I'm Shannon

I help people create photographs that feel natural, confident, and genuinely like them—whether they’re updating a dating profile, building a personal brand, or documenting a meaningful season of life.

I’m based in Dallas, with select Twin Cities dates throughout the year. After 16+ years behind the camera, the part of this work I still care about most is helping people feel comfortable enough to actually look like themselves.

What clients often tell me after their session

""

“Multiple women have told me my profile stands out because of the photos. I’ve had 9 dates in two weeks and I’m connecting with smart, interesting, accomplished women. These photos absolutely give me an edge.”

- Jon

“Shannon took the time to truly understand our brand and brought our vision to life even better than we imagined. We’re obsessed with the results and can’t wait to work with her again!”

- Kamber, Therapy Mavens
