HI. I’M SHANNON, A PROFESSIONAL ARIZONA NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER.

I’ve been an Arizona newborn photographer for over ten years now, and have completed over 1,100 newborn sessions. This journey has truly been a dream come true – and there is nothing I would rather do. Whether you’re graciously rubbing your growing belly, or already holding a bouncing bundle of joy, I would love to work with you and see how I can exceed your needs.

The Moments We Remember for a Lifetime

who am I?

I’ve been an Arizona newborn photographer for over ten years now, and it never gets old. This journey has truly been a dream come true – and there is nothing I would rather do. Whether you’re graciously rubbing your growing belly, or already holding a bouncing bundle of joy, I would love to work with you and see how I can exceed your needs.

Even though being an Arizona newborn photographer is a huge passion of mine, my family always comes first. I have an amazing husband who has been a huge support throughout my photography career. We’ve been together for almost ten years and we have three *insert endearing adjective* kids together – Brady (18), Ryder (13), Skylynn (11), and Grayson (8). We’re busy. They’re obnoxious. And we love them more than life.

For my fellow photographers wondering; I shoot with a Canon R6, I have two of them. For lenses I use a 35 1.4L, 50 1.2L, and 100 2.8L. Studio lighting I use a Good AD400 and 86″ PLM. I’m not much of a natural light kind of person unless it’s for an outdoor session, or fresh 48.

Fun Facts about Me

1. When I first started my business I couldn’t afford all the cute props, so I taught myself to knit and sew all my own baby props. I even had a prop shop to sell to other photographers.

2. I met my husband when I was 18, we got engaged six months later. Here we are 13 years later, with four kids.

3. I graduated high school at 16, and went to college to become a labor and delivery nurse.. then dropped out to be a photographer; (I still graduated with my associated degree though).
