For the woman who has earned her next chapter.
Your images and your story have not kept pace with your trajectory. The world is reading you at the wrong resolution. That gap is not a photography problem. It is a perception problem. And perception problems have different solutions. That is what we close.
You've outgrown how the world currently sees you.

There is a tax on accomplishment that nobody tells you about.
It shows up in the rooms you are not invited into. The rates you are not offered. The authority you cannot seem to transfer online. It has nothing to do with your credentials.
The women I work with are not doing bad work. They are just being seen at the wrong resolution. That gap is fixable.
THe Perception gap
"The gap between who she was and how the world was reading her. That gap has a name. I have spent the last several years learning how to close it."
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.

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!"
