Local Photography in Hillsboro, OR

I've been a family photographer since 2012, and I truly love what I do. I specialize in capturing natural and heartfelt moments that reflect your families real connection. There are no stiff smiles or forced poses in my photos. My sessions are relaxed and fun, especially for kids (and camera shy adults) and I know how to gently guide you while keeping things light and stress free. With over a decade of experience photographing families in Portland, Oregon, you can trust me to deliver beautiful, timeless images you'll treasure forever. I always help my clients pick their locations and make custom Pinterest boards for their outfits as well.

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.
