Relocating June 2026 — Bringing Heartfelt School & Homeschool Portraits to Dallas–Fort Worth
At Shannon Kathleen Photography, every portrait is designed to feel genuine, easy, and true to the moment.
I specialize in creating natural, personality-filled portraits for schools, homeschool families, and co-ops throughout the Twin Cities — and soon, the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Whether I’m working with a classroom full of kids or a small homeschool group, my approach is always the same: keep it relaxed, keep it real, and make every child feel confident in front of the camera.
Because when kids feel comfortable, they shine — and that’s what creates the portraits families actually love hanging on the wall.

Families across Minneapolis, St. Paul — and soon, Dallas–Fort Worth — love how natural and stress-free our photo days feel.
Five star review
Most school photos? Quick, impersonal, and over in ten seconds. Kids barely get to breathe before the shutter clicks — leaving parents with stiff, forgettable images.
At Shannon Kathleen Photography, I take a different approach. Every portrait is personalized, relaxed, and designed to let your child’s real personality shine. No forced smiles. No assembly-line energy. Just genuine connection, warm light, and real expression.
After photographing thousands of students across Minneapolis–St. Paul, I’m excited to bring this same heartfelt, non-cookie-cutter approach to Dallas–Fort Worth in 2026. Whether it’s a classroom, homeschool group, or co-op, photo day becomes a moment your families actually enjoy — and images they truly cherish.

CAN FAMILIES PURCHASE DIGITAL IMAGES OR PRINTS?
Both! I use natural light and simple backdrops indoors (no harsh flashes or studio lights), or we can photograph outdoors using Texas’ beautiful light and greenery. Most schools prefer clean, professional backdrops; most homeschool groups love natural outdoor portraits with warmth and personality.
Are school photos taken indoors or outdoors?
I provide modern, natural-light school portrait photography for schools, co-ops, and homeschool groups in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area (opening Summer 2026). Each student receives 2–5 professionally edited images in both color and black-and-white, with families choosing their favorites—no pre-selected poses.
Services include boutique prints, digital downloads, sibling photos, yearbook-ready PSPA files, and direct parent support for ordering. I also serve schools and homeschool groups in Minneapolis–St. Paul until my Dallas relocation is complete.
WHAT SERVICES DO YOU OFFER FOR SCHOOLS AND HOMESCHOOL GROUPS IN DALLAS–FORT WORTH?
Online galleries are typically available within 1 week after picture day. Families will receive an email notification when images are ready, and all ordering is done online for convenience.
WHEN WILL OUR SCHOOL RECEIVE THE PHOTOS?
Yes! I’ve spent over 15 years photographing children in schools, co-ops, and homeschool settings. My background in pediatrics and my experience as a homeschool mom help me connect with kids naturally, keeping sessions fun and stress-free.
Every portrait session is calm, efficient, and designed to help each child feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.
