Shana Watkins Photography

I dreamed of having a portrait like this done as soon as I became a mom ? @shanawatkinsstl made my dreams come true! From the initial meeting till the final product reveal, it was an amazing experience and my daughter Piper will remember it forever. I told my husband we needed to move so I had a proper foyer for it ?

Shana is simply the best. Initially, we asked her to take Senior photos of our younger son and we were so incredibly delighted with the portraits we circled back and asked her to take photos of our older son.
