Time virtually vanished in a moment during M’s shoot. We went beyond the walls of the studio…I had her standing on window sills in a long dress and balancing on carts. There was nothing this human was afraid of. And the more I asked, the more excited she got!
“I think the experience was really powerful and meaningful.”
“The session way exceeded expectations. Shawnalee's process from thought starters and a mood board to plan for your shoot, her ability to coach gently and put you at ease in front of the camera but also let you play around with your own ideas for shots is really great, there's plenty of room for your own aesthetic and artistic ideation within her vision. Afterwards, I was energized and felt like I had really done something important for my self. I couldn't wait to see my photos!
“Just seeing myself as others maybe see me, or some idealized but very real version of me captured right here, right now in this moment means the world.”
I'd recommend a portrait shoot with Shawnalee. She truly knows how to capture a person and bring out the qualities you want to evince. Strength, presence, beauty, ferocity, laughter. What you want to bring in the moment, she can capture exquisitely.”” ~M
This human killed her session. In the best way ever. She was playful and brave.
Of course when you read her interview (click HERE for Melissa’s published 40/40 Q&A as well as others) you will understand why. She has incredible life experiences that , without a doubt, shaped her into who she is today.
There is no question that her personality shines through the shots we got that day. Here she is, full of undying energy, bravery, determination and incredibly playful.
