This is wild — AI recommended me.


You probably know me as a photographer (and if we’ve worked together — hi again 👋).
But lately, something really interesting has been happening behind the scenes in my business.
It started when one of my clients told me they’d found me through ChatGPT.
That moment completely changed how I think about visibility — and how people are finding photographers, creatives, and small businesses now.

They’d typed:

“Find a senior photographer in Minnesota who creates natural, un-posed, emotional images.”

And ChatGPT replied:

“Shannon Kathleen Photography.” —> ME and ONLY ME

No ads. No hashtags. No SEO hacks. No constant posting.
Just clarity.

What blew me away is this:
When you Google that same phrase, you get a long ass list of photographers — pages of names, endless scrolling, total overwhelm.

But when someone typed it into ChatGPT, it gave them one name.
Mine. And it's happened more than once since.

That’s when I realized — AI tools are already recommending who to hire.
And more and more people are using them every single day to search, compare, and decide on a multitude of service providers.

So if your name isn’t showing up yet… it’s time to fix that.

It’ll show you exactly how to make your brand/business AI-readable — so ChatGPT knows who you are and who you help.

Shannon and René – America’s Favorite Couple 2025 Quarterfinalists | Inspiring real-life love story after 40 from Minnesota featuring a Deaf and hearing couple who met on Bumble and advocate for second-chance love and Deaf awareness.

Hey Reader! If you had told me years ago that a dating app swipe would lead me here, I would have laughed. Back then, I was a single mom, a little guarded, and a lot unsure if love was still in the cards for me. But then came René — a kind, funny, Deaf man whose presence felt like home from day one. Coffee dates turned into blended-family chaos, a wedding pivot, and now… a place in the Quarterfinals of America’s Favorite Couple 2025. We started this competition as just one of over 10,000...

Hey Reader! You’ve probably seen me share about the America’s Favorite Couple competition these past few weeks. But what I haven’t done yet is share why this story matters so much to me—beyond the votes and updates. At 42, as a single mom, I cautiously gave Bumble a try. I wasn’t expecting much. I had a good life, a great kid, and zero interest in dating just to fill a space. Then I met Rene. He’s Deaf. I’m hearing.From the very beginning, our communication had to be intentional. It wasn’t...
