COME AND CELEBRATE MOTHERHOOD!!
~Barbara Kingsolver
EXCITING LIMITED OFFER TO CELEBRATE MOTHERHOOD!!
I am currently offering limited in studio mini sessions to celebrate Motherhood! This special offer is for those who are pregnant and looking for a few artistic images documenting their maternity (women only). This is also for you Mommas out there! Grab your kid(s) and get some cozy, artistic, and loving images of you and your child(ren) just in time for Mother’s Day! Children of all ages welcome to come in with mom.
WHAT TO WEAR TO CAPTURE YOUR MOMENT IN MOTHERHOOD?
Honestly just think chill… like it is Sunday afternoon and you have nowhere to be but home cozying up to your kids or loved one. Loose fitting and light colored clothing is best.
- MOMMAS: Wear something you love from your closet. Maybe a dress or keep it cozy in a tank top and undies or joggers. I will also have a few dresses with me (<—click to see)… 3 dresses that are the same but different colors: black, burgundy, marigold (yellow). It’s always fun to wear something different! These dresses offer so much texture and really look flattering on just about anyone! They are also very baby bump friendly!! I want you to feel comfortable and I’d love it if you looked and felt relaxed and chill. I’ll also ask that you be barefoot; shoes need to come off in the studio anyways!
- BABIES/KIDS: Babies typically look best wrapped up in a plain light colored blanket or wearing a well-fitting gown or set or just a plain white onesie or even better – just a diaper! Showing their bare little bellies is always a win! FOR CHILDREN AND BIG KIDS I’d recommend plain white tank tops or white tee shirts. If it’s normal for them to run around in a little white tank or tee and their undies, do that! I want these to look like they are straight out of the warmth of your home and hearts. Neutrals and Earth tones are also wonderfully dreamy.
THE BEST COLOR PALLET FOR PHOTOS IN MY OPINION
OK! NOW, HOW ABOUT SOME MORE INFORMATION!?
XO Shannon
Oh hey there, nice to meet you!
I’m Shannon, a Twin Cities-based (soon-to-be Dallas, TX!) photographer specializing in online dating profile photography, personal branding photography, business headshots, and senior portraits. Whether you’re updating your dating apps, refreshing your LinkedIn profile, building your business brand, or celebrating a senior year milestone, I create natural light portraits that boost confidence and help you stand out — authentically.
With 15+ years of experience — and a personal journey from single mom to entrepreneur (and a CBS feature along the way) — I know the power of a photograph to tell your story. From attracting more meaningful matches, landing dream clients, or marking life’s big moments, I create relaxed, real portraits that feel like you while making a lasting first impression.
I’m also the creator of the Empowered Evolution Mentorship Program for photographers, where I teach creative entrepreneurs how to build profitable photography businesses through intentional marketing, SEO strategies, and streamlined workflows.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me with my husband, my son, and our beautifully blended family, savoring life’s everyday moments here in Minneapolis–St. Paul (at least for now!). We’re relocating to Dallas, Texas in 2026 — and I’ll soon be offering my signature branding and dating photography experience in the DFW area.
📸 Ready for natural photos that actually feel like you? Whether you need dating photos, professional headshots, or personal branding portraits, I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel confident and aligned with your next chapter. Let’s book your session today.
