I’m bubbling with excitement to share a sneak peek into something truly magical that’s coming your way: Twin Cities Personality Portraits!
They’re not just pictures. They’re a celebration of your child’s unique essence, capturing the laughter, the curious glances, the playful pouts, and all those tiny details that make them who they are. We’re about to embark on a journey of expression, authenticity, and genuine smiles. They also unlock your child’s confidence. My Personality Portraits create confidence by creating a space and environment where kids feel totally comfortable being their whole selves. From serious to silly, fun to pouty, introverted to extroverted – it’s about providing a secure space for them to explore and embrace their individuality.
Because childhood is fleeting, and every stage deserves to be preserved in a way that truly reflects your child’s personality. These portraits are not just for today; they’re a time capsule that will make you smile, reminisce, and maybe even shed a tear when you look back years from now.





🌟 Wholesome Moments: From giggles to pouts, I’ll capture the genuine expressions that define your child.
🌈 Playful Atmosphere: My sessions are designed to be fun and relaxed, allowing your child’s personality to shine.
📸 Exclusive Location: I’m curating a unique spot in [central based to Minneapolis/St. Paul] that adds magic to each frame.
Simple! Join my email list, and you’ll be the VIP in the front row when booking goes live. Click HERE to sign up. Be ready to secure your spot because I have limited sessions available for these Twin Cities Personality Portraits!
Let’s turn fleeting moments into timeless memories, one Personality Portrait at a time.
Saturday, February 17th 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
oh hey there, nice to meet you!
As your premier Twin Cities Natural Light Photographer, I cater to those who effortlessly blend a laid-back aura with refined organization, showcasing a creative spirit and an exquisite taste for art and luxury.
More than just a photographer, I am a storyteller passionate about capturing the authentic essence of individuals and families. Your unique spirit propels me to create images that transcend the superficial, unveiling layers of personality and connections that narrate your distinctive journey.
For me, creativity is not merely about freezing moments; it’s about composing visual poetry. Each session is an immersive experience, a journey that seamlessly combines relaxation with luxury.

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.
