One of my favorite things about being a photographer is watching “my” babies grow. I really don’t know where the time goes. I photographed this little one when she was brand new and just had her one year session at the studio the other day. I have photographed big brother several times and it was so nice to see them again. Baby “E” was a little unsure of me at first but soon warmed up. Big brother was so good and we got some great stuff of him too!
Baby “E” brand new…
and now…
I have been super busy in the new studio. Lots and lots of babies 
It really is starting to feel like home. Thanks to all of you who stop by to see what’s new here on the blog and sorry my posts have been few and short. I’m on facebook, look me up I’d love to be friends I tend to post more on facebook as it’s easier and can do it right from my phone. I think there is a plugin that I can add to my blog to make it easy to join my friends list but don’t have the time to sit down and figure it out so hopefully that will happen soon.
Their adventure has begun and I’ll be posting images of the new addition in a day or two. Stay tuned…
I photographed little “K” a few months ago and one of my favorite shots (and moms too) was this one…
So while I was proofing this session and came across this one I thought, WoW! There is something about this little beauty when she looks down and to the side that captivates me. Just an innocence about it that I love…
Now, I have many, many favorites from this session. Way too many to post. I could have photographed her all day! I’m looking forward to our summer session with her brothers. The morning of the session mom e-mailed concerned about the amount of natural light and that the grass was going to be wet. Well, I convinced her that the light would be fine and we just needed some props to get her off the ground. I brought a chair and asked if she had an old wagon. Luckily grandma had saved the wagon from when “K”’s mom was little and we got to use it. She also had the old wooden rocking chair that worked out perfectly.
Here are just a few of the gallery full of beautiful images…
Look at those lashes!
Sooo big!
Happy 1st birthday “K”!
A tribute to all the mother’s out there. Happy Mother’s Day from Shannon Walton Photography!
choosing images to post from this family session!! This isn’t even a sneak peek I had such a hard time!
Mom e-mailed after the session to say it was the most fun they have ever had getting their photos taken!! Made my day AND made for some amazing captures! Thank you “J” family it was a pleasure working with you!
I love baseball season! I’m always sad when it ends. We are very busy with 2 boys playing but I love every minute of it! I love capturing the action, just love it! Freezing the motion and even better the ball in mid air (and sometimes the player) is one of my favorite things to shoot. My boys are way over me photographing them for regular portraits but love it when I shoot them playing. They’ll even yell over at me during the game when they’ve made a play or hit the ball and say, “Did you get that mom?”. Here are a few of Kyle and I’ll post some of Ryan in a bit.
I love the pure determination on his face!
and the sheer joy when he tags home (well hopefully he actually got his foot down)
Playing 3rd base…he was ready for this grounder but it took a bad hop as you can see. Way to use your body Kyle!
Oh, he was good to me. He slept the entire session! Here are a few of my faves..
Just 4 more and he will look me in the eyes!! When did this happen?
I found a couple images from the very first time Ryan met his little brother Kyle in the hospital. The second is one of my very favorites. His reaction to meeting him is priceless! I am so thankful someone had the camera ready! He is 3 years old in these…
Now look at him…
I love designing books. Each one custom, each one telling your child’s unique story. I just put together a first year story book for one of my little clients. It was really cool to see how much she had grown in just one year as you turned each page. I have clients who do a book for each session. What a keepsake! I know I haven’t been so good about updating Emma’s baby book and would have loved to of had one for her first year. Maybe that can be my winter project!!!
We can include quotes, things they say, messages from you to them, the options are endless. I decided to photograph this book when it came in so you could see it.
We also offer 5×5 brag books which are perfect for putting in your handbag and showing off your little ones to family and friends.
