timeless and simple milestone portraits in phoenix
Featured phoenix milestone Galleries
Meet Thomas J. The cutest 6 month old baby there ever was! This cute boy came to my Phoenix baby studio to capture his 6 month milestone pictures. Mom was wanting a timeless, classic portrait that would stand the test of time. Thomas is such a ham! And truly just so much fun to get to capture. Having a portrait that will never go out of style is so important.

It brings me so much joy when parents bring their second (and third, and fourth, and fifth!) babies back for their milestone portraits. Isabels big sister was in the studio just last year celebrating her first birthday and now I get to capture this cute girl! These timeless, classic, and simple birthday portraits are to die for. With our milestone portraits you can add on a balloon and have full use of our milestone prop collection, including chairs + letters!

Samuel is such a blessing. This sweet boy has been coming to me since he was a newborn - and his 9 month milestone session was more amazing than anything! While I love a neutral set, I love incorporating color into milestone sessions. There is nothing like a beautiful pop of color to share your adorable baby. I have a wide range of colors to choose from in my Phoenix milestone studio.

As a mother of 5, I know how hard it can be to coordinate everything for your milestone photography sessions. That's why when you book a session with me everything is included. From outfits to perfectly match the set, props, backdrop, and more. You can sit back, enjoy your babies milestones, and let us do the work (and the laundry!)
Milestone sessions take place when baby is responding to their name and smiling. Sitter sessions take place when baby is actively sitting on their own, birthday sessions take place around 11 months, and birthday milestones can take place any time you're ready to celebrate. Want to capture them just because? We can do that too!
Sit back & enjoy this experience. let me help you capture your babies milestones.

When you're ready to book your milestone session, simply send an inquiry form and we will chat about package options and all of the fine details.
1. Say Hello
One we finalize packages, location, set options, and other fine details - we will schedule your milestone session. These take place in my mesa, Arizona studio Monday through Saturday. Milestone sessions are typically booked 3-6 months in advance, however we can often accommodate sooner appointments.
2. Schedule it
Planning your milestone session consists of picking a theme, backdrop colors, and outfits. This can be as hands on or hands off as you'd like. I have an entire prep guide that will walk you through the process of planning.
3. Planning it
The day of your session you'll have prepped and prepared and now its time to celebrate! You'll arrive early to allow your baby to get used to the environment and then we will capture their milestone session. These are baby led sessions, meaning we go at their pace. Some babies are done really fast while others need the full allotment of time.
4. Your Session
You have the option to view your images in studio immediately or receive an online proofing gallery. You'll be able to select the images you want for your package and buy any extra digitals at this point. During this portion of your session you'll be able to view our albums, wall art, and all of the products we offer. Products are all available for an optional additional purchase.
5. Your Photographs
Your milestone session is thoughtfully designed to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. You'll receive a comprehensive welcome and prep guide to help you feel ready and confident, whether your session takes place in my portrait studio in Mesa, Arizona. At my studio you can relax and enjoy a treat + drink or watch us work our magic.
I recommend booking your milestone session 3-6 months in advance by signing your contract and paying a $250.00 retainer. These sessions are ideally held 3-4 weeks prior to the milestone we are documenting. Each session begins with a personal consultation where we'll discuss your preferences and vision, ensuring the photos beautifully capture these exciting milestones!
On the day of your session, I'll guide you through various setups and poses, using a mix of natural and studio lighting to create stunning, timeless images of your child. Whether we are documenting their first birthday, a milestone, or more. You're in the right place.
After the session, you will review the images either in studio or at home. You’ll select the photos included in your pre-purchased package, with the option to purchase additional digital files, fine art prints, and other albums. Once final editing is complete, your images will be delivered via digital download.

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! :)
newborn session
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!
