Anna called me within minutes of delivery. "Oh. my. God. I can't believe you made this. This feels like life insurance in the best way. Your work has so much value. Way more than $xxx." Words like these are why I tell stories. Life is unpredictable. And while in the moment one might question, how could I ever forget? You will. Memories fade. Anna and I first collaborated on a photo series back in 2019. Recently we met up again to add to that photo collection and record her audio story to build this 'Time Capsule' of her work as an artist. What's your story? Now booking family, event and professional storytelling sessions.

About us
As a photographer I have developed brand campaigns, documented events and had the privilege of being part of research teams studying everything from paper plates to power sports vehicles to patient experience in a Cancer ward. I document families in their natural habitats “doing” their daily life. It can be frivolous, sometimes dirty and occasionally heartbreaking. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

The thing about being the videographer is I typically don't have the camera pointed in my direction...thanks Sara Frailich for officially making me part of your day!

Behind the scenes with Jackie Colburn creating our LinkedIn Live & Podcast INSIGHT INSIGHT last week. I am so excited for the episode to come. So much to learn from this wise soul. Also thank you to our talented producer/storyteller extraordinaire Shannon Svensrud from Storied Life Pictures. As always we love meeting at The Coven for all its beauty and biophilia!

Upon starting this experiment with sound and photos woven together I can't stop seeing stories I want to tell! Got a story in mind? Need help building your story? I'm here for you. Telling stories feeds my soul. Let's tell stories together. xoxo, Shannon
From 2 hours of raw audio to two minutes of a story told. Hi. I’m Shannon and I am a Twin Cities based storyteller and photographer. I collect and collaborate on audio and photos, then weave them into a story you may not have expected. Let’s tell stories together.

Whether it's a business, brand, family or organization - connection is king.
No matter the assignment - it's always (ALWAYS) about human connection. #twincitiesstorytellingphotographer #photographer #eventphotography MILL CITY COMMONS

I am a values driven photographer. What's your North Star? OPENNESS, CURIOSITY, COLLABORATION, RESPECT This is how I approach your story. I am there to document, not direct. I get curious about you, about your lives. I will work damn hard to make sure I tell your story with the love and care it deserves. INTEGRITY, OPTIMISM, INTUITION, CREATIVITY I ask you to trust me. I will likely get real close at times, tell my one stupid joke, lay on your floor or ask “is it okay for me to stand on this chair?” all in the pursuit of reflecting back the beauty I see in front of me. LOYALTY II fall a little bit in love when we make photos together. I fall in love with the way you connect with those you love, and the smile you make when you forget the camera is there. I fall in love with the skinned knees and the worn teddy bears. I fall in love with your dreams. FORGIVENESS This one is for me. This is for the moment when I miss the shot. The one that I saw, but just couldn't get to fast enough. I forgive myself so I can continue to get curious and honor your day. [If you're curious about the cards shown in the photo - they are part of a values deck created by one of my favorite artists, Lisa Congdon. I've been revisiting them each year as a check-in on where I'm at - always, always interesting to see the slight shift in priorities.]

How fun to step into the ‘real’ world and be inspired by these two beautiful people.

"Shannon caught the morning light on that little scrap and made it a memory. It helped me savor my daughter’s messy creativity in a house I worry is always too dirty...I received more than just a gallery of amazing photos, but perspective on my life and family that helped me feel more connected to something bigger than our little bubble. " - Excerpt from a review by Timothy Foss

Sometimes my job is an act of empathetic listening. Other times more of a fly on the wall (especially when the session is being recorded). Either way, I’m a smarter and more well-versed human for listening and learning on the sly to those that I’m there to document. #alwayslearning
Data and numbers can’t replace the power of sitting down and truly listening to another human. Coffee Talk Episode 6 Featured Guest: Meagan Jamieson Host & Moderator: Sara Frailich Photo: Storied Life Pictures Space: Ciceron
