Welcome to my photography website!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting Shutter Happens Photography!

My name is Mark David Zahn and I'm a hobbyist photographer living in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  Photography isn't my job, but it's certainly a passion of mine.  I'd call myself an "accelerated amateur," as everything you see in my work was self-taught.  While I'm not skilled enough to make this passion a full-time endeavor for myself, it provides me a creative outlet and relaxing respite from my otherwise hectic life.

I started this website as a way for those who like to follow my portfolio can easily enjoy it and share it with others.  

Many people have asked me where they can purchase copies of my photos, and that prompted me to make my catalog available online.  It's also my sole means of supporting my photography hobby.  I have a low-paying day job and I'm a new father, so this is my way of helping defray costs I incur from my photography hobby -- supplies, upgrades/repairs to my gear, travel, and so forth.

Whether you merely browse and enjoy my work online or decide to help support me by purchasing an item or two for your home, I sincerely appreciate your visit.  Feel free to leave comments on individual photos you see here, or drop me a line.
