Tell Your Story

Tell your story.

"Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light."  ~ BrenĂ© Brown

Finally telling my story has been one of the most freeing things I have done.  Owning it has given me a great sense of taking back control over my life.  I want others to have that chance too.


How It Works:

You will be photographed, free of charge, by me, in my Peru, IL studio.
Your photographic session can be styled to protect your identity, if you do not feel safe or ready to be identified.  You may also choose to tell your story using a pseudonym.
You may choose to write your story yourself, or I can write it from your words.

Please contact Shanna by email hello@photographybyshanna.com to find out more about telling your story.
