Bellingham Photographer:

My name is Genaro Shaffer and I am a local Bellingham photographer. Photography is my passion and getting the picture that will entice and compel is what I strive for. My focus is studio lighting indoor or on location. I believe creativity and the right equipment is key to get professional results, that is why I bring studio lighting outside in the daylight to capture unique and powerful images. If your local Bellingham photographer isn’t willing to put in the hard work to get great results, it is time to give me a try, I will not disappoint. And I do not keep the rights to the images!!

I will not hold your pictures hostage!

That’s right I don’t keep the rights to you pictures, after every shoot I will give you a full resolution copy at 100% quality.

I offer outdoor studio flash!

I have invested in the knowledge and equipment to make you pictures unique and amazing! You should never settle for less. If your curious about what this means click here.
