I would need to think about it and figure out if the shadow is really visible or not. It's a neat idea.
There are already a couple of photos of lander shadows. They've been posted here before. But they were taken from command modules orbiting the moon during the Apollo missions.

There's also the Clementine image of the ground disturbances of the Apollo 15 landing site. (Note, the link doesn't mention it, but I believe it is NOT a visible light photo.)
