ReaL LIFE: lifestyle Portraits

It’s time to banish awkward photos. Say goodbye to overly stylized, hyper photoshopped editing. Instead, let’s embrace real life - and all the beautiful diversity, laugh lines, and candid moments that come with it. Lifestyle photos are my specialty. What does that mean? To me, lifestyle are natural and nontraditional images that help convey a story.

CAPTURING FAMILY MEMORIES

Photoshoots are an invaluable way to preserve treasured moments. From bridal showers and maternity shoots, to family gatherings and senior photos, high-quality photos make the best keepsakes. Time flies by so quickly as families’ grow and evolve, so let’s make sure you can look back on important moment.


CELEBRATING INDIVIDUAL BEAUTY

Beyond the typical “special occasion”, why not set up time to celebrate yourself? These days, a go-to solo photo is often a necessity – whether you start a new job and need a headshot, create an online dating account and want to showcase your personality, or just want a new social media profile photo! From professional to personal settings, portraits should always make you feel good and remind you of how beautiful you are. 


EMBRACE THE AUTHENTICITY OF YOUR BRAND

Images are the easiest - and proven best - way to engage any online audience. Images tell a story, convey your brand's personality, and help you stand out from the crowd. Custom photos share a much stronger and genuine message than any stock photo ever could. I would love to help bring your brand's vision to life through photographs and help businesses of all sizes build a strong visual presence


CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:

"Shadi is the best! We loved working with Shadi for our family photo shoot. We have two excitable and silly little boys ages 1 and 4. To be honest, I was a little worried that they would not sit for a picture - but Shadi was able to work with their crazy energy and capture the real "US" as a family - tickle fights, sibling wrestling and all. She was also able to capture the quiet moments where the kids were playing on their own. The photos are stunning and we will treasure them forever!" - Jennifer

"Shadi Garman took my senior pictures, and I don't know if I've ever had a more fun and empowered hour. She's lovely, kind, and funny and makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful. Not only are my photos amazing, but getting to know Shadi was just as incredible." - Lila

"Shadi’s photography is stunning!  And what I appreciate perhaps even more is the care with which she handled the photo shoot from start to finish with my 17-year old daughter for her senior year.  She immediately built rapport with us, was easy going and fun, inventive with the subject and the background, had great instincts and was collaborative in her approach." - Alison

"Shadi is amazing. In the short time we worked together, Shadi was able to capture some images of my work that I was able to use on social media and beyond - helping me to tell a story about my creative process and work in just a few frames." - Jen
