Shannon Collins clicks camera for queer couples with niche business
We meet photographer Shannon Collins who helps queer couples capture their weddings and other special moments.

ABINGTON, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Shannon Collins is an Abington-based photographer who works predominantly with queer couples shooting weddings and portrait sessions.

Collins identifies as non-binary and queer, as well as autistic and disabled - so they really understand the needs of the community they serve.

Collins finds ways to give back, like a program they founded two year-s ago to donate photo sessions to trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming youth in the Philadelphia area.

They also co-host a monthly meetup with Abington Township Public Library for virtual discussions among LGBTQ+ kids and allies.

Collins' brand values include fluidity, duality, and especially connection - which is what keeps them in demand in business, as well as in their own personal growth.

Collins posts educational resources and personal insights on their blogpost covering a wide range of issues of interest to the community.
