Shannon Chiminiello Photography

When I first saw Shannon's portfolio online, I knew she was the photographer I wanted to photograph a family reunion. My whole family was delighted with Shannon's work. She's a excellent photographer who was able to make the whole process of posing for pictures fun, especially for the children, and the fact that we were all enjoying ourselves shows in the photos she got of us.

Shannon has done photo shoots with our family for several years, and every time we have been so thrilled with the results. She has made the shoots fun and relaxing, which is not always easy with babies and teenagers! Shannon has a great way with making the kids feel comfortable and she is able to capture some great candids that organically happen during the process.

She asks a lot of questions to get to know them better, which enables her to capture their "spirit" in the photos. We cherish the photos we have and love seeing our girls at different ages all around our home.

We found Shannon by chance through an online search and when we recognized a couple of families in her gallery we decided to give her a shot.and we're so glad we did! We now have the absolute best family photos we've every taken! Shannon called before the shoot to go over every detail, from outfits to hair to candy bribes for the kids. She had the perfect location in mind and during the shoot she kept all of us laughing and lighthearted. The kids (3 and 6 year old) actually lasted the entire 2 hours! We couldn't be happier with our experience or the results. Thank you Shannon for the beautiful keepsakes!

I recently had family pictures done with Shannon, and I was absolutely impressed! Would highly recommend. We have a 1.5yo and 3yo so I was a bit nervous to say the least! Shannon helped guide me through picking a perfect location, timing (around naps!), coordinating outfits. everything! My kids instantly warmed to her and she got some amazing pictures, that I absolutely love.

We opted for a 45 minute session and our little guy was fading towards the end, but Shannon still managed to keep him engaged and the pictures prove it. When I saw the pictures, I instantly loved the style. they captured intimate moments, not forced poses. I couldn't be happier :)

Shannon is awesome! My husband and I finally decided it was time to have some family photos done and we enlisted Shannon for the job. She came highly recommended through some friends and she did not disappoint! We have an 11 year old who can rarely take a photo with a genuine smile, a 10 month old who can not sit still and a hyper 2/12 year old dog.

Despite these factors, Shannon was able to capture some amazing photos of our family. Aside from being a really talented photographer, she is very sweet and knows how to make everyone feel at ease. We will definitely be using her again!

Shannon has an amazing talent and is a true professional. I would recommend her to anyone. Unlike other photographers we have used in the past, when I hired Shannon to take photos of my family of six, she really took the time to get to know each of our family members. This enabled her to truly capture their individual personalities, and the love we have for each other.

With two teenagers and two toddlers, she was able to make them smile and laugh, capturing amazing shots. She went to every extreme to get the best photos, even rolling around on the ground to get pictures of my toddlers. These are pictures I will treasure forever and I am so grateful to have captured that moment in time.

I hired Shannon to take photographs of me and my two young boys. Shannon had some great ideas for locations and spent a lot of time with me talking about her artistic style, what to expect on the day of the shoot, and showed me some wonderful ways to display the pictures once I had narrowed down the choices. The process can be overwhelming, but Shannon was there to help guide me through it all every step of the way!

She was professional, kind, and patient on the day of the photoshoot. My boys can be a handful, but Shannon knew how to keep them focused and she captured amazing moments even when I thought it may be next to impossible. Shannon captured our real happiness in the photos and met all of my expectations. I was brought to tears when I saw our photos for the first time. You can really see the love I have for my boys! Thank you Shannon. I will cherish these photos forever!

I would recommend Shannon to anyone and everyone who wants to preserve memories of their family. She is extremely professional and at the same time completely down to earth; she made us feel so comfortable. Working with her was wonderful, but the actual photos were amazing. I called her the instant I started viewing our gallery; I was in tears over how gorgeous the photos were. We will be using Shannon as our family photographer for years to come!
