Hello!

My name is Shannon Rae and I am a Midwest based photographer. I have been playing with cameras since I was eight years old and started my business when I was fifteen. What started out as a simple interest has now blossomed into a full-time career.

I'm married to my best friend! He's one of my biggest supporters and is always pushing me to stay motivated. I love horror movies, epic tales, tequila, and anything horror. 
My 2025 wrap consisted of Nothing but Thieves, Banks, Bad Omens and Sleep Token.

I have been a photographer for over 10 years, full-time for about 7. My love for photography started with my love of editorial and fine art. I have always wanted my images to feel like something from a movie or fantasy illustration. I love the process of telling a story though the progression of the shoot!

When you hire me, I want you to feel a sense of being known and seen a special way. I want you to look at your photos and feel as though we have captured your essence, whether it be in the most true to self and natural form, or the epic vision you have of yourself! You are art, and I am here to preserve your masterpiece! 

When you think Photography by Shannon Rae, I want you to think striking imagery and strong, confident subjects. I want you to feel the passion poured into each photo. And I want you to be inspired enough to want to create the same magic for yourself!

Say Hi!
