First, thank you for visiting my page, and I hope to meet you!! My name is Shaunna Tello; I am a Texas transplant to the great state of Wisconsin. My passion is creating art and memories through photography, and I want to share that with the world. My love of photography began with a simple black-and-white photography class in high school; looking through the lens of a vintage 35mm Canon camera gave me the inspiration I needed. At that moment, I knew what I needed to do, so I went to college in 2003 and have been working towards helping people through my art ever since. I enjoy creating art that can capture a moment that can never be replaced and make an image have a feeling that will last forever as time ticks on with my artistic twist. My goal as a professional photographer is to create a professional photograph that is affordable for every person. A memory is priceless, but there is no reason a picture of it should ever be out of reach.
"It all started with a girl and a dream"
-Shaunna
From the beginning, my passion snowballed, allowing me to focus on creating images outside the box. I have always been interested in the oddities of life, welcoming the outcast, weirdos, and the black sheep, fast cars, loud music, tattoos, and piercings, and showing the beauty in a way most people do not see upfront. I fed into my heart, and being in the big state of Texas; photography led me down a beautiful rabbit hole of photography. Texas became a canvas that allowed me to create photographic memories artistically, focusing on boudoir, pin-up, car shows, concert performances, motorcycles, racetracks, fantasy, cosplay, cabaret, LGBTQ, gothic, and so much more, meeting fabulous people along my quest to grow my photographic skills. I often see beauty when the subject itself does not, and with that, I have been able to dive deep into my creativity to show those people what the rest of the world sees and how stunning they are! I focus on women, children, and families because we all know that “I hate having my picture taken!” and “I look awful in pictures!” person. My goal is to change that stigma and have fun while producing an image that a person can love. I enjoy being part of a client’s important milestones such as births, graduations, family portraits, engagements, weddings, maternity, annual birthdays, and so much more. Nothing beats the feeling when I get to be part of watching a person or family grow and enjoy this thing we get once LIFE! If you want your memory captured, I am the bounty hunter with a camera for the job! I like to think that I am a kind, creative, non-judgmental, understanding, fun-loving, and spontaneous person who would like to make your memories last forever. That way, you can enjoy them for many days to come. I have a fantastic husband, a loving family, a bunch of four-legged rescues that are my babies, and noble friends that make up my extraordinary life, and we look forward to you joining our Southern Fire Family.
