COME AND CELEBRATE MOTHERHOOD!!

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!?

Shannon OMalley

Hi — I’m Shannon O’Malley.
I’m a Minneapolis-based (soon-to-be Dallas, TX) photographer specializing in online dating profile photography, personal branding portraits, business headshots, and senior sessions. I work with people who want photos that feel natural, confident, and genuinely reflective of who they are — not stiff, overproduced, or performative.
My approach is rooted in natural light, ease, and emotional intelligence. I believe the best photos happen when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves — and seen enough to trust the process. Whether someone is stepping back into dating, refining their professional presence, or marking a meaningful season of life, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel honest and quietly powerful.
With over 15 years of experience behind the camera — and a journey that includes single motherhood, entrepreneurship, and a national CBS feature — I’ve seen firsthand how much impact the right photos can have. A strong image isn’t about vanity. It’s about clarity. It’s often the first impression that shapes how others perceive you — before you ever get the chance to explain yourself.
This blog is where I share insights on photography, visibility, confidence, and showing up with intention — both on and off camera.
When I’m not photographing clients, you’ll usually find me with my husband, my son, and our beautifully blended family — soaking up everyday life here in the Twin Cities (for now). We’ll be relocating to Dallas, Texas in 2026, where I’ll continue offering my signature photography experience for daters, creatives, and business owners throughout the DFW area.
If you’re here because you want photos that actually feel like you, you’re in the right place. I’m glad you found your way here.
