You've grown. Your image should say so.
The work took years of your focus. Somewhere in it, the way you show up online fell a step behind. That is the gap I close.
Three ways to close the gap.
One starts where you are right now.
Every experience is by consultation. Investment discussed on the call, after we understand what you need.

You have done the work. Built the business. Raised the family. Made the impact. But somewhere along the way, you became invisible in your own story.
Whether you are pivoting into your next chapter, celebrating a milestone, or finally stepping into the visibility your career has earned — this is where that changes.
Your grandchildren will see these. Your clients will remember you through them.

The Process
"I booked Shané for 1:1 brand coaching and a photo session. She helped me define myself in my own words and coached me through my business. I didn't have to feel alone in the process. She is a true talent with her coaching and photography."
~ Shané K. Gooding, Image Architect
It never occurred to me that she would not always be there. After her passing, I was left with a profound longing for more portraits of the woman who shaped my world. Today, as a mother myself, it's even more meaningful. This loss taught me the priceless value of the memories we curate.
With an MFA in Photography and nearly a decade teaching film production at Howard University, plus work on productions for CBS, Miramax, and DreamWorks, I bring cinematic storytelling to your personal brand, your milestones, and your legacy.
Rarely in front of it.
My mother was always behind the camera.

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.
"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!"
Sessions Primarily on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. 50% retainer to hold your date.
15 minutes. One honest conversation about where you are and what your images should be doing for you. No sales pitch.
The version of you that exists right now has earned her visibility.
