Event Photography
I specialize in event photography that focuses on everyone who makes the event possible. Acknowledging these partners through photos on your social media channels, newsletter and website creates a connection between you and them. That inspires people to come back year after year. Retaining sponsors and vendors is key to a successful event. Thanks to my experience with Washington Festival Events and Association workshops, I understand what's important at your event so I can inspire through my fun, exciting approach to photography.
My clients love how hard I work and that they receive images speedily that show the joy and color of their event, images perfect for company web pages, social media channels, newsletters, annual reports, brochures, asks, thank you cards, event invitations and so much more.
Let's chit-chat about what's important to you and your event so I can do a stellar job!

I very much enjoyed working with Shanna. She’s professional yet fun.
She has a fantastic photographer’s eye and knows how to capture spectacular photos. I’ll definitely be booking her for my future photography needs.

Photographing a festival is not an easy task. Shanna was able to capture the story, the vibe and the essence of Olympia Harbor Days.
A three-day, twenty-hour, seven-block, waterfront festival with 33 tugs and ships; 250 vendors, activities and bands and 60,000 attendees. She even had photos ready for us to share within a week of the event. Now that we have a full library of photos, we plan to bring Shanna back to capture the highlights in the years to come.

We recently worked with Shanna Paxton Photography to capture images of our Habitat for Humanity Stores, volunteers and families.
Not only did we get phenomenal photographs, we also got the pleasure of working with Shanna, {who is] truly a pleasure to be around and work with. We just can't say enough amazing things about Shanna’s photos. They turned out perfect!
– Development Director Shawna Dutton
Investment
Our event packages are catered to individual needs on a variable scale. After the initial deposit, the remaining fee will be due the day of the event. Images are delivered quickly through an online link for download.
I’d love to hear about your event. Reach out now to see how I can help!
book your event
Depending on what we talked about during our call, this could take up to a week. Often, however, I’m able to complete the job in two days or less.
We try to plan ahead of time how long you'll need me, but if you find you need me to stay I usually can. I’ll invoice you after the event but before I deliver the images.
It happens. Put them in touch with me through email, and I’ll make sure they get the image settings that best suit their needs.
We love a credit line, as it helps us get the word out about what we do. If the image is online in something like a blog article or annual report, please include “Photos by Shanna Paxton Photography” in an appropriate place. If you post the images on social media channels, tag them as @ShannaPaxtonPhotography on Insta and Facebook. If you have further questions about this, please reach out.
