CRAVE book launch party! -- Be There.

After an exciting fall of photographing an array of fabulous local women and their inspiring places, products, and services for the very cool CRAVE coffee-table book guide, the week to see the book is finally upon us!
Now it's time to CELEBRATE! Come tell us what YOU CRAVE! at a special CRAVE book launch party hosted by me (Feather Blue Studios) and my good friend Deirdre of Deirdre & Company (also featured in the book).

There will be delish treats, a CRAVE-related game (with a $50 gift card up for grabs), and a mini-boutique area if you're in the mood to start your Christams shopping or treat yourself to a little something special. (Not to mention that CRAVE books, complete with their own page of fab deals at boutiques and eateries across the Twin Cities, will be available at a very special price).


Working on this project with Kathy of Back Pocket Strategies, curator of the Mpls/StPaul CRAVE book, and being inspired and supported by the CRAVE community was very enriching.

Please join us! You are so very, very welcome to this celebration. Most of all, we look forward to chatting with many of you and finding out what's inspiring in your lives right now as well.

Shannon & Deirdre's CRAVE book launch party ~ Java Train Cafe ~ THIS FRIDAY, Nov 18th ~ 6-9pm open house style

Cheers!
Shannon :)

Model Photography & Comp Cards

A big part of what I love to do is help launch new models in the world of modeling in the Twin Cities. Through Model Integrity I give upfront advice on the risks & benefits of pursuing this industry and how to recognize scams vs legit agencies and opportunities.

While this industry is not for everyone (& does involve a lot of hard work!) I encourage models who want to go for it to give it their best shot and do it right! When individuals feel they are ready to invest in professional, industry-relevant commercial & fashion photography, I help them strategically plan the best way to utilize their look and branch out to help them represent a broad market.

Here's a few of the Comp Cards I've worked on lately, representing different ages, looks, & genders...
