  Shawna has been able to photograph so many family milestones for us. From our wedding to newborn photos, a senior session, and annual family photos. She is great to work with, responsive, helpful with location ideas, outfits, she by far has done the best professional photos we’ve had done here in and and that’s why we will continue to go back to her!

  Shawna has been doing our family photos for almost 6 years now and I’m am incredibly grateful for the relationship that we have built with her. She has captured memories with our children, our wedding, and with our family and the photos she gives us are nothing less than amazing. Shawna is incredibly talented and easy to work with!

  Shawna is the best! We hired her as our wedding photographer and I am so glad we did. Not only were the photos amazing quality, but Shawna was also so helpful throughout the whole planning process. The day of the wedding she was so fun and professional, and our whole bridal party loved her! Her attention to detail made all the difference! If you are a future bride looking for a reliable photographer, definitely meet with Shawna.

  Loved every minute of our time spent with Shawna! We did the maternity session and the New Born Sessions with her and we’ll be back for more! She worked with us for scheduling, made it so so cozy for New Born pictures, listened to all of our ideas and had so many great ones of her own! Loved all the props and outfit options she had for him!! Can’t wait for him to grow up a little so we can come back for another session!! Will recommend Shawna to everyone for every occasion!

  I first met Shawna in 2011—before Shawna Thomas Photography even existed. I had just moved to Williston from Texas and was a 9th grader navigating a new school. Shawna was a senior, and she was the kindest, most supportive upperclassman I encountered. That kindness has stayed with her and shines through in every session we’ve had together since. In the summer of 2019, she took my daughter’s one-year photos. By fall of 2020, we booked a full family session where she welcomed our three dogs and braved a bitter 10-degree evening with patience and warmth. The results were beautiful. In 2023, we booked another family session—this time celebrating our pregnancy after years of infertility treatments. Shawna once again included our dogs and helped us capture the joy and emotion of that season. She also photographed our son’s newborn and 6-month milestones in 2024, followed by his one-year photos in spring of 2025. Shortly after, I reached out to schedule a new session for later that year. That’s when we received heartbreaking news: our beloved dog, Harvey, had been diagnosed with lymphoma and wouldn’t make it to our session. Without hesitation, Shawna dropped everything to come spend the evening with us, giving us the gift of one last night with Harvey captured in the most thoughtful, loving way. That day, she became more than a photographer—she became family. Now, as we prepare for our next session, we’re carrying both joy and grief into the frame. And this spring, we’ll trust Shawna once again as we begin a new chapter: senior photos for our oldest. We may not take pictures every year, but when we do, we always call Shawna. She has helped us celebrate, remember, and hold on to every meaningful moment with heart, grace, and genuine care. And yes, she can even get your awkward husband to loosen up and take the photo! We are forever grateful for her.
