Welcome to Live, Love & Shine With Shannon!
My mission with this blog is to share with you all of God’s great glory through my camera lens. Hopefully my pictures will inspire you to explore the world around you.
For so long I was afraid to pursue my creative dreams. I never thought myself as the creative type. I was also afraid that no one would like my photos. However, photography give me sense of peace and bring me so much joy. I am here to tell you not listen to those lies you tell yourself. That is Fear talking. Fear is a liar. Don’t listen to Fear. Follow your dreams, whatever they may be.
You are probably wondering how and why I chose the name for my blog. Well, I have always liked the saying Live, Love & Laugh. These are 3 very important words to remember and to follow. However being a very spirtual person, I felt I could improve on that saying. I changed the last word from laugh to shine. Live, Love & Shine! I like shine because you can’t say it without smiling. Also when I hear the word shine I think of light and when I think of light, I think of God. My favorite quote is from C.S. Lewis, “Don’t shine so others can see you, shine so that through you others can see Him.” This quote sums up my mission in life and with this blog. So I hope you enjoy my blog about my journey of capturing all of God’s great glory with my carmera. Hopefully you will find my stories inspiring, motivating and relatable. The stories will be about living life to fullest, loving unconditionally, and shining so others can see God.. And remember life is short, so shine on!
