Hi, I’m Shanti! I’m a photographer, graphic designer, wife, and mama of two. I make photographs for people who want to remember how this season of life felt, not just what everyone looked like.

Before photography became my full-time work, I spent years as a graphic designer working with advertising agencies, marketing teams, and brands. That world taught me to notice the little things: how light changes a mood, how color tells a story, and how one honest moment can say more than a perfectly planned image. I bring all of that creative experience, and my whole heart, to every session.

My love for photography goes back even further. My dad gave me my first DSLR camera, a gift that opened up a whole new way for me to create. Years later, becoming a mom made me see photographs differently. The tiny details you think you’ll never forget have a way of changing overnight. I know because I’m trying to hold on to them in my own family, too.

That’s the heart behind my work. I’ll guide you when you need it, give you room to be yourselves, and welcome the laughter, the movement, and the wonderfully real moments in between. Whether I’m photographing your growing family, a baby on the way, or your first days at home together, I want you to leave with images that feel beautiful, alive, and unmistakably you.

“She captures the moments and emotions we never want to forget.”

Kind Words from my Clients

  • Micaela Longman-Perez

    “Working with Shanti is always an amazing experience. She is kind, patient, professional, and makes every session feel comfortable, special, and never rushed; like spending time with a friend. She creates such a fun and positive atmosphere that our photographs feel natural and genuinely like us. I especially love how she captures the little moments and emotions we may not notice at the time, preserving memories we’ll cherish for years. If you’re considering booking a session, book her, you will not regret it!”

  • Elena Trani

    “I first met Shanti in 2023 when she captured beautiful generational photographs with my dad, and I’ll always be grateful to have those memories with my parents. Since then, Shanti and Eric have photographed so many special moments for our family, from fall minis to a surprise maternity session. They make my children feel comfortable and always bring out their genuine smiles. Shanti’s artistic eye and editing are truly unlike any other photographer I’ve worked with. We can’t wait to continue having Shanti and Eric capture our family as it grows.”

  • Brittany Settler

    “We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our son’s first birthday and cake-smash session. From the beginning, Shanti was prepared, kind, welcoming, and professional. She remembered every detail we shared about our family, and that thoughtfulness made all the difference. Her warmth and patience made our son feel so comfortable and happy, and she captured our family perfectly. We’ll cherish these photographs forever!”
