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!”

Shannon OMalley

I am a photographer and dating strategist specializing in natural-light portraits that feel confident, approachable, and genuinely reflective of who you are. Whether I’m shooting a Dating Photos That Work™ session or a high-level personal branding project, my goal is to create images that are honest, not performative.

My Approach

Rooted in emotional intelligence and over 16 years of experience, my process is designed for the “unphotogenic.” I believe the best photos happen when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself and seen enough to trust the process. A strong image isn’t about vanity—it’s about clarity. It is the first impression that shapes how the world perceives you before you ever say a word.

The Personal Side

My journey includes a decade of single motherhood, entrepreneurship, and a national CBS News feature on the psychology of first impressions. But perhaps my favorite “proof of concept” is my own: I met my husband on Bumble at age 42. I’ve seen firsthand how a strategic, authentic online presence can transform your life and lead to real, aligned connection.

The Relocation (Dallas & Minneapolis)

End of April 2026, my family and I officially relocated to Dallas, Texas. While I am now locally serving the DFW Metroplex, the Twin Cities will always be a part of my story. I continue to offer my signature photography experience in Minneapolis–St. Paul through exclusive quarterly residency sessions.

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me with my husband, my son, and our beautifully blended family, soaking up our new Texas life (and probably hunting for the best patio in Dallas).

If you’re here because you’re ready for photos that actually feel like you, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad you found your way here.
