"What an amazing experience. Imiivo Photography is the quintessential professional and also super down to earth. I felt so confident, comfortable, and at times powerful and others quite demure. The looks, the poses, the music, the vibrations, everything was on a 10. I walked out feeling like I just left my Essence cover session! Can’t wait to go back!"

Whether it’s for your 35th, 65th Birthday or beyond...
Your story is beyond ordinary.
What's the best way to best way to celebrate your birthday?
Is this You?
You want a meaningful experience, not just a quick photo session. You're not just looking for a snapshot; you want a transformative experience that honors your personal story. You're looking for a session that leaves you feeling seen, empowered, and truly celebrated.
You want a tangible way to remember your birthday, not just photos on a phone or social media. You want to create a legacy for future generations. You understand that these photos aren't just for you—they are for your children, grandchildren, and beyond. You want to preserve this moment in time and provide a beautiful, tangible way for your family to remember you.
You want to feel confident and beautiful, but you don't know where to start. The idea of a photoshoot can feel intimidating. You're worried about what to wear, how to pose, or if you'll even look good. You want a photographer who can make you feel comfortable and guide you through the process, so you can truly see yourself in a new light.
As an entrepreneur, your visuals don't align with your brand. Many professionals struggle with looking cohesive and credible online, and you offer a solution by helping them develop their brand personality and elevate their brand presence.
You need a photographer who understands your business and brand messaging. Your background in film, television, and as an educator gives you a unique edge in aligning visuals with a professional's message.
You want to have tangible, printed memories, not just digital files. You want something tangible and lasting, like printed heirlooms or beautiful framed artwork, that you can hold and cherish for years to come.
We help you every step of the way.
~ Shané K. Gooding
It never occurred to me that she wouldn't always be there. In fact, I took for granted that she would be, in denial of the natural cycle of life.
After she passed away, I was left wishing I had more portraits of the woman who shaped me. This experience taught me the priceless value of each memory we create and the significance of honoring each moment we have.
Now, as a proud mother to a talkative little boy, I'm constantly asking questions about my mother’s journey and thinking about the legacy and generational heirlooms I want to leave for him.
The story behind why I photograph begins with my mother, my Superwoman, who was always behind the camera but rarely in front.

Shané was very kind, fun and patient during my shoot. From our first meeting to producing the final product Shane was on it. I am very pleased with her work. I highly recommend Imiivo!
Love, love, love Shané and her company. We have booked several shoots with this company! Very professional, timely, and amazing photography work. We love the atmosphere and the protection we felt doing the shoot during COVID.
I had a fantastic experience with Shané, she has a wonderful personality and made me feel comfortable during our photo session. The photos are amazing, I cannot wait to publish my website with them on it. Thanks Shané!
Feel celebrated through the power of a portrait.

My photoshoot with Imiivo Photo Studios surpassed my expectations. I am still in awe of the photos taken during my photoshoot. I find myself going back to the photos and wondering who is the woman in the pictures?
Then I remind myself that the woman in the pictures is me!
Shané was so professional and patient. Her pre-photoshoot welcome package and wardrobe consultation helped me to prepare and made me feel good about doing something for myself.
The final product simply wowed me and reinforced that there are "camera phone" pictures and then there are "professional" pictures. The finished product of the professional pictures was absolutely worth it, and I had fun during the session.
Shané has a way of coaching you through and making you feel at ease. I look forward to booking future sessions.
Shané is top tier in every way. Her eye behind the camera is a gifting and she pairs it so well with knack for details in her work. Whether for business or personal use you can't go wrong with choosing Imiivo. The photos are truly timeless you (or your brand) would be grateful.
Shoots with Shané are always professional and she goes far and beyond to make people comfortable in front of the lense.
"I'm SO SO appreciative of this experience!! You made my mom and me soooo comfortable. You really captured our energy in the photos. Your kind words and attention to detail mean so much. ❤️❤️❤️."
Our studio is located in the Washington, DC metro area. Right in between Silver Spring and Baltimore.
