Introduction
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*** rooted-photgraphy (dot) com 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.

Absolutely the best photographer I have EVER worked with. I’ve been disappointed many times with my photos , and she was super flexible with allowing me to show her different shots I wanted her to take and allowing me to fix my sisters dress lol!! I am so happy she allowed me to pick out my favorites as this photoshoot was for an important event. Not to mention the quality of the photos unedited are ASTOUNDING. I will be recommending her to all my family and friends. Book with her if you’re looking for bday shots, quinceañera shots, or even self portraits , I’m truly so happy with the photos , my sister looks beautiful in them. I can’t wait for the final results to use for the event😊🫶!!!

Details: Solo portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

I had the most incredible experience with Rooted Photography! From the moment I connected with Shawna, the talented photographer behind the lens, I knew I was in good hands. The boudoir photo shoot she captured for me was not only fun but also very tastefully done. I was able to incorporate all my preferences and ideas, even some special items, to make the photos truly unique and specific to my style. The surprise album with the photos I gave to my husband for our anniversary was beyond amazing, and he absolutely loved it (and I often catch him now looking at his “special picture book” which he calls it!) Shawna’s attention to detail and creative eye truly shone through in every shot. The final photos were nothing short of stunning, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a skilled and professional photographer who goes above and beyond to make your vision a reality, look no further than Rooted Photography. I highly recommend Shawna and Rooted Photography for any photography needs - you won’t be disappointed!

Shawna did an amazing job on my boudoir photoshoot! It was fun, natural, and easy to follow her direction. She is a true pro and knows the studio and best poses to do. She is very responsive and even delivered my photos early so I could quickly make a book for my wedding!

Shawna is amazing! We were married at the Columbia River gorge and were not sure about the best photo spots at the waterfall we chose. She was early and was able to find the best photo opportunities possible. I appreciated how easy she was to talk to and she was calm throughout our photo shoot and offered great ideas. Our elopement was a short ceremony with a 30 minute photo shoot and everything went so smoothly. We appreciate her commitment and I'm so grateful she was able to capture our special day!
