Hello! I’m Shawna Riniker, the photographer behind PhotosByShawna. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and have been professionally capturing moments since 2011—making this my 15th year in business.

Photography has taken me around the world to 27 countries (and counting), shaping not only my artistic perspective but also my appreciation for diverse cultures, lifestyles, and stories. These experiences have deeply influenced my approach behind the camera.

I believe the most powerful photographs aren’t just about the moment—they’re about everything that surrounds it. The laughter before, the quiet in-between, the emotion after. Those candid, unscripted seconds are what truly make an image unforgettable.

My style has been described as fun, artistic, inclusive, creative, and uniquely personal. I strive to create an experience where you feel comfortable, confident, and completely yourself.

Take a look at my work—I’d love for you to see the story through my lens.
