Molly B Shanahan

Wildlife, Landscape, & Travel Photography

Hi, I'm Molly!

I’m the photographer behind Molly B by the Sea. My love for photography is deeply tied to my connection with the ocean, shaped by over a decade spent working on the water. Since 2014, I’ve been capturing the beauty of marine life and the natural world as a Photographer and Deckhand for Granite State Whale Watch. 

Working alongside marine biologists and conservationists, I’ve had the privilege of photographing whales, sharks, seals, and other incredible wildlife in their natural habitat. These moments have not only fueled my passion for wildlife photography but have also inspired me to create visual stories that reflect the beauty and importance of our environment.

When I’m not on the water, I’m working with brands to bring their products to life through outdoor lifestyle photography. From rugged coastlines to serene seascapes, I seek to capture authentic moments that connect people to nature and the outdoors.

Whether you’re here to find your next destination, hiking adventure, or just for the photos I hope you find what you’re looking for!
