As I stepped into motherhood, everything shifted—including the way I saw photography. I realized I wasn’t interested in creating images that looked like everyone else’s. Because your story isn’t like anyone else’s. It’s raw, powerful, tender, and completely your own—and it deserves to be told with intention and artistry.
When you step into my studio, you’ll feel seen. You’ll feel celebrated in your strength, your softness, and all the beautiful in-between moments. From styling your wardrobe to gently guiding your posing, every detail is thoughtfully curated to offer a luxurious, stress-free experience—so you can simply be present.
This is a space where care meets creativity. Where your baby is held with the same tenderness I give my own, and you are supported from the first email to the final delivery. It’s never about chasing perfection. It’s about preserving the real—through a lens that is bold, glamorous, and deeply rooted in emotion.
I believe in images that are striking and soulful. Portraits that feel elevated, yet honest. That celebrate who you are in this moment, and still stand the test of time.
If you're looking for more than just a photoshoot—if you're looking to be seen, celebrated, and cared for—you’re in the right place.
am so excited you're here. I am Shanyn and the owner & photographer at Shanyn Nicole Studios. My passion is maternity, newborn, milestone, and family photography.

A snapshot into my life
mom | wife | back yard farmer | disney lover | adventure seeker
My family is my life. Having 5 kids, that isn't too surprising. However, watching my kids grow inspires me every day to be the best version of myself that I can be. Working hard while ensuring that I have enough time to make them all feel not only loved, but seen and wanted. My kids and husband are all such great humans and I'm truly blessed to get to be their mother and wife.

My Favorite Things

I met my husband at Dutch Bros and so its no surprise dutch is always near! My go to drinks at Dutch bros is the birthday cake frost. You can often find me editing, listening to a true crime or motivational podcast. I love learning about new things. If I had it my way, I'd read a new book every single day.

Traveling with my family is one of my favorite things to do. Every summer we spend exploring and one of our favorite spots to go is Zion national park in Utah. We will spend our days hiking slot canyons, beautiful trains, and enjoying the rivers. If we aren't at Zion, you can often find us at Disneyland, Lake Powell, or the beaches of Mexico!

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! :)

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!
milestone session
From a comfortable studio environment to the most unique Arizona locations. My goal is to provide you with the best experience, highest quality service, and expert care through this process. From start to finish, I'm here to help you cherish these moments forever.
