About
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.

Shawna - there are no words to describe your work. I haven’t even seen my pictures yet, but when I met Shawna, it was like I knew her for years! She takes such delicate time to get to know you and your partner, what had you fall in love, special moments you want captured, and more. Not only does she use her digital camera, she does film too! And not only that, we have Polaroids we got to take home immediately. The combination of immediate gratification, surprise, and anticipation is a wonderful touch to her work. Not to mention, our photographer quit a week prior from the company we were using and Shawna made it happen in a week!!! I truly believe everything happens for a reason, because there wouldn’t have been a better match for us. ❤️

Shawna was awesome! My husband and I were having to Portland and wanted updated photos. We loved working with Shawna. On time, professional! Our preliminary photos look amazing, still waiting final pictures but I have not doubt they will be beautiful!

It was really an honor working Shawna. Shawna’s level of patience, professionalism, and personal skills are outstanding. She was not only punctual but well equipped and very passionate about her craft. Despite the 97 degree weather, Shawna was quick on her feet, gave great directions, was patient, and very professional. I can’t Thank you enough for such an amazing experience. Graduations can be chaotic and overwhelming but I had the best time. I really don’t see working with anyone else but Shawna in the future. 💯 recommend.

My wedding was July 20 so we haven’t seen the finished album but her promptness, desire to please us and capture special moments was unparalleled. We are an older couple and this was more of a family event than anything else, with grandchildren etc and she adapted to our requests and somewhat untraditional wedding. We’d hire her again in a second!
