Ryan R Shaffer - Eleven Eleven Portraits

Hi, I’m Ryan Shaffer

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph sports and events at the professional level, where timing, anticipation, and attention to detail are everything. That experience taught me how to recognize meaningful moments before they happen and capture them when they do. Today, I bring that same approach to every session, whether it’s a family portrait, a senior photo, or a big game. No matter the setting, my focus is always on creating images that feel authentic and stand the test of time.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family or out exploring the area looking for the next great photo!


My Approach

I try to keep every session relaxed and natural. Most people aren’t used to being in front of a camera, so my goal is to make the experience comfortable and easy. I’ll guide you when needed, but I’m always looking for the real moments that happen in between: the smiles, interactions, and little details that make photos feel genuine.

Simple ideas

I love simplicity, and bringing your personality out in each shot. I want moments, not props!

Lasting impact

After your session, I’ll also give you the option to get prints within two days. I want to make sure your memories are showcased well beyond social media!
