our newborn session at our Phoenix studio is a celebration of life’s most delicate and fleeting moments—crafted with intention, care, and artistry. Together, we’ll thoughtfully curate every detail, beginning with a refined color palette that reflects your personal style and aesthetic. We’ll hand-select timeless props, soft fabrics, and delicate textures that enhance the natural beauty of your baby without overwhelming the scene. From minimalist setups to softly styled accents, each element is chosen to create a cohesive and elevated look.

Anastasia was a dream for her Phoenix newborn session. Her parents chose our lifestyle studio room for their parent portraits paired with a backlit set up. With tones of pinks, greens, and neutrals, Anastasia was a dream! The lifestyle room is a great way to be able to have diversity with your family posing in a beautiful, yet relaxed, style!

Many families choose to capture both their maternity and newborn milestones together, and we make it easy by offering a bundled package. When you reserve both sessions at the same time, you’ll not only ensure availability during these important seasons—you’ll also enjoy special savings. It’s the perfect way to document your journey from bump to baby in a cohesive, timeless way.
When you’re ready to get started with your maternity session, the first step is to reach out.
1. Say Hello
Most families choose to reserve their maternity and newborn bundle at the same time, ensuring everything is planned and stress-free. For maternity, I recommend scheduling during your second trimester—ideally between 28–33 weeks if you’re expecting one baby, and even sooner if you’re expecting multiples.
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled for the first 7–21 days after birth. By booking both sessions together, we’ll secure your dates in advance and guarantee availability during these precious milestones. While we often book 2–4 months ahead, I occasionally have last-minute openings—so never hesitate to reach out and check!
2. Schedule it
Many families love the ease of bundling their maternity and newborn sessions together. Not only does this secure both milestones in advance, but it also allows you to enjoy special savings. Choose the package that best fits your vision:
Petite Maternity + Petite Newborn – $950 (Save $50)
A beautiful way to capture both stages with shorter sessions designed for simplicity and timeless keepsakes.
Premier Maternity + Platinum Newborn – $1,325 (Save $75)
Perfect for families who want more variety and detail, with extended coverage and added images to fully document these moments.
Premier Maternity + Premier Newborn – $1,500 (Save $100)
Our most popular choice for parents who want the full experience—ample time, flexibility, and a larger gallery of images that tell your story from bump to baby.

The day of your maternity or newborn session has finally arrived, and we’ll make sure it’s a calm and enjoyable experience. When you arrive at the studio, we’ll review your wardrobe selections one last time and ensure everything fits beautifully. From there, I’ll guide you through each pose and moment so you can relax and enjoy the process.
After your session, you’ll have the option to view your images right away in the studio, or—if you prefer the comfort of your own home—we can set up a convenient online viewing. Either way, you’ll be able to relive the experience and select your favorite images while the memories are still fresh.
4. Your Session
3 weeks after you select your images it's time to enjoy them! All digital images are sent via digital download. Prints and products can be picked up at the studio or hand delivered. For those who are having their maternity photos taken on their baby moon, their products will be mailed to them directly.
5. Your Photographs
At Shanyn Nicole Studios, we specialize in newborn photography, offering a unique combination of artistry, experience, and personalized service to capture your baby's most precious moments. With a deep commitment to safety and comfort, we ensure your newborn feels secure and relaxed throughout every session. Our years of experience allow us to use gentle posing techniques and create a calm, serene environment where your baby can rest comfortably, all while capturing beautiful, timeless images that you will treasure for years to come.
What truly sets us apart is our attention to detail and dedication to creating custom, one-of-a-kind sessions for every family. We understand that each newborn is unique, which is why we take the time to carefully select props, backdrops, and colors that reflect your family’s personal style. Whether you're drawn to a soft, natural aesthetic or prefer something bold and vibrant, we collaborate closely with you to bring your vision to life, ensuring that each session is as unique as your newborn.
With our studio, we offer more than just photographs; we provide a luxury experience designed to preserve your newborn's earliest moments in the most beautiful way possible. Our premium-quality prints, custom albums, and exquisite wall art allow you to showcase your baby’s portraits in your home as lasting, heirloom pieces. From the moment you book your newborn session to the final product, we are dedicated to delivering an exceptional experience and stunning photographs that will become family treasures for generations to come.
When you are ready to talk about your Phoenix newborn session, simply submit a contact form. We will go over package options and availability. Once we determine that we have availability for your due date (or baby if they're already born) you will finalize a contract, pay your booking fee, and lock in your session. Most parents book their newborn session early in the second trimester to ensure we have room on our calendar. We only accept two due dates per week.
1. Say Hello
If your baby is already born, we will schedule your session right away. However, if you're pre-booking (which is always highly encouraged when possible) you will receive a link to book your actual session date to utilize when baby is born. We will not schedule any date until baby is already born to ensure that date works perfectly.
2. Schedule it
The planning process starts as soon as you book your session. We will discuss colors, props, poses, etc. Each session is tailored to you and your family. With that being said, all sessions are led by babies comfort level. I will only pose baby in a safe and comfortable manner. Not every baby loves every pose. My studio provides an array of props and outfits to ensure that however baby is most comfortable, we have that item available.
3. Planning it
The day of your session you'll arrive to my Mesa, Arizona newborn studio and we will create magic. During this session you can relax, enjoy snacks, and we will pose your perfect, newest addition. Sessions are done Monday - Friday at 9 or 10am.
4. Your Session
Immediately following your session, you can enjoy a coffee or treat on me while I prepare your newborn session images. We will view them together, in studio, to select your favorite images for a final edit. During this time you can purchase additional digital images or purchase any additional print products.
5. Your Photographs
While every newborn session package includes a base collection of digital images, my studio also provides the option to add on prints, albums, folio boxes, canvas, and wall art. When you enter my studio you'll see every beautiful piece we offer. You'll be able to feel the quality and see first hand how precious your images will be printed.
Capturing and printing these newborn portraits ensures that you can relive the tiny details—like your baby’s delicate fingers, kisses from their big siblings, and those sleepy, cuddly poses. Each printed photo becomes a keepsake, a piece of your family’s history that can be passed down through generations. These images tell the story of the beginning of a new life and the profound love and joy that comes with it.
STRESS FREE NEWBORN SESSIONS THAT CREATE A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES
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!
