What our Clients Say

Ed recently did a portrait of me for a job I took as a consultant for a dental management company. The trick was to make the lighting, backdrop, etc., etc., match with the other consultant's portraits that were all taken at the same time and are posted on the company's website. Ed went to the website, reviewed the portraits, and created my portrait that exactly matches the other consultants photos. You cannot tell they were taken by different photographers at different times. As a "very" amateur photographer, I know just enough to know how difficult this project was and thus the photographic skills Ed has. He even made me look good! - Paul 

Ed helped our headshot vision become reality! We provided him with some initial feedback and he scouted out an area and a scene and kindly took many, many shots to get it right. He is kind, patient and detailed oriented - all of the essentials to make a great photographer. Thanks Ed! - Blair 

Breakaway Images, more specifically Ed Shanahan, was a pleasure to work. Ed is professional and extremely knowledgeable on how to capture the best in us. Thank you! – Simmie 

I am so pleased with what Ed did for me! I am a reluctant photography subject, and he made me feel very comfortable, relaxed and unselfconscious. As a result, he was able to get a very natural picture of me. It's just what I wanted since I conduct a hands-on type boutique Real Estate business not a glossy fake facsimile. The headshot reveals my excitement and enthusiasm for helping people and Ed does the same for his clients. I appreciate his skill! – Clare  

Thank you Ed, I love my headshot this year just as I did 2 years ago. - Myra 

I had a great experience with Ed and Breakaway Photography. Ed is extremely bright and saavy. Not only did he do a great job of shooting business photos for my Linkedin profile, but he provided business insight that would be hard to come by with other photographers. Things such as business poses, color interpretations, posture, etc. The photos came out great and many people on Linkedin have asked where I got my photo done. I am also in the process of buying some of Ed's photos and I've seen most if not all of them. They are eye-popping. His skill and dedication to photography is clearly evident in his wonderful landscape shots. - Evan  

I had a deadline! And Ed was so quick to contact me and set up the appointment, get the pics and turn them around! Much appreciated! I'm not a fan of myself in pics, but my mom loves my headshot!! That says it all!  - Denise 

I had the total pleasure of working with Ed recently on a new headshot for my website. I don't particularly care to be photographed, but Ed made the process relaxing, fun and easy! He offered helpful suggestions and guidance both before and during the photo session, which I really appreciated. Soon after the shoot, Ed sent me a bunch of great photos to choose from. I've received a ton of positive feedback about my new headshot and have discovered that there's nothing like a fabulous photographer! - Karyn 

Ed worked with me on my professional photos, which I use for my LinkedIn profile and other professional purposes. He was very easy to work with. He worked with my schedule and provided a number of options. He is a very talented photographer, and it is clear he cares about his work and his customers. - Joe 

What a terrific experience - I am thrilled with my photos that Ed took for my new website and social media! Ed shot the photos in my home and did an amazing job turning it into a great little studio! The lighting was very challenging, but Ed worked it with ease. We did several different types of shots and in several different wardrobe looks. Ed was great at making me feel comfortable in front of the camera and cuing me on positions for the professional look I was after. I had never done a photo shoot before and Ed gave great direction, explained the process from start to finish and gave me an incredible selection of photos to choose from in the end. Ed has great attention to detail and worked within a short deadline. It was a great experience yielding terrific results - I will definitely recommend him and also go back for future updates! - Kristin

I'm back again! Another incredible shoot with Ed! He is absolutely fabulous to work with! He understood clearly the type of shots I wanted to add to my portfolio and the results of our photo shoot were beyond 100% successful! Ed helped me relax in front of the camera while he worked his technical genius and the results were very natural looking and professional photos. This is the second time I've worked with Ed and I know there will be a third as my business evolves. Thank you, Ed! - Kristin
