Aloha! I'm a wedding + portrait photographer who loves capturing + sharing in CA/HI + beyond! Hi hi!

Shanna here...I'm an LA/OC lifestyle photographer who squeals/giggles/jumps with joy when capturing weddings, events, maternity, newborns, families, seniors, Disneyland dates + my personal fave - random candids of my husband (he hates this!). I'm half-Japanese, half-Filipino, born + raised in the South Bay area of Los Angeles + love it so much, I never left.... + also because my mom would be heartbroken, haha! I am an avid fan of chatting over meals, exploring new dessert locations, 90s R+B, working ridiculously outdated slang into everyday conversation + I fully embrace my awkwardness when I pretend I'm cool enough to use current slang/lingo appropriately. Most often, it leaves my husband shaking his head at me in embarrassment.

Happy Halloween from my little corner of the internet!! 🎃👻

No costumes behind this camera today…just me, stayin outta the rain, swooning over last weekend’s holiday minis + all the sweet families who came out. But catch me tonight living my best spooky season life from my couch watching a scary movie or 2 while we celebrate tomorrow night with a belated Halloween Horror Night trip, so the spooky still continues 😂

However you’re celebrating…trick-or-treating, partying, or hiding inside with the porch light off (no judgment here! Haha) I hope it’s a good one. Stay safe + dry out there!! 🧡

Happy 1st Anniversary to these two!! I’ll never forget this day ~ the insane lush greenery made us all forget we were in California, the summer heat that had everyone glowing + the reception that turned into an all-out party. But the highlight? The groom + his crew ending up shirtless is still my favorite unplanned moment. Cheers to year one G+R!! Here’s to many many more!!

Want me to make it even shorter, more emotional, or more behind-the-scenes (like gear struggles, sweat, running around)?

For , it’s the last round for this beautiful session with A+R!

We waited a little longer to shoot this day to wait for that softer just before sunset light + it was so worth it!

Also, sometimes it might feel like a hassle or maybe the idea of “doing too much” might cross your mind but if you want a lil diversity in your session, bring a change of clothes!! It shifts the mood + feel of the images + it’s like two sessions in one!

If you’ve read this far, holiday session emails will be going out mid-August so mark your calendars + keep an eye open!!

Imagine you’re in one of the most miraculous seasons of your life. You’re creating + growing life - you know it’s such a beautiful thing. But you’re busy…You’re adjusting to your new body, you’re glowing but also tired, you’re preparing for the next chapter of your life, you’re building your nursery - but also in the back of your mind, you’re like - “Ahh, maternity photos - I want that!” But maybe you keep talking myself out of it because “I feel huge” or “what if I hate how I look?”

As a photographer, I’ve talked dozens of women off this exact ledge. I’ve see them light up when they get their gallery back + heard them say “I almost didn’t book this - I’m so glad I did” more times than I can count. I know the poses work, the light is gorg + the magic happens even when you feel awkward. But KNOWING it + FEELING it for yourself are two different things.

So this is me, publicly giving you a nudge. If you’ve done a session + loved it, throw a 🙌🏽 in the comments! If you’re a still unsure but have questions, shoot me a message + lets talk! If you’re a husband reading this + you want to score big time hubby points to highlight the mother of your child(ren) + show the world how amazing you know she is- let’s talk!!

Finally - HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST MOM/DAD!! Ashley Wong Groegler + "Ryan" Groegler - we are so happy on welcoming Baby J!! Wishing you all the love as you cherish these first moments as a fam of 3!! We love you!!

When I got into photography, I started out using the most accessible light - the sun. Depending on what time you shoot, the light will always look different + that allowed for variety in your images. The idea of studio light and the additional gear always intimidated me. So, I stayed in the same pocket for a lot of years - in my nice cozy corner of comfort.

Until I found where I was able to step into experimenting + exploring studio work while still having my old friend with me- natural light. 🤭 I definitely want to grow my knowledge of studio light but maaan, one step at a time!!

Photographing was so fun + such a breeze - I have so many images I want to share from this shoot! This was towards the end of the shoot + to wrap it up, I HAD to get a quick shot of her + her fav stylist…her mama!

If you’re in the South Bay area + are looking for a beautifully designed aesthetic studio space with lots of options for backdrops, I highly recommend ! And Roni - yeah, she cool I guess haha! But fr, she’s so amazing to work with + talk story with!! She’s always doing something in the studio so check out any workshops they have going on!

Sending love to all the mothers, mother figures, mama to be’s - you all are the some of the strongest, selfless + loving people I know! You are the glue that keeps schedules on track, your families organized + you somehow know where everything is. You sacrifice so much willingly for the joy of your family - I admire every mom I know 🥰

A special shout out to my cute lil mama…i love that she loves doing her lil shakas, finger hearts + peace signs. She’s my favorite person + my first call whenever I have chisme or news. She even listens to me talk about nothing…she’s generous + selfless - she’s always putting others before herself + 10/10 times, she’ll stop whatever she’s doing to watch me do silly things like swim in a pool 🤭

Happy Mother’s Day to the every day superheroes of our lives ♥️

Happy May Day aka Lei Day!! I definitely need to share more of this intimate celebration but I loved every little detail of S + D’s wedding. Can you believe they’re high school sweeties?! I think they could still pass as seniors- maybe super seniors….D’s stache gives it away 🤭

I love working with couples who are so intentional about incorporating personal + familial details that were specific to them as individuals as well as a couple. Plus, if you throw in a hula, 10 outta 10 times I’m crying beyond the lens - maybe I’m biased because I danced at my own but each dance shares it’s own story that’s special to the couple + I’ll never not be sentimental about it!
