Elk Grove Portrait Photographer
Because Every Picture Tells A Story
Servicing Elk Grove California and the greater Sacramento area
“We do not remember days, we remember moments.”
-Cesare Pavese
Welcome to Shawn Spencer Photography – Life moves fast, and the moments you’re living right now won’t always feel this close. I help families, seniors, and growing parents slow things down — capturing meaningful moments so you can remember not just how this season looked, but how it felt. From the excitement of senior year to the quiet sweetness of a newborn, a growing family, or the anticipation of maternity, these images become the memories you’ll hold onto for years to come.
With over 18 years of experience photographing senior portraits, family photos, newborn sessions, milestone memories, and maternity, I guide you through every step of the process. From planning and preparation to relaxed, natural sessions, you’ll never be left wondering what to do or how to feel in front of the camera. I’m here to make the process comfortable, relaxed, and enjoyable, so you can focus on being present and making memories together. These images aren’t just for today — they’re for the memories you’ll revisit for years to come.
