"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!"
Captivating, memorable, vivid imagery.
It's more than just an image.

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.
My work is fueled by this sense of urgency: to help people honor who they are now, preserve their unique story for the present and for future generations, and feel empowered through the power of a portrait.
Your unique personal journey deserves to be celebrated with a powerful statement that will last your lifetime and the generations to follow.
Own your moment! Treat yourself to a Birthday Boost Photography Portrait Session, a powerful and joyful experience dedicated to celebrating you. Just imagine stepping into the spotlight and capturing your unique radiance in stunning photographs that serve as a lasting reminder of your strength and beauty.
This isn't just a photoshoot; it's an empowering act of self-love, a chance to finally prioritize yourself and mark this special milestone with confidence.
This new special session has limited session slots per month. Schedule your quick consultation to select your date.

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!

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. ❤️❤️❤️."
