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!
Oh hey there, nice to meet you!
I’m Shannon, a Twin Cities-based (soon-to-be Dallas, TX!) photographer specializing in online dating profile photography, personal branding photography, business headshots, and senior portraits. Whether you’re updating your dating apps, refreshing your LinkedIn profile, building your business brand, or celebrating a senior year milestone, I create natural light portraits that boost confidence and help you stand out — authentically.
With 15+ years of experience — and a personal journey from single mom to entrepreneur (and a CBS feature along the way) — I know the power of a photograph to tell your story. From attracting more meaningful matches, landing dream clients, or marking life’s big moments, I create relaxed, real portraits that feel like you while making a lasting first impression.
I’m also the creator of the Empowered Evolution Mentorship Program for photographers, where I teach creative entrepreneurs how to build profitable photography businesses through intentional marketing, SEO strategies, and streamlined workflows.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me with my husband, my son, and our beautifully blended family, savoring life’s everyday moments here in Minneapolis–St. Paul (at least for now!). We’re relocating to Dallas, Texas in 2026 — and I’ll soon be offering my signature branding and dating photography experience in the DFW area.
📸 Ready for natural photos that actually feel like you? Whether you need dating photos, professional headshots, or personal branding portraits, I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel confident and aligned with your next chapter. Let’s book your session today.
