Discover Top Reporters / Journalist in Lakeland, Florida, USA

Hi, I'm Shannon Wolfgang, mom of two and a native of Orlando. I have seen our beautiful city grow in many ways and have been able to experience various trends and cultures while capturing moments. I share our adventures of art, travel, food, and fun in the images I take while promoting the Central Florida area and beyond. It is fun experiencing some old yet new adventures within my children's eyes. After graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Magazine Journalism, I realized I had a passion for storytelling, and I love to talk. I landed back in O-town and started a 10+ year career in print and digital media designing for various national magazine publications. During those years, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work overseas on a fashion magazine in a foreign language. After working a decade at the magazine company in Winter Park, I went out on my own as a freelancer, which included contract work for national brands and various agencies around Orlando. One client turned full time for 3.5 years, but I went out on my own once again. This time was different, and we turned everything we knew into a business. I always wanted to help people, and this was a way I could artistically.

My wife (Riley) and I are a 2 person team. We've been shooting/hosting/producing for almost 2 decades. Though we've produced a bunch for the Travel Channel and done some corporate work, our primary focus is children's media. You can see tons of examples of the kids' stuff on our site (below) and a few examples of our corporate/Travel Channel stuff. No matter who the intended audience is, though, all of our productions have a fun, upbeat vibe to 'em.
