Hello, I'm shanel

I'm a driven creative person who also happens to be a photographer! I'm a Chicagoland-based photographer who is open to traveling. I specialize in event, portrait, and family photography.
Here are some interesting facts about me: I love to take my own professional headshots, I love to change up my hairstyles frequently, I'm a homebody, I love to teach, I occasionally go fishing, and the "golden" hours—when the sun is rising or setting—are my favorite times to take outside photos.
