Hello, I'm shanel

I’m a Chicagoland-based photographer who loves capturing people in a way that feels real and natural. I specialize in portrait, and event photography, and I’m always open to traveling for sessions.

A little about me. I love taking my own professional headshots, switching up my hairstyles whenever I feel like it, and I’m definitely a homebody. I also enjoy teaching art. And if you know me, you know I love the golden hour, that time right around sunrise or sunset when the lighting is just perfect.
