The Heroes Behind The Masks

by // 3 Comments

Wow!  How quickly our lives have been turned upside down!  I cannot even begin to fathom how everyone is doing right now.  I don’t even know where to begin.  I do know that it is more important than ever to look for the good.  To look for the rainbows and keep our eyes on the positive things.  It has been so uplifting to see how everyone is coming together to make this better for everyone.  From companies changing their direction to provide needed products all the way to children writing words of encouragement on their sidewalks to brighten someone’s day.  We are in this together.  One team! 

Today my family has plans to stay home, play games, read, cook and take a walk or a bike ride around our neighborhood.  It is not an eventful day but it is a good day because we are here, we are safe and we are together.  We are fortunate to be able to stay home and keep our family safe.  The one thing that I cannot get out of my head is the people who ARE working.  Those who walk out their doors in the morning knowing there is an invisible risk out there.  One that they do not know if they are bringing home.  I have heard stories of healthcare workers living in tents in their garages to keep themselves away from their families.  Other essential workers stripping their clothes off before entering their homes for fear of bringing it into their homes.  Everyday they face that battle because we need them and my heart is breaking thinking of them.

Thank you to our healthcare workers on the front lines!

There are so many that we need.  From the healthcare workers on the front lines all the way to the employees at the toilet paper factories.  These people are keeping our world running and I just want to thank them.  Many of these people are often forgotten and unappreciated but right now we are having a chance to see how much we really need them.  They are all so important to our everyday lives. 

Thank you to essential workers for keeping our world running.

As a non-essential business I am not open right now but I am determined to use my voice and my services for good.  I am a helper and this is my way to spread gratitude and appreciation to those who are keeping our world running.  Over the next month I will be taking nominations of essential workers who you think deserve a thank you and a gift for their service.  During this month I will be sharing some of those stories on my Facebook and Instagram pages and at the end of the month I will place ALL the nominations in a hat and choose 10 people to receive a free session with digital images included to take place AFTER business restrictions are lifted.

To nominate an essential worker please email shannon@ShannonLynnPhotography.com.  Include their name, their job, a little bit about them and why you think they deserve a free session, your email address and their email address or phone number.

New Jersey beach photography 2018.

New Jersey’s premier beach photographer, Shannon Lynn Photography is now booking for 2018.  Of all the places in the world I shoot, the New Jersey beach is by far my favorite.  With the neutral colors, simple views and gorgeous sunsets it is the perfect backdrop to let your family’s personality shine.  From fun interactive moments to perfectly, posed, “mantle worthy” images we will get it all!  The quality and style I offer is unmatched by any other New Jersey beach photographer.

Beach Session Information 

This year I am offering sessions in New Jersey from Ocean City NJ to Cape May and everywhere in between.  Other locations may also be available upon request.  Before your session we will schedule a phone consultation to discuss your beach photography goals and desires.  I will help you decide what kinds of products will work best for you and how to style your session to compliment those products.  I will assist you in clothing choices as well as location and any other area you may need help.

During your beach session we will interact, loosen up and have fun.  I will sneak in those perfectly, posed, smiling shots here and there but then it’s back to the fun.  I like to keep everyone happy and engaged, especially those little ones.

After your session your portraits will be prepared for viewing and you will have the opportunity to view your online gallery.  You will have five days to view your online gallery and make your decisions about digitals and products.

Helping my clients choose their products is the part I enjoy most of all.  Having your art displayed throughout your home to view is a wonderful way to enjoy your family every single day.  Studies have shown having family portraits hung on your walls has a positive effect on self esteem and boosts confidence. Let me help you make your children proud of themselves and their family.  The products that I offer are of the highest quality and all meet archival standards, meaning the ink will last over 100 years!  These moments will be preserved for generations to come.  If you would like to schedule an in person viewing appointment I would be so happy to help you choose and design your wall art or album.
