Capture Your Unique Style With Shuttergram


Orlando, Florida is known for its beautiful people and when it comes to photographing them, Shuttergram Photography not only has the talent, but also the credentials, for getting the job done. Now in their fourth year of business, Shuttergram has expanded their customer base to include photo shoots of all kind, from baby boutique’s to fashion photography. A versatile photographer that captures beauty in all walks of life? Yes, it is possible!  Shuttergram shot the product pictures of our Corky Kouture!   

People often hesitate when it comes to hiring a professional photographer for their event, thinking they can just “ask friends” to take the photos and that will suffice. Friends with cameras may have good intentions but they generally lack the technical skills needed for getting the right shot, working with lighting, and retouching photos when needed. That’s why it’s best to leave that work to the pro at Shuttergram.

If your photography needs are a little “outside the box”, Shuttergram can accommodate. If you already have a vision, Shuttergram can take those ideas, build upon them, and give you a finished product that’s professional and captures the essence of your individual style. If your vision isn’t so clearly defined, Shuttergram can work with you to build a shoot that reflects your personality and taste. Beautiful results can be viewed in number of categories, ranging from musician photo shoots (what a great way to present yourself to a new audience!) to edgy editorial pics and fashion shoots. If you’re an aspiring model looking to build a quality portfolio, look no further. Shuttergram already has several photographed models under their belt, and they’d love to include YOU in their roster.

Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and walks of life. Shuttergram honors the beauty in all of us with gorgeous photographs that are timeless and tasteful. The retouching services ensure you are the best version of yourself in print!

As a resident of the Orlando area, you know there’s a lot to choose from when it comes to professional photography! Let that choice be easy with Shuttergram. Schedule a consultation or send a message with any questions you might have and you’ll be on your way to beautiful in no time!

Isn’t It Time You Put Your Best Face Forward?


If you’re looking to put your best face forward, look no further than Faces By Shannon. Orlando is hot, no matter what the season (seasons…what are those, right?!!) and often we women neglect our makeup since it’s just going to “melt off” anyway, right? I can’t count the number of times I’ve looked in the mirror before a huge event, not really loved my makeup (if I was wearing any at all!), and just shrugged, thinking, “Eh, good enough.” No, ladies. That isn’t good enough! We deserve to feel and look our best whenever we can.

What is Faces By Shannon? Well, the face behind Faces By Shannon is Shannon Miller; a brilliant and incredibly talented makeup artist (a protégé of Bernie Safire!) whose studied in Australia, worked for MAC, and is now forging more personal relationships with her clients. Instead of working in salon, she works for herself, making you look the best you can without a time limit or a line of other customers waiting their turn. You will be in the spotlight!

Not only is Shannon trained in makeup applications of all kind, but she can help solve your bothersome skin problems too. Whether you’re looking to get lessons for everyday looks you can do at home (with or without a little one tugging at your pants leg!) or wanting a dramatic look for your wedding or a large party, Faces By Shannon can help you.

Maybe you’ve considered a facial peel or wanted to tackle the reoccurring acne you get, but never felt comfortable walking into a salon and requesting these services. Faces By Shannon can accommodate you, and you’ll rest easy knowing that Shannon has been formally trained by the Florida College of Natural Health and has her Esthetician license. You will receive professional services in a sterile, yet inviting and personal, environment where you can ask questions and even get a free consultation before making any decisions.

Our faces are a canvas, and they’re really the first thing people see when they see US. Makeup and skin that looks its best can negate any other parts of our bodies we feel less than confident about. More importantly, when we look at ourselves, we want to feel strong and confident. If you’re looking for a refreshing change and a look that can truly change everything, make an appointment with Faces By Shannon!
