings rushing back to you—the smell of your newborn’s head. The giggle of your toddler. The profound sense of wonder at the birth of your child. The pride of the parenting culmination that led to the high school senior before you. I just love, love. These are the raw, deep moments that define families and need to be treasured.
These are the moments I love. These are the moments I capture. This is why I love what I do.
Send me a message and let’s capture lightening in a bottle together.
xo,
Shannon
“Oh darling don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up. Just stay this little” . ~Taylor Swift
Life moves so fast. Babies are born, families grow, loved ones leave us before we are ready. At every stage of life we love to look at the photos that are our personal history. Professional photography is an investment in that personal history that captures and keeps the moments that slip through our fingers. I love to document the fleeting little moments for families to treasure forever with gorgeous professional images and products to cherish for generations to come.
You’ve dreamed of this moment for so long and now you are preparing to meet your new little one. You’ve read the books and taken the classes. You painted rooms and made lists of names. You’ve prayed for heartbeats and health. And now the due date is approaching.
My passion is to capture this incredible day. I. Love. Babies. I stay in the background while capturing the feelings and emotions of labor and delivery. This is your day—the physical and emotional journey of you and your partner to welcome your new little one into this world. I document without intruding or interfering. These moments are fleeting, filled with apprehension, pain and joy. But they culminate with the greatest moment of celebration—the birth of your precious baby. I quietly capture those moments for you to treasure for a lifetime.

Family portraits tell our stories. They show who gave you that dimple and where those blue eyes came from. I love to capture the connection in a family. It’s all about the giggles, smiles and cuddles. I coach you into natural interactions with your family for real, authentic smiles and reactions. These sessions tug at my heart strings and it’s not unusual for me to tear up while working on the images later. These are the times of ring around the rosie, smelling the flowers and all the hugs and kisses possible. Let me capture these moments. They grow up so fast but they will always stay little in these lifestyle family portraits.

“Having Shannon be a part of the birth of our son is one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I would recommend Shannon Schneider photography in a heartbeat. From maternity pictures to our birthing session to new born pictures to a family session. I can’t imagine not having Shannon in the delivery room. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. You are the best!”
