Looking for Something Different in Your Family Photographs?
Marin Mommies presents a sponsored shout-out article from Shannon Chiminiello Photography.
For me, the best family photographs are about connection.
Sometimes that means a beautiful, thoughtfully composed portrait with everyone looking at the camera. Other times, the photograph you love most may be one where no one is looking at the camera—or even smiling. It might be a quiet expression, a child leaning into a parent, siblings caught in their own moment, or an interaction that never could have been perfectly planned.
My sessions are relaxed and playful, with enough direction to create polished, high-quality family portraits and enough freedom for more spontaneous, artful moments to unfold.
I’ve been photographing families professionally since 2008 and was honored to be recognized by Marin Magazine’s Best of the County 2026.
If you’re looking for something a little different—a collection that gives you the photographs you expect along with the ones you never could have planned—I’d love to photograph your family.
Fall family sessions are now booking throughout Marin County.
