Phoenix moms, are you looking for a new way to capture your pregnancy announcement? This blog is for you. Gone are the days of cheesy pregnancy announcements and over the top reveals. Today I’ll show you how we capture your pregnancy, announce your babies gender, and do it in a timeless way. My goal is for you to be able to display your images for generations. Without looking at them and having them feel dated (think big box portrait stores in the early 90s!) Your session will always have a beautiful mixture of colors, textures, and a whole lot of love.


What you wear for your pregnancy announcement can make or break your photos. Announcements typically take place pretty early on in pregnancy. I recommend a form fitting or two piece outfit to showcase your belly. Even though you are likely not showing much yet (depending on when you announce) this is the time to embrace your body.


This gorgeous two piece maternity outfit is available in my client closet for all of my clients to use. If you’re looking for more modest options, I absolutely love dresses from worth collective
Worth collective offers a multitude of form fitting dresses in a variety of colors. From neutrals, soft pinks, blues, and more. Their dresses are an amazing way to showcase your growing belly and announce your baby’s gender! The best part about worth collective dresses for your pregnancy announcement is the price point. Their dresses are beyond affordable. And functional! They are absolutely dresses that you can wear again and again.
We are always aiming towards subtle and timeless here at Shanyn Nicole Studios for your pregnancy announcement pictures. Our lifestyle room is perfect for that! This allows us to make small, but impactful, set additions. This mama wanted florals to share with the world that her new baby was a boy. Which I loved! Mom wanted a neutral, timeless set. And we absolutely nailed it. I love adding pink or blue flowers in a sea of neutral colors to really let them pop.

When we plan your gender announcement pictures we will discuss your vision. If your vision is grander than this – we can do that too. Simple not your vibe? You got it! We recommend these sessions are booked as soon as you know your babies gender.
