Rooted Photography & Studio I am Shawna, Rooted Photography & Studio! Since thumbtack is a lead paid service, please do not send me a message if you are just price shopping. If you'd like to inquire about prices, visit my website*** 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.

I use a relaxed shooting style that captures the candid emotions and joy of my subjects. Whether you need your family's personality creatively captured, or an impeccable, professional headshot, I've got your needs covered. I have a special rapport with kids; they're always my favorite subjects.

I capture there passion, desire, hopes and dreams! I listen to the clients needs, wants and capture their vision for their photos!! I’m passionate about what I do, and love to create art.
