More about Shawn S....
What do you love about your job?
I love taking great pictures, great pictures of everybody. My goal is to take my clients next favorite picture of themselves and have fun doing it. The greatest part for me is the moment the client realizes the session is going to be fun. This split second is sometimes a large sigh or a comfortable laugh when everyone understands they are in good hands.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
One of my favorite shoots was an engagement shoot on the beach at Stoney creek in the middle of February. The snow and ice on the sand was perfect, the couple snuggled in a blanket that they ran up and down the beach with. Most folks wouldn't think a beach in the middle of winter would be a great shoot, but the secret is, its not the location, it's the people.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
One of my cinematic pictures was featured in the coffee table book "The Detroit Library: An American Classic" The book is an in-depth biography of the majestic century old Library which is one of the most beautiful buildings in Detroit. My picture is the one with all of the storm troopers and Darth Vader.
