Hi all, I’m Shante’, & welcome to my unconventional journey.

This is my first time doing life and I am just trying to figure it out. Making photos helps me to make sense of the world around me and connect with people, places, and things.

I am compelled by human behavior, and what drives people to behave the way that they do. I learn by observing others and listening to their thought processes. We are all so unique and interesting.

My ultimate goal is that people feel seen, heard and appreciated for just being themselves, in a world that constantly attempts to tear us down and divide us, for simply just being our unique selves.

My current favorite scripture is Psalms 49:5 — “God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.”

I hope you stay for awhile and check out my prints on haynesco.studio/store

I will also be offering portrait & family sessions soon too, please stay tuned.
