my tru heart

Peace, I am Shawny!

Im a lover of humanity. A wife and mother, community builder, mentor, Hip Hop Head, and now unexpected Entrepreneur.

My life work has been loving , empowering, and being a voice for those unseen and unheard and underserved, so photography has been an amazing fit. I love capturing the TRU heart and essence of whatever and whoever is in front of my lens. It's an honor to be a trusted safe space for thousands for over 20 years. I understand the VALUE of peoples life stories and value sacred moments and take joy in capturing their hard work/passions.

I am also an Artist, a Creative- I am a Bgirl (commonly known as a Breaker, or Break Dancer) so I understand hold with deep, personal experience the power of movement, performance and culture.

I naturally see what is powerful, what is beautiful, what is moving and what is TRU, and that is what I capture with my camera.

I look forward to knowing you, celebrating you - and helping to capture and elevate your story, your business, your event and your family.
