In the fast-paced journey of childhood, capturing the essence of your kids becomes a priceless treasure. Personality portraits for your kids offer more than just a visual memory; they immortalize the joy, the quirks, and the uniqueness that defines your child. But the benefits don’t end there — once you have these treasures in hand, the creative possibilities are endless!



Receive a gallery of high-resolution images ready for printing. Go big by printing life-sized posters, perfect for showcasing your child’s vibrant personality. Affordable frames from Michael’s or Hobby Lobby can transform these prints into stunning wall art. Any poster sized (24×36) frame should do! Another website that does a great job is Smallwood Home! You have got to get these images on your walls!
Our sessions include two digital images, but the gallery often offers more for purchase. Consider getting the whole gallery and craft mini flip books for each child. Artifact Uprising’s mini-books are a delightful and cost-effective way to preserve those precious expressions year after year.
Don’t have space for life-sized prints? Create a captivating gallery wall featuring your child’s various expressions. For families with multiple kids, use these fun and playful grids to showcase the essence of each unique personality.
Personality portraits offer a unique opportunity to gather “gifts for_______” content. Surprise Grandma with a graceful smiling portrait or bring a laugh to Dad with socks featuring your kiddo’s face. These portraits provide the perfect content for gifts that will bring joy to every family member.
Elevate your home with personality portraits, turning fleeting moments into everlasting joy. Book your Personality Portrait Mini Session in the Twin Cities and let the magic unfold!
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.
