Shiny Penny Studios is a team of experienced event photographers and content creators focused on capturing genuine visual memories.

Brought together by the magic of theatre and community, Keli, Hannah, and Whitney met backstage working on theatre projects in Cleveland community theatre. Keli quickly realized that the theatre kids already loved visual storytelling combined with an organic and healthy understanding of event logistics, and quality imagery. Making important events stress-free and fun is our specialty. From planning to execution, the team is focused on helping people get the best content by guiding them through their entire event. We happily do what needs to be done to get the job done. Sometimes that means ironing pants, supplying a safety pin, singing baby-shark 15 times, or knowing when the leading players need to take a break. We join forces on bigger events like weddings and art galas while each keeping our specialty focus areas like newborn posing and senior high school photography.

We are a female, minority, and LGBTQ+-owned company that honors diversity. Our business management style is rooted in sustainability, and we practice leave-no-trace principles.
