The newest issue of Mozi Magazine just came out and it is a must see! a) I am in it with my amazing stylist, Kim ;) b) it is all about kids, my favorite subject and mostly because c) there are so many amazing features and images! Really, an absolutely beautiful publication :)
(here’s a little sneak peek of the mag- Kim and I give our top 10 tips for creating a styled shoot!)
and some pulls from the rest of the shoot (could these kiddos get any cuter??)…

Last fall I did a little road trip through California and parts of the SW… it’s been a while but I am so excited I get to start sharing some of these shoots with you!
You can see this first one in the latest issue of Babiekins Magazine here. I met up with the sweetest little model in Joshua Tree National Park and we played dress up for a bit…
Kim and I are working together a lot more and designing custom pieces for all our shoots. In an effort to keep storage to a minimum, we are going to start offering pieces up for sale. The bustled skirt here is available if you are interested. It will fit anywhere from a girl’s size 6 to 10 (it was made to be adjustable and also as a photography piece- made to look good on camera, not for day to day wear) ;) Please email me if you are interested! shannon@shannonsewell.com

I have never been a wedding girl… I don’t get excited about them or photograph them. I’d take a pair of boots and tousled locks over fancy shoes and up-do’s any day ;) … but when Lillipops Designs showed her new tuxedo inspired dress she designed, I decided right then and there that maybe flower girls could be my thing ;) Throw in some accessories from LMMH and I was sold.
How could I resist?

Kathy: I think that this might be my all time favorite shoot that you have ever done. I don't know if it's because I see my impish daughter in her face, or the adorable clothes or the amazing accessories that I'm in love with or the beautiful photography as usual. It's breathtaking and I am breathless with it. LOVELOVELOVE! (01.22.2013 08:10pm)
