Hi, everyone! My wife and I have merged our photography businesses and will go to one website. I will no longer be keeping my client galleries prior to 2022, so I am offering a sale on digital image sets now through February 21, after which time they will no longer be available. Please text Shannon at 205-861-4053 to order your set! Our work can now be viewed on the page Shannon Franklin Photography, and I encourage you to go check it out and like it! We are still taking photos, so give us a call to schedule your next session!

These are my sweet friends and we were so excited to take their family photos! This family just takes life in stride and laughs their way through and I am learning much from their example. We love you guys and are praying the best for your family!

Thanks for your help with this wedding- amazing work as always! So glad you aren't my competition ;-)

We had an incredible time photographing Rebekah and Vaughn's wedding on their family farm! You guys were incredible to work with and you have a great family who welcomed us in! I would like to give a shout out to the bride, who made her own wedding cake and it was amazing... also to my friend Melissa Wilson who did a fantastic job with the flowers!

Love the beautiful shots you got- thank you so much for your help!

It's not often that I get to photograph a wedding for someone I helped to bring into the world in my other life as a Labor and Delivery nurse, much less when it's the son of your best friend :-) So this wedding was a double blessing to us, to be able to be a part of the lives of others who have meant so much to us for many years! Maegan and John Robert (aka Johnny), you guys were great and had a beautiful day despite the rain! Congratulations and we wish you the best!

Thanks for your help with this shoot!

When Jessie told me they wanted to surprise their parents with photos for Christmas, we were so excited to be able to meet with them. It's even more special that these people are a part of our church family as well! Love you guys so much!

Thanks for your help with this shoot!

I have to give a shout out to this sweet family who trusted me when I said, "Oh we can work around the rain- it will be just fine!" About 15 minutes into our session the bottom fell out and we had to get creative, and these guys weren't afraid to get a little wet! John and Rachel, your crew was so much fun and thank you for letting us continue to photograph your family!

Thanks for your help with this session- beautiful work as always!

We had such a great time getting to know this sweet couple! Rebekah and Vaughn wanted to have their session at their home and what a beautiful location it was- complete with pets Kitty Kitty and Peaches joining in for the fun! You guys were wonderful to work with and we are looking forward to your big day!

AnnaStewart and Taylor were scheduled to be wed in April, but thanks to Covid things didn't work out that way. Not letting it get them down, we scheduled a wedding session in their wedding clothes, complete with getting ready and a First Look! AnnaStewart and Taylor, we had a great time and wish you the best in your future together!
Special thanks to Donovan Inn for letting us use their beautiful venue!

Thanks for your help with this session- beautiful work!

We were especially honored to shoot Maegan and John Robert's engagement session and look forward to their upcoming wedding in December! Many of you don't know this, but in my previous life I was a labor and delivery nurse and was able to take care of my best friend for the birth of John Robert. Needless to say, I have known him for quite a while! You guys are great and we had such a good time working with you! Love you both!!
