Photographer, cinematographer, graphic artist, sound engineer and disc jockey are a just few of the titles I have held spanning a 30 plus year career in visual and performance arts. This journey has taken me across America and beyond our borders, affording me the privilege and benefit of working with many talented artists, technicians and craftspeople, at every type of venue that life can provide.
I bring these diverse experiences to every assignment with infectious joy and an ease of process that contributes to the perfect environment for our best and most natural selves to shine through.

Your life, your lifestyle: No matter what you’re into, people, places and things are my thing too! Whether formal or casual, moving fast or slow, shinning with chrome or draped in lace, Shannon Lifestyle Photography will come to you and create a stunning portrait of your life’s treasures and treasured moments. It may be on a bright beach, sporting arena or in a mood-lit ballroom; my experience and professional tools allow me to quickly generate and capture the most impact possible in any setting. When creating a headshot or environmental portrait for corporate use, Shannon Lifestyle Photography’s light footprint allows the use of the setting of your choice that will best present your personal brand. When crafting a family, couples or children’s portrait, a familiar environment or beloved location is a strong tool for creating a timeless image. I travel to your favorite places where my easy going, people (and kid!) friendly personality quickly creates a comfortable environment where it is easy (and fun!) to just be ourselves. Creating perfect light on location: Appealing images always start with beautiful light. Unfortunately, Mother Nature does not always provide flattering light on your schedule and indoor environments often lack pleasing, directional light, or enough light. Shannon Lifestyle Photography is passionate about the quality of light in your photos and brings a full mobile studio to every session, event and location. Whether accenting available light, or painting a whole scene, I carry a multitude of highly-mobile flash units and lighting modifiers to provide fast and dynamic lighting for every situation. All self-powered and radio triggered, these untethered tools allow me to quickly place controlled light when and where it is needed. Day or night, inside or out, all of my work utilizes some form of flash magic to paint my clients in the most flattering light. Event Shooting Style: My people friendly, photojournalistic shooting style is a form of magic in itself. Whether documenting a wedding, group, corporate or family event, I quickly blend into the environment. With a pleasant tenaciousness and professional calmness, family and guests quickly acclimatize to my presence, allowing natural moments to remain natural. An often heard and favorite compliment my clients pass on when reviewing their photos goes something like this: “You seemed to be everywhere at once but never in the way, after a while we had forgotten you were there, but look at all these photos – you were everywhere at once!”
