The B Family

I loved hanging out with this fantastic family!  We had so much fun doing a mini session in downtown Madison.

Character Set 5

In the past few weeks I have released set 1, set 2 , set 3 and set 4 of my photo-series "Character".  Now it is time for my last set, set 5.  We are missing one picture from the series due to technical difficulties,  hopefully sometime in the next month or so we will be able to finish the 20th picture, so for today, we have the final 3 pictures

As before,  I would love for you to share the pictures but please give me credit, and a link back would be nice.   If you are interested in purchasing a print of your favorite character they are available as 12"x18" prints. Please contact me at Shannon@photographybyshannon.com for ordering information. 

Ms. Valerie Frizzle
-Joanna Cole
The Magic School Bus

Ms. Frizzle is a brilliant teacher, immersing her students (often literally!) in the subjects they are studying in class. She is brave, kind, thoughtful, and brings magic into the lives of the people around her. She is very knowledgeable, and has a keen scientific mind. She encourages her students, and herself, to explore the world and learn something new, every day.




Wendy Moira Angela Darling
-J.M. Barrie
Peter Pan

Wendy is kind and nurturing. She is also adventurous and smart and willing to see the magic in the world around her.  She has a great imagination. She is an excellent storyteller and gets along very well with her younger siblings. She is on the edge between childhood and adulthood, and afraid to grow up, but her experiences with Peter teach her that maybe growing up can be good after all.

Ramona Quimby

-Beverly Cleary

The Ramona Collection

Ramona has a great imagination and is very curious about the world around her. She loves to learn, read, and draw. She loves her family and tries to prove that she can be depended upon. She is eager to prove her maturity (though things don’t always go as she has planned). She is resilient and willing to try again, even when things go wrong.

Character set 4

In the past few weeks I have released set 1 and set 2 and set 3 of my photo-series "Character".  Now it is time for set 4.  

As before,  I would love for you to share the pictures but please give me credit, and a link back would be nice.   If you are interested in purchasing a print of your favorite character they are available as 12"x18" prints. Please contact me at Shannon@photographybyshannon.com for ordering information. 

Madeline
-Ludwig Bemelmans 
Madeline

Though Madeline is the smallest of the 12 girls in her story, she is the bravest. She is independent and isn’t afraid to take on injustice when she sees it. Her spunky nature keeps her elders on their toes, but everyone has a soft spot in their heart for this adventurous young woman.



Anne Shirley
-L.M. Montgomery
Anne of Green Gables

Anne loves books and has a wonderful imagination. Everything she sees becomes transformed into a magical world of wonder and amazement. She happily brings her friends and family along into her enchanting worldview, spreading love, delight, and wonderment throughout her community. She is bright, optimistic, kind, imaginative,
and loving.

Laura Ingalls
-Laura Ingalls Wilder
The Little House on the Prairie

Laura is resilient, smart, and curious. She takes delight in small pleasures and recognizes the beauty in the everyday. She is courageous and dependable, and helps to care for her family as they move about the country. She isn't afraid to work hard, and she doesn't give up. She creates a good life for herself wherever she ends up.




Sara Crewe
-Frances Hodgson Burnett 
A Little Princess 

Sara is the picture of resilience. No matter how grim things get, her hopeful heart reminds her that she will get through the difficulties and be okay. She is smart, she is generous, she is kind, and she is a champion for others. She is a natural giver. She gives of her material possessions, yes, but even more, she gives of her heart. She is a storyteller, and she creates a better world for herself and those around her through the stories she tells.

Twin Seniors!

Today I had an awesome time photographing these two beautiful senior girls.  They  were so fun to hang out with!
