Motherhood is my favorite journey. If you're here, you're getting ready to embark on that journey too. Whether this is your first or 5th, you're in the right place. As a mother myself, I know how quickly your pregnancy goes. From modern, editorial vibes to lavish studio setups, every frame is meticulously crafted to reflect the unique glow and grace of your pregnancy.
Your experience is my top priority. Included with every petite and deluxe maternity session is access to my full client closet. This includes beautiful maternity gowns, body suits, luxury chiffon fabrics, suits, and our exclusive angel wings; allowing you to find the perfect look.
My goal as your professional maternity photographer is to provide a personalized touch to your maternity session. Attention to detail is important to making sure your unique vision and preferences shine through in every image.

Ashley chose our bundle maternity package, which includes hair & makeup for her session in my phoenix maternity studio. I love mamas getting to come in, relax, and be pampered! Her outfit selection was so beautiful, with a little bit of everything. In addition to a beautiful studio session. Ashley opted to head to Lost Dutchman for a second maternity session at sunset! I love being able to give you the best of both worlds.

Sierra envisioned a classic, timeless, editorial vibe for her studio maternity session. With our classic black suit, lux chiffon silk, and extravagant tulle gown. This editorial maternity photoshoot was one for the books. Sierra had her hair and makeup done in studio for her maternity session - which always leaves mamas feeling SO good! You can add hair and makeup onto your deluxe maternity package.

Celebrate the beauty of motherhood with a meticulously designed maternity session in my 2,200 sqft professional maternity studio in Mesa, Arizona. As a leading Arizona maternity photographer, I specialize in creating timeless, elegant portraits that highlight your strength and grace through expertly crafted lighting and artistic direction.
Your experience begins with a personal consultation, where we’ll discuss your vision, styling preferences, and desired aesthetic to ensure your session is tailored to you. Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 27 and 33 weeks, allowing us to capture the perfect balance of comfort and a beautifully defined baby bump.
On the day of your session, you’ll enjoy a fully guided photoshoot in a luxurious, private studio setting. With expert posing direction and masterfully controlled lighting, every image is carefully composed to accentuate your natural beauty, creating stunning, high-end portraits.
After your session, you’ll view your images with a personalized image reveal, where you’ll select your favorite portraits. You'll have the option to add additional digital images, fine art prints, and heirloom-quality products. Each image is professionally retouched to perfection and delivered with the highest attention to detail.

Many families choose to capture both their maternity and newborn milestones together, and we make it easy by offering a bundled package. When you reserve both sessions at the same time, you’ll not only ensure availability during these important seasons—you’ll also enjoy special savings. It’s the perfect way to document your journey from bump to baby in a cohesive, timeless way.
When you’re ready to get started with your maternity session, the first step is to reach out.
1. Say Hello
Most families choose to reserve their maternity and newborn bundle at the same time, ensuring everything is planned and stress-free. For maternity, I recommend scheduling during your second trimester—ideally between 28–33 weeks if you’re expecting one baby, and even sooner if you’re expecting multiples.
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled for the first 7–21 days after birth. By booking both sessions together, we’ll secure your dates in advance and guarantee availability during these precious milestones. While we often book 2–4 months ahead, I occasionally have last-minute openings—so never hesitate to reach out and check!
2. Schedule it
Many families love the ease of bundling their maternity and newborn sessions together. Not only does this secure both milestones in advance, but it also allows you to enjoy special savings. Choose the package that best fits your vision:
Petite Maternity + Petite Newborn – $950 (Save $50)
A beautiful way to capture both stages with shorter sessions designed for simplicity and timeless keepsakes.
Premier Maternity + Platinum Newborn – $1,325 (Save $75)
Perfect for families who want more variety and detail, with extended coverage and added images to fully document these moments.
Premier Maternity + Premier Newborn – $1,500 (Save $100)
Our most popular choice for parents who want the full experience—ample time, flexibility, and a larger gallery of images that tell your story from bump to baby.

The day of your maternity or newborn session has finally arrived, and we’ll make sure it’s a calm and enjoyable experience. When you arrive at the studio, we’ll review your wardrobe selections one last time and ensure everything fits beautifully. From there, I’ll guide you through each pose and moment so you can relax and enjoy the process.
After your session, you’ll have the option to view your images right away in the studio, or—if you prefer the comfort of your own home—we can set up a convenient online viewing. Either way, you’ll be able to relive the experience and select your favorite images while the memories are still fresh.

1. Say Hello
Most expectant mothers schedule their maternity session early in their 2nd trimester. If you're having 1 baby, I recommend scheduling when you're 28-33 weeks along. If you're having multiples, I recommend scheduling your session sooner. While we typically book up 2-4 months in advance, we sometimes have last minute openings. Never hesitate to reach out and ask!
2. Schedule it
After we schedule your session we will start planning your dream maternity session. We will go over outfits, locations if you're shooting outside, backdrops for in studio, and your vision. If you're shooting in studio we will go over optional add ons, such as hair & makeup as well as fantasy sets. Before your session you'll be sent guides to go over how to prepare best, including what to bring (and what not to bring).

Shanyn was absolutely amazing from the moment I inquired about her services to booking my maternity and newborn shoot with her. What I loved was she paid extra close attention to small details to ensure the photos were just right. She was fabulous with my newborn daughter and trusted her to take full control of the shoot. All of my photos came out beautiful!!! I highly recommend her services and her prices are very reasonable. As long as we live in Arizona we will be using her services for any and all future photos! Thank you Shanyn for everything! :)
newborn session
I cannot recommend Shanyn enough! Need a feel good shoot? Boudoir? Family? Maternity? Cake smash? She’s done it all for my family and every time I come out shocked at the result. Our last family session was about 20 minutes because my kids wouldn’t stop crying, it was chaos, no one was participating and I even cried because I was so frustrated. But then Shanyn delivered a full album of photos that I couldn’t even believe how she was able to make us look that put together. She is our forever photographer!
Family Session
Amazing experience with Shanyn! This was our 3rd photoshoot with her! Breastfeeding milestone, 1st birthday cake smash & today personality portraits! She was patient with our wild 3 year old. Photos turned out amazing and a VERY quick turn around. We already got our final photos! Look forward to using her for other photos in the future!
