Introduction

**I offer 20% off photo services for LGBTQIA+ clients, inclusive of small organizations** Based in New York City, I have been helping people see themselves in newer and more authentic perspectives. I’ve been honored to work with many entrepreneurs, creatives, and a variety of couples. Seeing yourself in a space that may not be familiar nor accessible may be intimidating to some, but it’s a challenge that I’ve taken on with open arms. Using inspiration from both the beautiful big apple and twin islands I’ve grown up on, my aim is help you visualize your story with the most beautiful and brightest of colors.

Shante recently photographed our wedding shower on February 28th. She took very lovely family and friend group shots and a lot of candids. She took beautiful pictures of our dessert table and decor. She arrived on time, was very professional and friendly. Our family is still complementing us on finding such a friendly photographer that made them feel really comfortable. Shante met with my fiance and I before the shower and went through our vision and ideas for the shower photography. She was patient and helpful and reminded me of group shots I wanted the day of the shower, which I really appreciated because I had a million things going on and if it weren't for her I wouldn't have remembered the key group shots I had requested from her. I would highly recommend Shante!

My wife and I did our first photo shoot with Shante in the summer of 2015. I have to say that having my picture taken is not my favorite thing but Shante was able to make the experience very interactive and engaging. Mid way through our one hour session I actually found myself laughing and offering my own suggestions for what the next shot should be.. Our next shoot happens in a few days and ,truth be told, I can't wait to get started...

I absolutely loved working with Shante! She was a joy to work with - so encouraging and supportive and really made me feel empowered during our session. She was super professional and gave me great tips for posing and photo ideas. I loved the photos I got from our time together and use them in my branding and sales! Thank you, Shante!

Working with Shanté was such an incredible experience. From the get-go, she made me feel comfortable and confident and the photos show that! I felt like I was out taking photographs with my best friend and with her subtle direction of "how" I should feel or react in each photograph, allowed true, genuine emotions to shine through. I would highly recommend her to my whole network! She is truly amazing behind the camera.

I loved shooting with Shante! We did a couples photoshoot that was very budget friendly. She made us feel very comfortable since we never did a photoshoot and weren't sure how to pose. She guided us the whole time and took our ideas into consideration, which I loved. After the photoshoot, she promptly emailed us the contact sheet with all the photos for us to choose. Of course, I had to choose extras because of how amazing the shots were. She gave us extras for a small fee, which I was happy to pay. She answered all my questions through the process and I can say I'm very happy with the results. We love our photos and will be making Shante our go-to photographer! Thanks Shante!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do charge a 30% deposit to secure our date and timing for our photo session, the remaining deposit is paid 1-2 days before the portrait session/event.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before I work with a new client, I like to speak with them in person or remotely to discuss their expectations for photography. I do my best to maximize the overall experience behind the camera through playing their favorite songs, or using one of my curated playlists. I thrive in knowing that my clients highlight how comfortable they are while shooting, and I continue to bring that experience for both new and returning clients.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I spent time at the School of Visual Arts, FIT, and PhotoManhattan.
