This is where Cody and Corrine met. Corrine worked at the local liquor store, and cody seemed to always be hanging around 😉So we had to commemorate ✨

It was indeed a bad day to be a @buschlightlife 🍻

Repeat after me:

I attract energies and situations that fill me with joy every day. ✨

Hi! I’m Sheyann (that’s my hot Husbabe, Drew) and I have a lot to say.

When did we forget how to participate in crucial discourse? You know, discussions between people who have differing perspectives? Ancient philosophers did it. That’s how/when a lot of the principals our modern society lives by, developed.

If you’ve been following for a while you may have noticed that my posts/stories over the past year and a half have become more political and serious in context, sometimes. It’s because one day I decided that I didn’t want to portray something that was not authentic to who I am. I’ve studied a lot about the Holocaust and in my opinion silence is violence. When it comes to the welfare of other human beings we don’t get to be neutral or a bystander.

BUT, nothing I ever post is direct attack on another person that I follow or that follows me. I try to keep what I post informational and at the very least challenge other peoples perspectives without criticizing their character.

An increasing number of people have started to jump in to my DM‘s trying to persuade me to see things from their point of view, criticize my character, or spew hateful lies that are not backed by science evidence or research. And I’m telling you now I am not the one, Sis.

Do you want to have a conversation about the topic? Cool! Let’s participate in some discourse, get to know each other‘s perspective, ask questions, and go from there. My promises to never message anyone and attack them with “you” (you are immoral, you are ignorant, you are…) statements. And I expect the same respect when people communicate with me.

Let’s learn how to converse, without going on the defense or attacking. Let’s aim to listen and question with the intent of understanding. We don’t have to agree, but we also don’t have to hate each other.

Peace and love on this Labor Day weekend 🖤

(PS. 10/10 recommend hiring a photographer for a quick mini session when traveling anywhere. Thanks for the beautiful pictures @torridominique )

Business Tip ✨

Be authentic to yourself in all facets of your business and you will attract clients who value you.

My clients (I like to call them friends) know the following about me:

- they are welcome no matter what color, sexual orientation, belief system, etc.
- I value quality and genuine moments
- I am opinionated (and a little sassy) but always come from a place of love
- I love to learn and experiment/teach
- I hate bugs and will scream if one lands on me during a session 😅

Not going to lie, I’m ready for my timeline to look like this.

Golden light & golden leaves = all the fall feels.

Are you team fall or are you holding on to summer for a bit longer?

08/31/2021

You
My fairytale
My book
To never finish
Let me linger
In your pages
A little
Ever
Longer.

I’m back and ready to kick butt! (See what I did there?)

I’m catching up on all emails/messages/invoices/etc today.

I can’t wait to hit the ground running for the busy fall season ahead and I’m looking forward to seeing you all over the next two months!

If you’re needing to schedule a fall session I have a few mini spots open, and also some spooky session spots left.

I also have room for 2 full hour sessions before my books are closed through October.

Now we just need the weather to cool the eff off 🥵

08/24/2021

Working all those angles, baby 💋🍑

08/23/2021

Which look is your favorite?

I’m obsessed with all of them 😍

08/22/2021

Shot a wedding @papermillonthelanding yesterday for @indigolacecollective and it took me back to this incredible installation that @floracultured created for our styled shoot this past May. Just something beautiful to look at for your Sunday.

08/20/2021

Taryn + this amazing bouquet from @tntfloral = bridal goals 😍

My husband tells me I’m beautiful at the most random times. Like when I’m cleaning, or playing with Lola or on slow Sunday mornings when I’ve just rolled out of bed.

In fact, he swears I look the best like that. Messy hair, no makeup, glasses on and zero effort put into my appearance.

When shooting bo***ir I try to always emulate that same concept. Yes we do the “sexy” poses, but I also try to capture the more subtle side of my clients.

Their messy hair, genuine laughter face, the simple & real moments their significant other finds them most beautiful.

No clever caption. Just a beautiful photo of a beautiful couple.

08/10/2021

Do you meditate?

I do. Not as often as I should, but I do it. My husband calls it my “witch sh*t.”

I have needed that reflection time lately so this morning I took the time to sit with myself. My energy has been way out of whack lately, so I asked the universe what I needed to hear and wouldn’t you know it…

PROTECTION. Protection over my energy shield. What I’m consuming and what I’m willing to give of myself.

I needed the reminder that I don’t have to do it all, all of the time. And I don’t have to always be on to the next thing. Sometimes the best way to protect your energy is to not exert it at all.

If you’re feeling worn down energetically or spiritually, check out my stories to see what today’s card says.

Iconic.

Gimme all the green velvet 😍 I love when clients bring textures and fun colors to their empowerment session.

08/05/2021

Last call class of 2022…

I have room to take on few more seniors this fall. So if you’re wanting a mix or editorial and classic senior pics that make you feel as cool as you are, but also keep mom happy, let’s chat!

08/04/2021

Dodged mosquitos with Hannah and Ashley last night and I’m not going to miss the giant bugs but I am going to miss the warmth and light from summer sessions!

A girl and her horse, George.

I remember Allie this exact way as a 3 year old. Messy hair, horse loving, wild and beautiful soul. She just looks older now.

Time is a thief.

08/02/2021

Happy Monday, friends. I have some amazing sessions lined up this week and kicked it off yesterday with this beauty!

What’s on your docket this week?

07/30/2021

Happy Friday Lovers 💋

07/29/2021

What comes before Part B?

PartAAAAyyy 🎉

07/28/2021

It’s the teeth for me.

07/27/2021

Going to post these in every format possible 😍

07/26/2021

Taryn is one of those people who naturally moves like a model. Look how cute she is smirking at her HUSBAND 💍

07/25/2021

When your lens fogs up from the humidity but it makes it look like a romantic scene set in London…not mad at it.

Taryn and Alex, your wedding was so beautiful and so is your love story! Thank you for choosing me to capture it!

07/23/2021

Using flowers is one of my fav ways to slow toddlers down during a session. It also gives them something to do with their hands so they don’t put them over their mouth. A small “distraction” can help you capture candids of kids while they aren’t staring at the stranger with the camera.

What’s a tip or trick you use when photographing littles?

07/22/2021

Erin and Alex ✨

What a joy it was to walk along side you on your perfect day. I can’t wait to watch you grow in love.

07/21/2021

It’s family photo season y’all, and I LOVE IT. Don’t get me wrong I love weddings, bo***ir and seniors too but there is something so special about capturing memories for all the sweet families year after year.

I have the BEST clients and I’m so grateful for everyone who recommends me and comes back each year so I can watch you grow and thrive.

Coffee on me today friends ☕️

Head to my stories to get the card and don’t forget to share what you got and tag me in your story!

07/20/2021

I cried off and on my whole way home from this session. When I walked in our house my husband asked “Did someone die? Are you okay?”

I said “no someone is living, and I am so grateful for that.”

So glad I finally got to meet Dane. Kyanne and Logan, you are rockstars and I’m so proud of you 🤍
