About

Hello! And Welcome to Paper Heart Pixie Photography Blog 🙂

I’m Shawn Estrada, a NYC based Natural Light /Lifestyle Photographer specializing in Family,Children, Maternity and Newborn Portraiture.

Who I am:

I’m a Mom, A Wife, An Artist, A Lover of Furry Friends.

I’d consider myself an observer and a people watcher. I really enjoy capturing subtleties others may not notice in life. With Paper Heart Pixie my aim is to freeze those fleeting moments that may pass us by in such a hurried world we live in. I am often inspired by my dreams; Being a visually creative person and somewhat of a day dreamer, photography has been a way for me to communicate with the world around me. My hope is to leave something beautiful behind in my own way.

Things I *Heart* :

Photography has been something that has interested me since I was a kid tinkering with my Polaroids. A big part of my world and inspirations are my family, friends and my beautiful, precocious daughter, Juniper. Watching my little Junebug’s journey in life humbles & amazes me in every way.

Some of my other loves include: frolicking with the wee faerie folk, sipping on peppermint tea. Making stuff with my hands ; painting, crafting, creating headbands and getting completely lost in music.

I hope you enjoy my blog and please be sure to check out my website  🙂
