Why Shannon Coen Photo?
IF YOU ARE EVER NERVOUS ABOUT BEING PHOTOGRAPHED BECAUSE YOU AREN’T A “MODEL” DON’T YOU FRET. I WILL IN FACT BE THE WACKADOODALIEST (YEP) LOOKING PERSON AT THE SHOOT SO HAVE NO FEAR!
I am all about capturing my clients in a relaxed environment. The stuffy, posed department store studio portraits are out, and authentic one-of-a-kind imagery is in!
I want to connect with you as individuals and capture everything that makes you amazing, creative and unique.
My preferred way of capturing you is through stylized candids. This means my posing direction will likely be minimal. I want this to feel like a walk in the park between old friends. I want you to forget the camera is there. That way, I can capture you exactly as you are.
Most importantly, I want to deliver to you stunning photos via a process you enjoy! Therefore, the goal is to get comfortable and relax, work together to make your vision come true, and have a memorable experience that you can look back on and truly enjoy.

"Modeling for Shannon is an experience unlike any other. Her professionalism and passion have always made me feel confident and comfortable modeling for her over the years. Being your authentic self in front of a camera can be intimidating at times. Shannon's sense of humor and the relationship she builds with her clients make her the ideal photographer to work with for any occasion."
Lindsay
"Shooting with Shannon is like a dance. Instead of ridged posing, she encourages you to do what feels natural. She moves around you, capturing small, but insanely beautiful moments. I shoot with Shannon because I know she will not only take a good photo, but she will highlight the emotions of when it was taken, allowing one to cherish little frozen moments of time forever."
Emily
"Cannot express how lucky we were to have found Shannon to photograph our wedding festivities. She was so committed to making full use of our time and was so extremely friendly and personable. She even got my dad to crack a smile!! She was extremely accommodating to all my annoying requests and is just all-around amazing. Cannot wait to find another excuse to use Shannon for a holiday/occasion."
Christine
"I like how you see the beauty in ordinary things and prioritize capturing that beauty - but aren't a slave to the camera you wield. You manage to strike the perfect balance of taking photos but actually experiencing what's around you. It's so refreshing to have someone who memorializes moments without losing them in the process."
Joanna
"I'm tearing up! I've been feeling really bad about myself and my weight gain lately, but you managed to capture me in a light that 1) is like, the visual representation of my personality 2) that size really doesn't matter. These make me feel so good!"
Marta
"Shannon is such a DREAM to work with. Her candid captures and positive, easygoing demeanor make shooting with her simple and so much fun! She also has an amazing ability to catch stunning moments of unposed magic!"
