about us:

documentary filmmakers, photographers, and mothers.

Shanoaleigh Marson

Hi, I’m Shanoaleigh.

My style of photography and filmmaking is rooted in a natural, candid, and journalistic approach. I believe in documenting stories through conversation — I love to hang out with cool humans and capture their experiences exactly as they happen. I have a strong love for the messy, raw, and softness of life. As a Reiki practitioner, I will honor your energy and space while being present in your most vulnerable moments.

I live just outside of the cities with my husband, Mars, our daughter Rainbow, and beloved cat Pepperoni. The soft, small, often overlooked moments in my life with them are the ones I cherish the most.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have noticed the little moments - the way light came through our living room window and lit up shadows on our couch, my little brother’s secret smile as he ran through our grandma’s ravine. I used our family’s digital camera to take photos and videos of almost everything I could, slowly falling in love with the art of distilling beautiful, typically unseen moments through imagery. 

It feels sacred and magic to me to now be invited into other people’s lives to capture these moments for them. When I am not taking photos or filming, you can find me outside, snuggling my baby boy, making soup, crocheting, or playing cards with my partner, Matthew.

“Absolutely loved having Josephine there for the birth of our first baby! I debated on having photos taken because I didn’t think I would want to look at pictures of myself in such a vulnerable state, but I am so glad she was there. I look at these now a few months later and still feel so beautiful and strong. I barely knew that Josie was there and she somehow captured all these amazing shots, including a few of my baby half in/half out! Honestly every photo she captured is amazing and brings me right back to this night. Highly recommend you book her ASAP! Can’t wait to have her back for our next birth!”

“Shanoaleigh is amazing behind the lens! She makes you feel comfortable and confident and it shows in the photos. Her ability to capture the simplest glances, smirks and moments and make them standout is beautiful! I would recommend WildbyHabit to anyone looking to capture their most beautiful and memorable moments or when you wanna embrace your own beauty and be free.”
