Hi, I’m Nakeshia Shannon a wife, mom of three beautifully chaotic kids, and a passionate creative living and working in Upstate South Carolina. My world revolves around connection whether that’s capturing life’s most meaningful moments through photography or helping brands tell their stories through powerful visuals and digital content.


I serve as a Social Media Strategist for PowerMoves, LLC, where strategy meets storytelling. I blend audience insight, creative direction, and digital marketing systems to help brands grow with intention not just visibility, but real connection and measurable impact. From campaign development to content ecosystems, I focus on building brand presence that feels human, aligned, and sustainable.


I’m also a Brand Storyteller with Kidding Around Greenville, where I spotlight local businesses, community leaders, events, and families that make the Upstate such a vibrant place to live. Through community-focused content and social storytelling, I help brands show up in ways that feel helpful, relatable, and memorable.


With over 13 years of experience in photography, social media marketing, and content creation, I bring both a creative eye and a strategic mindset to every project. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Media Communications, along with certifications in Adobe Creative Suite and Commercial and Portrait Photography. From crafting compelling copy to building SEO-friendly brand presence and producing visual content that converts, I know how to elevate stories across platforms.


At the heart of my work is a simple mission: to help people feel seen, celebrated, and connected—whether they’re growing a brand, supporting their community, or sharing their story with the world.

Let’s create something meaningful together.
