Hey there, my name is Shannan Koeller, owner, and the girl behind the lens of Twisted Willow Photography.


I am a Midwest portrait photographer with a boudoir studio located in downtown Dubuque, IA. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Art and Digital Design and have been specializing in boudoir portraiture for over 3 years. There is no place in the world I feel more like myself then when I have my camera in my hands. I'm always up for an adventure and love to travel; you'll often find me with rainbow hair, and I have a Bernese Mountain Dog that I adore, named Prince.


When is the last time you did something just for you? You are more than just a mom, and you do not have the wrong body type or style. I know it's not easy putting yourself first, I myself, have a hard time being kind to my body at times. Sometimes we just need a little reminder of how much of a badass goddess we are, and that's what I am here for. It is important to me that every client that walks through my studio leaves feeling proud, confident and seeing themselves in a new way. You don't have to worry about anything, I am here to help you every step of the way. I am committed to creating a unique, luxury boudoir experience from start to finish that will leave my clients feeling pampered and empowered.


It is one thing to see your images on a computer, but it is something entirely different to see, touch and flip through pages filled with gorgeous images of your beautiful self. I am a product based photographer, which means my packages include beautifully handcrafted designer albums, unique metal prints, and "For your eyes only" print boxes. The Twisted Willow experience is more than just putting on lingerie and taking some pretty pictures, it's an experience that will change your life and give you the confidence boost you deserve.
