Now is the most important time to celebrate YOU!
Moms struggle now more than ever before to keep it all together. We’re supposed to have careers, be pregnant, have babies, take care of the home, grocery shop, make meals, shave our legs. It’s no wonder that 1 in 5 new moms battle with depression. We are trying to do it all, and somewhere in the mix, we feel lost. There are too many amazing mamas to be ignored, too amazing not to be listened to, and too beautiful not to be celebrated. It’s time to start CELEBRATING your motherhood journey! I would love for you to join me on this adventure of empowering you in this first year with your baby. Let’s inspire other moms with your story, but most importantly, let’s inspire you.
In 2020, I’ll be creating stunning portraits of 50 pregnant women or women with babies in the first year (newborn to 1 year), culminating in an exhibition and celebration with these moms and their stories.
A PHOTOSHOOT EXPERIENCE CULMINATING IN A GALLERY-STYLE EXHIBITION
AND CELEBRATION OF WOMEN AND THEIR STORIES OF MOTHERHOOD
Through the Motherhood EXPERIENCE, we can…
• Show that beauty doesn’t diminish with pregnancy or the postpartum stage; it actually gets better!
• Highlight your first year as a mom with your growing baby.
• Tell your story about what it means to be a mom in this busy world today.
• Celebrate your beauty and appreciate every moment along this mom journey; this is your first year too, mama!
Whether you feel invisible in your motherhood journey, empowered, or somewhere in between, know that You Are Loved & Needed & Your Story is Important! We intend to disrupt & transform the way we are viewed (or forgotten) by society by putting out beautiful, authentic images and real motherhood stories of ourselves.
This is your chance to be seen and heard!
WHY MOMS, WHY ME & WHY NOW?
I started my motherhood and maternity photography business after I became a mom, and I wanted to create something very special as a gift for all mamas to enjoy. Not only to have stunning images of themselves, but I want you to feel celebrated and loved during a time where many of us women can feel the least beautiful. Often during a time where we feel the most forgotten.
It will be special, fulfilling, and transformational. Your motherhood story is uniquely beautiful, and I want to show you how amazing you are during pregnancy, empower you during the postpartum season, and throw a celebration for you and your baby’s first year! I want to celebrate you with your baby! Join me on an incredible adventure.
WHO CAN TAKE PART IN THE EXPERIENCE?
I would love to photograph a wide variety of women with their babies. Let’s create a tapestry of stunning images of women of different shapes and sizes; women with different tastes, from different backgrounds and with different views of life. Pregnant women, women with newborns, powerful breastfeeding images, or a first year celebration shoot for you and baby!
The Shawna Shenette Photography experience is an exciting, pampering, indulgent adventure, custom tailored and focused on YOU and the journey of your baby’s first year.
Think about how you want to be captured, what does your mama journey look like? Our passion is to take the every-day new mom and give her an unforgettable celebrity-style, magazine photoshoot experience with her baby.
It’s about so much more than just “taking pretty pictures.” Our hope is for you to truly reconnect with yourself, see your beauty & spirit the way others already see you, and empower yourself in this new season as mom.
