THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Thanks to everyone who responded to my call for models. The response was overwhelming! I am so excited to get started. There are so many cuties to photograph. I am still looking for 1-newborn and 1-6 month old. If you know anyone who is getting ready to have a baby and would like a FREE session...have them contact me ASAP! Same for the 6 month old! Get your niece or nephew, grand baby or a neighbor's kid to take advantage of this before it's too late. Contact me at shanawhipple@hotmail.com

The first modeling session is scheduled for next week so I will post a preview as soon as they are ready!

Thanks again to everyone who responded! You are all fabulous and I wish I could offer more spaces. I will most likely do this again in the future, so keep checking back!

A Preview For Natalie!

Have I ever mentioned how gorgeous my little sister is? Well, if I haven't then let me mention it now! She's beautiful! And, so is her daughter Kaitlyn. It has taken me a little long getting these posted...sorry Natalie! Here is a preview of some of my favorites from our fun session. Kaitlyn was such a good sport as always. They turned out great! Lots more to come later!

Models Needed!

Christmas Mini Sessions

Call me crazy, I know!! Yes, I am that girl who is the ultra "plan-ahead" type. Scary thing to be thinking about in August, but here goes...

Christmas Mini Sessions!

These sessions are perfect for those who do not have time for a full session or just need an updated family photo for the Christmas card. Or if you need your child's 18 month photo you can use the session for that. Use it however you want! It's up to you.

Cost: $40 (Up to 4 people. Each additional person add $10)

Location: One session will be held in Ogden and the other in SLC.

Time: It will take place in the late afternoon and early evening. The sessions will last 30 minutes. Contact me at shanawhipple@hotmail.com to find out which times are still available!
Oh, come on!!! I KNOW some of you have already started thinking about Christmas...nothing to be ashamed of!

The T family

The T family came all the way from Texas just so I could take their pictures! Okay, not really but that would be cool. This little guy could be the Gerber baby! Seriously. We had so much fun taking pictures. I love the dresses their mom picked for the girls. So cute! Thanks T family for a fun time! Hope your trip back to Texas was a smooth one.







The C Family

I had the privilege of photographing the C family the other night. What a beautiful family! You would never know by looking at them what kind of struggles they have been through. Little baby E was born with a severe heart problem AND a very mean brain tumor. Three days after taking these pictures she had to undergo major heart surgery. Her second. The surgery went well and she is recovering with her family. They are not allowed to take her home to St. George yet so they have been living with relatives in Bountiful while seeking treatment at Primary Children's. Baby E is as beautiful as her big sisters. What heart breakers they will be! They are such a darling family. Thanks C family for allowing me to take your pictures!



New to the Blog!

Hello! I am Shana and this is my very first blog. I wanted a place to post my most recent work so I decided that a blog was the answer! But first, a little about me. I am originally from the Land of Enchantment...the great state of New Mexico (though, I'm still trying to figure out what is so enchanting or great about it). I am married to Ken (the most awesome husband a girl could ever hope for) and I have two darling kiddos. Carson (3) and Callie (10 mo.). I have my bachelors degree in Athletic Training and spend a couple days a week working as an athletic trainer for Jeffrey D. Harrison, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon in Ogden (If you ever have an orthopedic/sports medicine need come visit us at the Calton-Harrison Clinic). I have always had a passion and love for photography and a few years back decided that it was time to pursue a career in it. So, here I go following my dreams! I recently launched my website: www.shanawhipplephotography.com and am so excited for people to see it. I have loved photographing and getting to know so many different people and I hope you will come back and visit often!
