Giving Back
Giving back to help save lives
Photography is a powerful tool
I strongly believe in giving back, particularly when it comes to assisting pets in need. Over the years, I've been intimately involved in rescuing both dogs and horses – pet advocacy is a fundamental part of who I am. This commitment naturally extends to my photography work. In recent years, I've made it a priority to dedicate a portion of my time and resources to volunteering my photography services to aid dogs in need.
As a passionate animal lover and professional photographer, there's immense satisfaction in capturing stunning portraits of rescue dogs. Whether highlighting their unique personalities, their moments of joy, or the challenges they may face, I'm honored to play a role in helping these dogs find their forever homes.
Pet Rescue Organizations
If you are involved with a local pet rescue organization (registered 501(c)3 non-profit status required) and wish to have Shannon Edney Photography photograph your adoptable dogs, please contact me – I would love to help in some way if possible.
YES, I am interested in having stunning portraits taken of rescue dogs for my non-profit organization!

Shannon volunteers her talents to showcase Montana Pittie Project rescue dogs, she works tirelessly donating her time and her amazing editing and promotional skills.
She has been instrumental in helping MPP reach more forever homes for our pups. Shannon’s talent in her beautiful photography is only eclipsed by her tremendously big heart for the dogs we hold so dear.
Thank you Shannon!

Great Pyrenees Rescue Montana had the pleasure of encountering Shannon at PetFest in Missoula. From that meeting forward the incredible Photographer Shannon Edney has enriched the lives of many of our rescue dogs.
She first took outstanding individual photos for our website and Facebook, then she took it upon herself to create a gorgeous 2024 calendar featuring many of those dogs. To top that off she allowed us to market the calendars with the proceeds donated to our rescue!
Shannon’s love for animals is apparent in the caring work that she does to present them at their best. We are so very thankful for Shannon, her work and her generosity.

Shannon has been such a joy to work with~! She has elevated our efforts to get our rescue dogs seen on social media to a wider audience, while offering new ways to have quality products to add to our fundraising events that help our dogs in need.
She efficiently captures their beauty, intelligence, and personalities. Which has aided our adoptions greatly.
Thank you~!
