A Photographer With the Deepest Roots in These Communities
Hi, I'm Shannon! I am a milestone portrait, business branding, and headshot photographer.
For Shannon Beauclair, Clyde Hill and Medina are not simply communities she serves — they are communities woven into the fabric of her own life and family story. Shannon's in-laws called both Medina and Clyde Hill home over the years, and Shannon's own children spent countless afternoons and holidays at their grandparents' homes in these neighborhoods — running through those carefully tended gardens, watching the light shift over Lake Washington, and building the kind of memories that only happen when a place truly feels like home.
And then there is the day that stands above all others. Shannon was married at her in-laws' home in Medina in 1990 — a day that forever connected her to this extraordinary community. More than thirty years later, that bond remains.
When Shannon photographs a Medina or Clyde Hill family, she isn't arriving as an outsider. She is returning to a place she has loved for decades — and that shows in every image she creates here. The trust, the warmth, the understanding of what these communities value and how their families want to be seen — it is all there, rooted in a personal history that no other portrait photographer in the area can claim.
