Shannon Lifestyle Photography creates beautiful images of the most important people in your world celebrating life’s greatest moments.
Photographer, animator, art director, graphic artist, sound engineer, musician & wedding DJ are some of the many hats I have worn over a 40-year career in visual and performing arts. A journey that 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. ~ Bruce Shannon
Your life, your lifestyle . . No matter what you are into: people, places and things are my thing too! Whether formal or casual, moving fast or slow, shining with chrome or draped in lace, I will come to you and create a stunning portrait of your life’s treasures and treasured moments.
Flattering Portraits and Headshots for your personal branding . . The magic of capturing personality for solo, family, couples, kids or group portraits involves a natural synergy between the subject(s), environment and photographer – my experienced, personable and upbeat working style, along with a comfortable location of your choosing, makes capturing the perfect emotions easy and fun.
The shooting environment . . As a mobile photographer, my studio is where your life happens. When crafting a family, couples or children’s portrait, a familiar environment or beloved location puts everyone in the comfort zone. 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. I am passionate about the quality of light in your photos and bring a full mobile studio to every session, event and location. Whether accenting available light, or painting a whole scene, utilizing powerful, all wireless, mobile studio lighting ~ I will create dynamic lighting for every situation. Day or night, inside or out, all my work utilizes some form of flash magic to paint my clients in the most flattering light.
My photo-journalistic shooting style is a form of magic in itself, whether documenting a wedding, group, or family event, I quickly blend into the environment. Getting the shots 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 here, there and everywhere!”
