We have been working with Shanna Roast for the past six years, and she has become such a meaningful part of our family traditions. Every year we do a family photo session, and my two kids genuinely look forward to it — which says everything about Shanna. She has an incredible way of connecting with children, making the experience fun, relaxed, and full of laughter.
The magic of Shanna’s work is that her photos never feel posed or forced. She captures who we are — the movement, the love, the joy, and the real moments in between. Every gallery feels dynamic and full of life, and the images truly reflect our family’s essence. These are the kinds of photos you feel, not just see.
We are endlessly grateful for her talent, her warmth, and the memories she has given us over the years. If you’re looking for a photographer who creates authentic, soulful, and timeless images, Shanna is truly exceptional. -

Oh, what can I say about Shanna? She is by far the most talented photographer. She has done a lot of photography sessions for me over the years and I wouldn’t go with anyone else. She has done family photos, she photographed my now husband asking me to marry him, engagement photos and wedding photos for us. Her talent every single time blows us away and she has captured some of the best moments with ease and confidence. I never walk away from a photo session questioning if I picked the right person to capture my family.
We absolutely love Shanna and would highly recommend her to anyone! -

I am in love with how our pictures turned out! My husband and I have had our picture taken very little so we were really nervous that we wouldn't know what to do or even have an idea of what we wanted. Shanna was super upbeat and friendly and was able to provide us the guidance we needed! Not once did I ever feel awkward, she helped me build the confidence I needed to not stress about the process. Definitely booking her the next time we need pictures.

To be honest, I always feel so awkward getting my picture taken, but Shanna really made our experience amazing! Our poses look organic and our smiles look natural; nothing stiff or forced at all. I love looking at these portraits and I'm so grateful to Shanna for such a great session.
THANK YOU!

Shanna did a fantastic job. I usually feel really awkward having my photo taken, but she made the experience comfortable and fun. She is professional, friendly, and quick to adapt to a change of plans. The photos turned out gorgeous and I will definitely book her again in the future.

Shanna is fantastic. I worked with her for both a graduation portrait session and a just-for-fun shoot. She’s patient, highly visual, punctual, and genuinely great to spend time with. I love her editing style and would absolutely work with her again.

Shanna is a photographer who knows what she's doing! She knows the best angles/lighting/positions and knows how to get them, even if you're a little awkward in front of the camera. She is very flexible, and will work with you on anything from budget to what subjects you need. Shanna is fun, energetic, and personable! Also a great friend. :) She made my wedding photos gorgeous and better than I imagined! If you're looking for a photographer, look no further than Shanna Roast!

Shanna made us feel comfortable and at ease with both our engagement photos and wedding photos. She was flexible, quick, gracious, and all around wonderful! Our photos ended up being breathtaking for both sessions and we’re obsessed with them. We LOVE her and will definitely be booking more sessions in the future.
Your Experience Matters!
If we’ve worked together, I’d love to hear how it felt for you. The good. The meaningful. The parts that surprised you, & if there’s something I could have done better, I want to hear that too.
I’m always growing as a photographer and as a human. Your honest feedback helps me create safer, more affirming, and more thoughtful experiences for the people who trust me with their stories.
