As I grew, I realized that I was not interested in telling your story like everyone else told theirs. Your story is not like theirs and it shouldn’t look like it either. If you're anything like us, your kids are not going to sit posed perfectly. You embrace their personalities, you cherish the moments that are not going to last forever. That is what I am here to capture. 

I will always embrace the serious faces and I will always fix your hair. I will always ensure that you are comfortable and that your children are loved as much as mine when in our studio. We will always strive to capture you just as you are. And always, always cheer you on.

So here we are, capturing your unforgettable, real life moments. If you're like me and you value attention to detail, authentic moments, and a a personal touch to your portraits. 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

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 coffee is always near! My go to coffee at Dutch bros is a golden eagle with white coffee, iced of course. You can often find me editing, listening to a true crime or motivational podcast. I love learning about new things! 

Coffee & Podcasts

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! 

Traveling

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!

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!
