It’s not just about the items I provide as your Arizona newborn photographer; it’s about the peace of mind that comes with them. When you enter my studio, you’ll find a warm and inviting space, equipped with comfortable seating, a changing area, and an assortment of snacks and beverages to keep you refreshed.

I’ll work with you to understand your vision and preferences, and provide gentle direction during the session to capture you and your baby in the most flattering and heartfelt way possible.

Remember, these are more than just photos; they’re cherished memories in the making, and I am here to make that happen with ease and grace.

let's talk about

prints + products

While my services do include digital-only collections, meaning no printed artwork from your session, I feel compelled to express my deep belief in the transformative power of seeing oneself as art.

There’s something profoundly special about encountering your image in print, whether it’s flipping through the pages of your album or marveling at your exquisite metal art prints. In print, your memories become tangible, tactile, and timeless, inviting you to immerse yourself fully in the beauty of each frame.

So while digital copies offer convenience and accessibility, there’s a described magic that comes with holding your memories in your hands and admiring them in physical form. It adds emotion, and significance to the images, making them not just pictures, but cherished treasures for generations to come.

When you step into our studio, it’s not just a visit—it’s an experience! While you wait for your session to complete, all of our products are available for you to see first hand. Seeing these products up close and personal isn’t just about admiring their beauty—it’s about envisioning your own memories brought to life in them.

meet the team:

I have an assistant that help throughout the sessions to help keep my baby clients as safe as possible. She will spot baby when I’m not in reach, help grab things that are needed for the setups, and help clean up all the messes that my little tiny humans create.

She’s incredibly special to me and I’m so honored to have her by my side throughout the session!

"We hired Shannon for our son's newborn shoot and family ops. Shannon's whole process is so professional, organized and she's very responsive. The quality and style of her photos captured me when I followed her on Instagram. It was such a good perk she has a client closet, because I honestly wasn't thinking about outfits for our family after baby. I literally gave her all creative freedom, I'm probably the laziest client. Lastly, during the session, she was so quick between setups, and loved seeing the outcome of the photos, I loved every singe one!."

frequently asked questions

What Do I Need to Bring?

Absolutely nothing. I provide everything needed for your studio session. I have all the props, wraps, and backdrops for your newborn session!

How long does the session take?

This varies on your package, and how the baby cooperates. A basic guideline for newborn sessions would be – 30 minutes for the precious package, an hour for the essence package, 90 minutes for the keepsake package, and two hours for the heirloom package. Again, this all depends on how baby tolerates everything, it may be longer, or it may be shorter.

When is the best time to schedule?

For newborns I recommend booking in your second trimester, I like to wait until you clear the first trimester, but I do book up quite fast so I definitely don’t recommend waiting until the last minute; I can’t guarantee I’ll have an opening.

What can I expect from a session?

Look, I know I share all the fun/cute stuff on social media – but you should know that’s not how the session always plays out! With newborns you can probably expect an accident or two, maybe more! There may be a period where baby wants nothing to do with sleeping, that’s okay! We’ll roll with it, and hopefully get some cute awake shots. It’s also totally normal to have to feed baby more often than you’re use to; believe it or not, they’re working hard, and burning a ton of calories.
