Choosing The Right Photographer In The Twin Cities
In the vibrant Twin Cities, selecting the perfect photographer to capture life’s most cherished moments and one who resonates with your style and vision can be a daunting task. Allow me to introduce myself – I’m Shannon, the creative force behind Shannon Kathleen Photography, a photographer in the Twin Cities of Minnesota.
A Twin Cities Photographer For The Soul
Are you someone who effortlessly combines a laid-back vibe with a touch of organization? Do you possess a creative spirit and hold a deep appreciation for art with a hint of luxury? If so, you’ve found your photographer.
A Creative Spirit in the Twin Cities
In the land of a thousand lakes, where the Mississippi River weaves its story through the heart of the state, creativity blooms. I’m all about capturing that unique blend of Minnesota’s laid-back vibe with a touch of organizational finesse. It’s an art to effortlessly blend these qualities, and that’s where I come in.
Photography That Speaks to Your Soul
As a photographer based in the Twin Cities, my goal is to transcend mere snapshots and elevate photography into an art form. I specialize in Creative Senior, Maternity, and Newborn Lifestyle Photography. I’m not just here to capture moments; I’m here to capture the essence of your soul.
Discovering the Extraordinary in the Ordinary
With my lens, I delve deep into the human spirit. I believe that every person has a unique story to tell, and it’s my privilege to be the storyteller through the lens. The result? Timeless masterpieces that don’t just record events but evoke emotions, provoke self-reflection, and unveil the profound beauty within each of us.

Magnetic portraits for modern dating, branding, & beyond
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.
