Freelance Commercial Photographer and Co-Founder of Amy Rose Productions and Amy Rose Photography + Motion.

I’m Melissa Amy Shanahan, co-founder of Amy Rose Productions | Photography & Motion.

After 14 years in the corporate world, I trusted an instinct that creativity was calling me somewhere bigger. I went back to school for photography while working full-time, and that leap became the foundation of a career built on vision, discipline, and intention.

Today, I specialize in interior, catalog, and lifestyle imagery for national retail home furnishing brands and designers. My work is rooted in clean composition, tonal accuracy, and brand alignment, imagery designed not just to look beautiful, but to perform across web, catalog, and campaign.

On set, I bring a calm, focused presence shaped by years of experience in corporate structures and production. I thrive in collaborative environments, anticipate needs before they surface, and move fluidly between creative direction and operational precision to keep productions efficient and elevated.
