Shana is simply the best. Initially, we asked her to take Senior photos of our younger son and we were so incredibly delighted with the portraits we circled back and asked her to take photos of our older son. She really captures the person rather than just another generic posed photo. Further, both our boys came away from the experience happy and more confident (THAT was a welcomed surprise and NO grousing). I cannot recommend Shana strongly enough.

Shana has been our family photographer for over 16 years and we couldn't be more happy. From newborn pics, family pics, milestone year pics and even pet pics - she's simply the best! We've also had pics in her studios and at landmark STL locations. Her pictures are timeless pieces of art that fill our home and we couldn't be happier. On top of everything, she is a wonderful person who is great to work with and contributes back to the community. We look forward to future sessions and would highly recommend to all! Thanks Shana!!!

Shana took my daughter’s senior pictures and did such a great job of bringing out Olivia’s personality and beauty with her calm caring disposition. She really makes you feel comfortable during the process, not self-conscious or out of character, which is important because if you’re relaxed with your photographer, the pictures are naturally going to turn out better. Her choice of venue, outfit recommendations and overall eye for detail resulted in several timeless shots that we’ll proudly display for a lifetime. Shana is a great person and a great photographer and comes highly recommended.

Shana Watkins Photography was amazing for my daughter’s senior pictures! Shana did her photo sessions both inside and outside and the quality of her photos really bring out the beauty in her subjects. Shana has a calm, positive demeanor that made my daughter feel comfortable, not rushed. Shana really took the time to make sure my daughter felt relaxed and confident. The photos turned out so beautiful! My daughter loved her sessions with Shana and we will use her again for sure!

We used Shana for our daughters’ senior pictures. She was awesome to work with! I love that she helped us pick the right outfits, made suggestions for hair and make up styling and found beautiful locations. The photos turned out so beautiful, very natural looking.
Shana even did a photo shoot with my daughter and her dog last holiday season! We really enjoyed working with Shana and would recommend her for any occasion.
