Business Photographers in Portland, OR

Rooted Photography & Studio Hi! I am Shawna! I am a passionate mother and creator who is driven by the constant practice of self-love and compassion. I value a loving community and untraditional ways of living life. Photography has been a part of my life for the past ten years, and I have had a few different relationships with this passion. I met this career as a contracted photographer in Pennsylvania, with a focus on female bodies and empowering those who were seeking. I then moved into freelance modeling, where I traveled nomadically for most of my 20s. Now, I call Portland, OR my home, where I am raising a beautiful daughter and dove back into my roots of photography. I truly enjoy spending time with my clients and am so honored for everyone who has allowed me into their space to capture a part of their life. I always strive to bring empathy and calmness so you can walk away from our shoot feeling confident in the time we spent together. I love adventures! I have a variety of locations I can provide. I also shoot film photography and love to incorporate that into my sessions.

Our customers continually rate us as one of Oregon's best event and wedding videography organizations. Check us out here, on weddingwire.com, on theknot.com, or anywhere else you find us. We offer unparalleled customer service, unrivaled work quality, and all-around stellar products. Check us out! In addition to our weddings, we do tons of other stuff: corporate work (we've shot for multinational corporations, law firms, medical companies, non-profits and for-profits...; we've done a bit of everything), real-estate, birthdays and anniversaries, senior and family portraits, and the list goes on. I love talking to people, making that first connection, and then building on it over the following weeks or months. So many of my customers have become long-term friends simply through the relationship we build leading up to their big day, and I wouldn't ever have it any other way. I love everything about my job, but the people truly are the most magnificent part. It's cheesy but so true: I love talking to people.

Welcome to my photography services, where capturing moments is not just an art form but a celebration of diversity and inclusivity. As a proud minority-owned business, I offer a unique perspective and a deep understanding of the importance of representation in photography. One of my strengths lies in my ability to use vibrant and eye-catching pop colors, bringing life and energy to every image I capture. This distinctive style adds a touch of boldness and personality, ensuring that your photographs stand out from the crowd and evoke a sense of joy and excitement. Moreover, I specialize in capturing the beauty and essence of people of color. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to showcasing the rich diversity of skin tones, cultures, and stories, I aim to create stunning portraits that resonate with authenticity and pride. I understand the nuances of lighting and composition that can enhance and highlight the unique features and experiences of individuals from different backgrounds. By choosing me as your photographer, you not only support a minority-owned business, but you also gain a partner who is passionate about celebrating diversity, promoting inclusivity, and honoring the beauty of all individuals. I bring professionalism, technical expertise, and a genuine commitment to capturing moments that matter most to you. Let's embark on a photographic journey together, where your stories come to life through vivid pop colors and the empowering representation of people of color.
