Bold · Minimalist · Storytelling
The truth is often people, especially a lot of high level leaders, executives and creative visionaries, become so busy in all the busyness of life that they get lost.
We help you with Branding & Portrait Photography in a different way.
So busy that their mission gets lost.
That their team gets lost.
That their audience gets lost.
We got you covered…in business and in life.

Leave feeling ok to be the Superhero.
Or to be vulnerable enough to put the cape down for a moment.
Wherever you are is where we meet you.
Time to reconnect with...
yourself,
your team,
or your audience.
Make your vision board come true.
Take a break.
I have gotten knocked off of my rear, and it was when I was completely pushed out of my comfort zone professionally, and personally that I began a new journey to reconnect with myself.
I say it to you because I know what it feels like to get lost in the busyness.
The busyness of life has you overloaded with all that’s on your plate and with limited time.
Let's make this simple...
We are thoughtful about your journey and take the time to learn about you and understand your needs so that you can focus on your life and your business.
When collaborating with us, you’re not a transaction.
The focus is you.
No props, no distracting backgrounds, no back and forth, no confusion.
Why Do I Snap...
Hi, I'm Shané.
A grown adult addicted to gummy bears (they're a problem).
Learn About my why
I am a self described heart-centered, laidback perfectionist…in recovery, with a sweet tooth for homemade baked goods and gummy bears (don’t judge me) who will learn about you, guide you, even dance with you and be your biggest cheerleader during every step of the process.
Let me give you a little backstory about what fuels me to do what I do.

Surprise Portrait Experience
After all the planning and hours put into your company’s special event was the response just “meh”?

FAQ'S
What makes the inspired Surprise Portrait Experience different from your other portrait sessions?
This portrait session is more about helping you reconnect with yourself, honoring your journey and feeling empowered. It’s not just about crafting a stunning photograph; it’s about the person in front of our lens and amplifying your unique story.
Think of a surprise home-decor makeover but with portraits inspired by you with our inspired Surprise Portrait Experience. It’s like a portrait conversation, portrait therapy, and a surprise, all wrapped in one. The inspiration is you and the large framed portrait revealed is a complete surprise to you.
You constantly are making choices.
Relinquish control for a minute and be surprised for once.
What if I’m nervous and camera shy?
It’s normal to feel a bit nervous to be in front of the camera. You do not have to perform for our camera. Our job is to learn about you, guide you, even dance with you and be your biggest cheerleader during every step of the process. We’ll guide you before your portrait session and during your session from wardrobe to posing, making sure you’re comfortable and ideally, enjoying yourself. Remove the pressure, we got you covered.
Where will the photo session take place?
Our photo sessions take place at our studio in Savage Mill, MD. For business branding sessions and Executive Team headshots, we can come to you. Also, for our Generational Portrait sessions we either go to your family home or photograph you at the studio.
Should I wait till I lose 10 lbs before booking my photo session?
We can be overly critical of ourselves. If you wait one more day will you look up a year later and still ask the same thing? We are all about celebrating where you are right now. Our portrait sessions will leave you feeling empowered and more confident than when you walked in the door.
Will I need hair and makeup?
We want you to feel like you most importantly and depending on your type of session, makeup might be recommended. We provide recommendations and for an additional fee, we provide you with a professional makeup artist at our studio, your home or business.
What can I expect at an Imiivo portrait session?
Some call it portrait therapy because our clients leave feeling ok to be the Superhero or vulnerable enough to put the cape down for a moment. Wherever you are is where we meet you.
We offer a unique, high touch portrait experience while creating a new memory for you, your brand or your family. Most sessions include a style planning call, wardrobe consultation, a variety of looks for your portrait session and more. Everything from wardrobe to color palette to who you want to include, you have a hand in crafting your portraits. And when you arrive on set, you get to be the star of your own session.
Will this cost a lot?
We invest in decorating our homes, we invest in our cars, time to invest in you. We have entry points on our image collections and occasionally offer limited portrait series sessions (join our list to be the first to know). Let’s chat about your budget and we can send you our brochure that includes pricing and features when you’re ready!
Do you photograph events?
We do not photograph events but we do provide custom large prints for special events.
