Capturing The Journey From Bump To Baby
In the beautiful journey from bump to baby, my maternity and newborn photography sessions create lasting memories. Join me at Shannon Kathleen Photography as I explore the art of capturing these cherished moments, from the glow of pregnancy to the tender arrival of your newborn. Discover how my combined maternity and newborn sessions not only save you $200, but also ensure a seamless visual narrative of this extraordinary journey.
Pregnancy is a remarkable journey filled with anticipation, excitement, and a profound sense of wonder. As a maternity and newborn photographer, I am truly privileged to be a part of this special chapter in the lives of so many families.
Who Am I ?
Hello! I’m Shannon, your go-to Twin Cities Creative Senior, Maternity, and Newborn Lifestyle Photographer. I am for those who effortlessly blend a laid-back vibe with a touch of organization, posses a creative spirit, and hold a deep appreciation for art and a hint of luxury. With my creative and emotive natural light portraits, I strive to elevate photography beyond the ordinary and delve deep into the human spirit. My vision is to capture the very essence of your soul, crafting timeless masterpieces that evoke emotions, provoke self-reflection, and unveil the profound beauty within each of us.
My Maternity Photography Sessions: Celebrating the Beauty of Expecting
Maternity sessions are a way to celebrate the beauty, strength, and love that surround the arrival of your little one. During these sessions, I aim to capture the radiant glow of an expectant mother, the tender connection between partners, and the excitement of siblings-to-be.
One thing many soon-to-be parents wonder is when the ideal time for a maternity session is. While the classic timeframe is around 30 weeks, I have conducted sessions as early as 6 months. The key is to find the time that makes you feel comfortable and confident.
What sets my maternity sessions apart is the option for moody, in-home photoshoots. This is particularly appealing for those expecting during the winter months in Minnesota, where outdoor sessions can be quite challenging. These in-home sessions allow you to embrace the coziness of your own space and create truly intimate memories.
My Newborn Photography Sessions: Welcoming Your Little Miracle
After your deposit is paid, and once the baby is born, you will contact me and we will book your Newborn session between 5-15 days after birth, however I am flexible on this. We will schedule accordingly.
Once your bundle of joy arrives, it’s time to capture those precious early moments that seem to pass in the blink of an eye. Newborn sessions are all about preserving the tiny details, the delicate features, and the overwhelming love that fills your home.
I conduct these sessions in the comfort of your own home, creating a relaxed and familiar environment for your baby. My approach is to let the baby guide the session, ensuring they are comfortable and content throughout.
Save $200 When You Book Both!
To make the journey even more special, I offer a unique opportunity for savings. When you book both your maternity and newborn sessions together, you’ll save $200! Each session is $750, but when booked together, they are only $1300. This not only eases the planning process but also ensures that you capture every step of this incredible journey. And a Maternity session is a nice way for us to get to know each other before your Newborn session!
From the radiant glow of pregnancy to the tiny toes and fingers of your newborn, I am committed to preserving these moments in time, so you can cherish them for generations to come.
If you’re expecting and want to embark on this journey of photography with me, please don’t hesitate to GET IN TOUCH. Let’s celebrate your growing family and create timeless memories together.

Dating Photos That Work™
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.
