SGT. Shea Boom - Bio


SGT. SHEA BOOM
SHEA HALLIBURTON

Shea was raised in Clarksville, Tennessee, making music videos with her sisters, filling notebooks with drawings and chasing peacocks on the farm. She received a BFA in Graphic Design and spent hours in the darkroom before digital cameras were 'cool.' Sweet home Alabama called her name for an internship with Southern Living Magazine and four years later became Art Director and freelance photographer for a local lifestyle magazine.

In 2006 she was asked to photograph her cousin's wedding... enter a Digital Rebel and the panicked 'how to photograph a wedding' google search. At the end of 2010, she will have captured 62 weddings and over 200 portrait sessions. That's approximately 275,000 clicks of a button.

Shea's strengths: mix cds and hugs.
During college, Shea held four jobs, one being a middle-school-party DJ.
DJ name: shicka shicka boom boom.
Nickname ever since: Shea boom, boom boom or just plain boom.

Shea's weakness: the left lazy eye and ZERO depth perception. Therefore, is the opposite of athletic, a pretty horrible driver and a fear things being thrown at her.

Weapons of choice:
Canon 5D Mark II
24-70mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.4 lenses
Holga 120 (medium format film)
