Capturing Joy: The Power of Personality Portraits for Your Kids
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!
1. Adorn Your Walls with Life-Sized Prints of These Personality Portraits for Kids:
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!
2. Create Personalized Photo Books with Your Personality Portraits:
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.
3. Craft a Striking Gallery Wall:
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.
4. Unique Gift Ideas with 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, a Twin Cities-based (soon-to-be Dallas, TX!) photographer specializing in online dating profile photography, personal branding photography, business headshots, and senior portraits. Whether you’re updating your dating apps, refreshing your LinkedIn profile, building your business brand, or celebrating a senior year milestone, I create natural light portraits that boost confidence and help you stand out — authentically.
With 15+ years of experience — and a personal journey from single mom to entrepreneur (and a CBS feature along the way) — I know the power of a photograph to tell your story. From attracting more meaningful matches, landing dream clients, or marking life’s big moments, I create relaxed, real portraits that feel like you while making a lasting first impression.
I’m also the creator of the Empowered Evolution Mentorship Program for photographers, where I teach creative entrepreneurs how to build profitable photography businesses through intentional marketing, SEO strategies, and streamlined workflows.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me with my husband, my son, and our beautifully blended family, savoring life’s everyday moments here in Minneapolis–St. Paul (at least for now!). We’re relocating to Dallas, Texas in 2026 — and I’ll soon be offering my signature branding and dating photography experience in the DFW area.
📸 Ready for natural photos that actually feel like you? Whether you need dating photos, professional headshots, or personal branding portraits, I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel confident and aligned with your next chapter. Let’s book your session today.
