Exciting News!!

Hello everyone!!

I have been hand-selected by RAW Artists Minneapolis to show my work at their next highly anticipated artist showcase “ARISE“, but I need your help!

The event will be held at THE POURHOUSE, Aug 7th, 2019 from 7:00PM-11:00PM. The event is 18+ and all guests need a valid ID. There is going to be local artists exhibiting art over a variety of genres and mediums including visual arts, photography, hair & make-up, fashion, accessory design, music and performance art.

Please consider your support so that I could be a part of this amazing event! Not only can this event help me network with other great local artists and expose me to 700+ attendees, and it can help me expand nationally as well!

Here’s what participating in this showcase does for me:

• First there is the chance to network and make new amazing connections with the community of artists they work with and permanent portfolio placement on the RAW website!

• I’ll have professional artist head-shots done and receive professional pictures of my (performance / work).

• It gives me an opportunity to showcase again outside of Minneapolis at any other RAW location of my choice in a new market!

• I will also be automatically eligible to join the newest branch of their company called FOUND: Agency, which is a creative agency where they actually link up their artists with clients for work, campaigns, paid gigs, and similar opportunities!

All I have to do is sell 20 tickets to help promote the event, those tickets completely cover my cost of exhibiting. Your support would be greatly appreciated. The tickets are only $25.00 and need to be sold by July 31,2019 in order for me to participate. If you buy them from me, you get the pre-sale price and save $10.00, as they go up to $35 at the door.

PLUS

In addition to supporting me and my work you will also be able to see over 50 other great artists and vendors, including live dance performances, live bands, our in house DJ, live hair and makeup on models, and an amazing runway fashion show featuring local fashion designers!!

You can purchase tickets right from my RAW artist profile:

If you are unable to attend, you can still purchase a ticket to support my participation and help facilitate this great opportunity. This will open up a guest list spot for me to invite anyone who can attend! 🙂 

Come on out to this awesome event and immerse yourself in the diversity and originality of the local creative culture. Explore the pop-up visual art gallery and artisan shops, while watching live performances and runway fashion shows!

“This is not your average art show. We are loud, colorful, creative, and all about supporting local art. We are RAW!”

Oh hey there, nice to meet you!
I’m Shannon O’Malley— a Minneapolis-based (soon-to-be Dallas, TX!) photographer who specializes in online dating profile photography, personal branding portraits, business headshots, and senior sessions. Whether you’re showing up on dating apps, LinkedIn, or your website, I create natural light photos that help you feel confident, magnetic, and true to yourself.
With over 15 years of experience — and a journey that’s taken me from single mom to entrepreneur (with a CBS feature along the way) — I’ve seen firsthand how the right photos can open doors. From attracting more aligned matches to landing dream clients, your image is often the first impression. Let’s make it count.
I also help service providers and creatives get discovered through AI search tools like ChatGPT. I’m the creator of the AI Discovery Checklist and the upcoming course Booked by ChatGPT, designed to help people like you show up where your dream clients are already asking, “Who should I hire?”
Oh, and I’m also the founder of the Empowered Evolution Mentorship Program — where I teach photographers how to build profitable, sustainable businesses with intentional marketing, smart SEO, and systems that don’t burn you out.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me with my husband, my son, and our beautifully blended family — soaking up everyday joy here in the Twin Cities (for now!). We’re relocating to Dallas, Texas in 2026, where I’ll continue offering my signature photography experience for daters, creatives, and business owners in the DFW area.
Ready for photos that actually feel like you? Whether you’re leveling up your dating profile, your personal brand, or your online visibility, I’ll guide you every step of the way.Let’s book your session — or start with the free AI Discovery Checklist.
