Shanette Westphal

Photographer & Digital Content Consultant

About

I am a professional photographer specializing in visual storytelling, documentary and event photography. In addition to traditional print and gallery services, I use my photography as original content for digital marketing projects. I work directly with my clients to design social media and print marketing and advertising campaigns, offering original images and copy to set their brands apart from the competition. I use a portion of my income toward #photographyforgood and offer pro-bono photography services for select non-profit social causes.
