Welcome! My name is Shawna Hess & I'm the owner of Shawna Rae Photography. I'm a Southwest Virginia/Northeast Tennessee based photographer & I specialize in weddings, lifestyle, & newborn photography. My husband is my best friend & I owe the start of my business to him. Shout out to you, boo! I have two beautiful babies -- Ryleigh (5, unspoken assistant) and Gabriel (1). I have a very unhealthy obsession with Alani Nu energy drinks and cringy reality tv. I have the accent of a true southern belle (so I'm told) & it's something I'll never be ashamed of. I am loud and hyper 90% of the time. The other 10% is dedicated to tiptoeing through the house while my smallest human sleeps. I will hype you up the entire session. Seriously. You'll see.. Anyway, I'm inspired by laughter and love. I never want to miss a second of the beauty this world has to offer. I love golden hour & when the light peaks through the trees. I love rich colors and all grainy photos. That's it. That's all I've got. Talk soon.
