Committee recommends compensating local photographer for town images
Summary
The committee discussed using photographer Paula Shannon's images for town scenery and recommended compensating her approximately $200 for a set of 10–12 photos, while using school-supplied photos for athletics and student programs.
Sharon reported that she had reached out to local photographer Paula Shannon about supplying high-quality photos for the town’s brochure and website. According to Sharon, Paula proposed a fee of approximately $200 for a set of 10–12 photos and said she was "not focused on the money," though the committee discussed the importance of compensating her fairly and recommending that amount to council.
Committee members agreed the town should use Paula’s photographs primarily for general town scenery and community imagery, while relying on school-supplied images for athletics and student programs. The committee discussed a back-panel photo collage for the brochure and the potential for the school community to assist with photography and design support.
The committee asked staff and volunteers to follow up on contacts and to recommend a photography budget to the council at a future meeting.
