Choosing The Right Photographer In The Twin Cities
In the vibrant Twin Cities, selecting the perfect photographer to capture life’s most cherished moments and one who resonates with your style and vision can be a daunting task.

A Twin Cities Photographer For The Soul
Are you someone who effortlessly combines a laid-back vibe with a touch of organization? Do you possess a creative spirit and hold a deep appreciation for art with a hint of luxury? If so, you’ve found your photographer.
A Creative Spirit in the Twin Cities
In the land of a thousand lakes, where the Mississippi River weaves its story through the heart of the state, creativity blooms.

Discovering the Extraordinary in the Ordinary
With my lens, I delve deep into the human spirit. I believe that every person has a unique story to tell, and it’s my privilege to be the storyteller through the lens. The result? Timeless masterpieces that don’t just record events but evoke emotions, provoke self-reflection, and unveil the profound beauty within each of us.

Magnetic portraits for modern dating, branding, & beyond
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.
