Meet the Artists...

Shonna’s photography career also began in 1991.  She worked for one of Oklahoma City’s largest photography studios, and was promoted to the Kansas City area, where she met her husband, Todd.

She has photographed weddings for over a decade, first perfecting her craft with film, and now leading the digital revolution.  Over this time she has photographed some of Kansas City's largest and most elegant events. 

Her work has been featured in KC Weddings Magazine, the Knot, and handful of other really cool magazines.

She joined Freeland Photography in 2005, and we are lucky to have her on board.

John is a true photojournalist.  He has nearly two decades experience photographing weddings, commercial work, and professional sporting events.  You will probably see him on the sidelines at many of your favorite college & professional events when he is not shooting weddings.  He recently photographed the All Star Game in St Louis for Us Presswire.

John has the technical training of a Master studio photographer, but presents himself at events in a manner that is easy going and unobtrusive.  This allows him to capture candid moments focusing on his photojournalism skills.

John's wedding work has been featured in KC Weddings, the Knot, and PWG.  His photojournalism work has been featured in the Usa Today, Sports Illustrated, Maxim, ESPN the magazine, Chicago Tribume, Superbowl Program XLII, and the Punxsutawney Spirit.
