Adventure Portrait Session Pricing

Adventure Photo Sessions for couples who want an experience

These aren’t mini sessions or quick poses in the park. Adventure portrait sessions are built for couples who want to get outside, explore a bit, and have photos that reflect that energy. Whether it’s an engagement, anniversary, proposal, or just a reason to celebrate being together, this is time carved out to do something different.

Hi! I’m Shannon

A former project manager turned adventure portrait and wedding photographer. I would love to be your Adventure Buddy.

I’m here to do more than take photos, I’m here to help you create a day that feels as incredible as it looks. From scouting jaw-dropping locations and sharing vendor recommendations to crafting timelines that catch that golden-hour magic- we bring it all together into fun experience. Whether it’s hiking a mountain, off-roading to a secret spot, or chasing sunsets, we’ll make memories as unique and extraordinary as your love story.

“Shannon was absolutely amazing. We had bad weather leading up to our shoot. Not only did she reassure me but she captured us perfectly❤️ Absolutely perfect I couldn’t have asked for a better engagement session. We were NERVOUS and she made us look perfect”

~ Holly & Adam

“Still my favorite pictures of my fiancé & I to this day! The best experience I’ve ever had getting professional photos done. She goes above & beyond to make you comfortable & still gets the shot. Watching her run up & down a mountain while I gracefully flowed in the wind was the ultimate service you expect, and she brings it. Definitely will never go to anyone else.”

~ Cassie & Nick

“My wife and I hired Stratus Adventure Photography for our engagement photos, and the pictures turned out amazing. Shannon was very fun and personable to work with. Highly recommended!”

~ Jordan & Raven

The Process

Step 1


Book Your Discovery  Call

First, book a discovery call to connect and see how we click. Bring any questions or pressing stressors you have run into so far. This is a super laid-back call meant to get to know each other and leave you with more answers than when you started.

Step 2


Secure Your Date

Did our call make you feel like we are the perfect fit? The next step is to secure your date on my calendar. I limit the number of weddings and sessions I take on each month to give each couple one-on-one planning assistance as needed.

Step 3


Craft your Experience

Once you are booked, we will begin the planning- from location choices and vendor recommendations to timeline assistance and laying out the key details that matter most to you. If you can dream it, we will do our absolute best to make it happen.

Step 4


Enjoy your day!

When your session day arrives, I will be your photographer, hype woman, stalker-azee, and personal problem solver so you get to live in the moment and enjoy your day together- I’ve got you!

That’s what I’m here for. I will ask questions and go over a customized timeline that fits what you are dreaming up. If you are still at the very beginning stages of planning and are unsure of locations and activities, we can always begin with a smaller package and add on more time as we fill in the details.

Choosing adventurous nature portraits does not mean you have to hike a mountain! There are plenty of gorgeous gentle access locations available.

I help with location options, timeline creation, vendor recommendations, packing lists, gear items, etc. I give guidance, but it’s up to you to contact your preferred vendors and book your travel.

Believe me when I say this is the rule, not the exception.  Most people feel this way, including almost every couple you see on my site.  

Don’t worry- I’ve got you.

Absolutely!  I 100% want to meet (and photograph) them.  I do suggest having a family member or friend available to help with them so you can relax and be present during portraits without them.

I do not offer mini sessions. If you want less time than what is listed above, the price does not change.
