I’ve been honored to work with many entrepreneurs, creatives, and a variety of couples.

Using inspiration from both the beautiful big apple and twin islands I’ve grown up on, my aim is help you visualize your story with the most beautiful and brightest of colors.

Shante recently photographed our wedding shower on February 28th. She took very lovely family and friend group shots and a lot of candids. She took beautiful pictures of our dessert table and decor. She arrived on time, was very professional and friendly. Our family is still complementing us on finding such a friendly photographer that made them feel really comfortable. Shante met with my fiance and I before the shower and went through our vision and ideas for the shower photography. She was patient and helpful and reminded me of group shots I wanted the day of the shower, which I really appreciated because I had a million things going on and if it weren't for her I wouldn't have remembered the key group shots I had requested from her. I would highly recommend Shante!

My wife and I did our first photo shoot with Shante in the summer of 2015. I have to say that having my picture taken is not my favorite thing but Shante was able to make the experience very interactive and engaging. Mid way through our one hour session I actually found myself laughing and offering my own suggestions for what the next shot should be.. Our next shoot happens in a few days and ,truth be told, I can't wait to get started...

I absolutely loved working with Shante! She was a joy to work with - so encouraging and supportive and really made me feel empowered during our session. She was super professional and gave me great tips for posing and photo ideas. I loved the photos I got from our time together and use them in my branding and sales! Thank you, Shante!

Working with Shanté was such an incredible experience. From the get-go, she made me feel comfortable and confident and the photos show that! I felt like I was out taking photographs with my best friend and with her subtle direction of "how" I should feel or react in each photograph, allowed true, genuine emotions to shine through. I would highly recommend her to my whole network! She is truly amazing behind the camera.

Shante was the photographer at my sisters sweet 16 party. She arrived promptly on time and was professional throughout the experience. She worked with my mother and sister on the types of pictures and angles they would like and gave her professional input combining both to have stunning photos. The photos in the party makes you feel as if you were there at the moment. They are filled with life. She is patient, professional and is a good spirit to be around. No matter the age group, young or old, she vibes well and took great shots. She comes highly recommended and will be used again. Thanks Shante!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do charge a 30% deposit to secure our date and timing for our photo session, the remaining deposit is paid 1-2 days before the portrait session/event.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before I work with a new client, I like to speak with them in person or remotely to discuss their expectations for photography. I do my best to maximize the overall experience behind the camera through playing their favorite songs, or using one of my curated playlists. I thrive in knowing that my clients highlight how comfortable they are while shooting, and I continue to bring that experience for both new and returning clients.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I spent time at the School of Visual Arts, FIT, and PhotoManhattan.
