Welcome to Shannon Kathleen Photography’s unparalleled school portrait services, where we don’t just capture images; we seize vibrant memories infused with personality. Picture this: a blend of professionalism and a touch of artistic flair, all conveniently brought to your doorstep through our exclusive online experience. Based in the heart of the Twin Cities, Minnesota, we pride ourselves on delivering school portraits that go beyond the ordinary. It’s not just about clicking pictures; it’s about immortalizing the essence of each student, creating a visual journey through their academic years.
Operating exclusively online, our approach is not only seamless but also personalized, ensuring a stress-free and delightful experience for both families and schools. So, whether you’re a parent eager to commemorate your child’s academic milestones or a school looking to redefine your portrait day, join us at Shannon Kathleen Photography for a school portrait experience that transcends the traditional, capturing the spirit of education with every click. Let’s make memories that last a lifetime!

My approach to school photography is centered around individuality. I’ve moved past the era of one-size-fits-all portraits. Instead, I offer password-protected galleries that allow parents to browse and handpick their favorite photos of their children. Within each child or family’s gallery, you’ll find 2-5 images available in both color and classic black and white. It’s all about letting the family have control over their cherished memories.






Ordering prints is a breeze, and they are conveniently delivered right to your child’s school within four weeks of picture day. If parents prefer, I also provide a direct delivery option to their doorstep. No fuss, no hassle – just high-quality prints delivered where it’s most convenient.

To ensure that photo day goes off without a hitch, I provide each school with a comprehensive PDF guide outlining ordering procedures and preparations. I want this day to be as smooth as possible for both you and the students.


I believe in the uniqueness of each school and its requirements. That’s why I’m open to collaboration. My services are tailored to your specific needs, whether you need staff and class photos or any other specific arrangements.
Wondering about the price tag? I offer competitive pricing with no upfront costs. Instead, profits are generated from the ordering process. I provide a diverse range of collections and a-la-carte products to cater to everyone’s needs.
Whether you’re a homeschool co-op or a large institution with up to 1,000 students, I have the capacity to accommodate you. My goal is to make high-quality, personalized school portraits accessible to all.






My school portrait services are not just a job; they’re a passion. I, Shannon, the lead photographer, come with a wealth of experience working with children. From before-and-after school programs to pediatrics, and raising my own child I understand the nuances of capturing genuine smiles and memories.
The answer is, whenever you need them. I collaborate with each school individually to arrange photoshoots at any point throughout the academic year.
School portraits shouldn’t just be a ritual; they should be a cherished memory. Shannon Kathleen Photography brings a personal touch to every image, ensuring that every smile, every personality shines through. I can’t wait to partner with your school and capture the uniqueness of your students, creating memories that last a lifetime!

Hi — I’m Shannon O’Malley.
I’m a Minneapolis-based (soon-to-be Dallas, TX) photographer specializing in online dating profile photography, personal branding portraits, business headshots, and senior sessions. I work with people who want photos that feel natural, confident, and genuinely reflective of who they are — not stiff, overproduced, or performative.
My approach is rooted in natural light, ease, and emotional intelligence. I believe the best photos happen when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves — and seen enough to trust the process. Whether someone is stepping back into dating, refining their professional presence, or marking a meaningful season of life, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel honest and quietly powerful.
With over 15 years of experience behind the camera — and a journey that includes single motherhood, entrepreneurship, and a national CBS feature — I’ve seen firsthand how much impact the right photos can have. A strong image isn’t about vanity. It’s about clarity. It’s often the first impression that shapes how others perceive you — before you ever get the chance to explain yourself.
This blog is where I share insights on photography, visibility, confidence, and showing up with intention — both on and off camera.
When I’m not photographing clients, you’ll usually find me with my husband, my son, and our beautifully blended family — soaking up everyday life here in the Twin Cities (for now). We’ll be relocating to Dallas, Texas in 2026, where I’ll continue offering my signature photography experience for daters, creatives, and business owners throughout the DFW area.
If you’re here because you want photos that actually feel like you, you’re in the right place. I’m glad you found your way here.
