    "Shauna is really the best photographer there is! She is the most patient person on the planet. I was so impressed with how she was relaxed and laid back the entire time. She is a baby whisperer! Shauna has a creative eye and will truly give you high quality work. She listens to what you wnat and then creates a materpice.
