BIO
My name is Shalane Itwaru. I’ve been a photographer since 2008, but I started doing it professionally in 2011, after my 3rd daughter was born. I have five beautiful children and a husband who I adore. I also have an elementary teaching background and love Jesus more than anything! I’ve loved photos and taking pictures for as long as I can remember, and I chose child photography for my focus, because we photograph what we love, and I love children. I love the imagination, the fun, the energy, and the facial expressions. Photographing children lets you be a kid again, too!
