Shanyn and her team get the job done. She's excellent with kids being that she's a mom herself. Loves what she does and it shows. She's also got such a fun energy to be around which can help make pictures feel considerably less awkward. She's taken annual pictures of our growing family and we love her!

I have worked with Shayna 2 times over the last year and have an additional session booked. Not only is her work amazing she is a wonderful person to work with! She makes you feel beyond comfortable during your session and takes the time to get to know you. Her photos are stunning! Her studio is just beyond amazing and she is all around an amazing photographer!

We have been photographed by Shanyn (twice a year) for the past four years and I cannot even begin to describe how much we adore her! Shanyn is beyond talented and always manages to capture our family beautifully! She is super professional, prompt in her communication, and manages to send galleries out before the contract date. Shanyn makes each session so easy and we always feel comfortable in front of her camera! She is amazing with our children and so kind. With each photoshoot, she changes it up and doesn’t skip a beat when posing us. Shanyn captures every magical moment and I cry every time

We recently did our Christmas PJ Mini session with Shanyn and we absolutely loved it!! She was so great with capturing such memorable photos of our family and made us feel so comfortable! She was friendly, professional and easy to work with. The session was quick and easy which was perfect when dealing with a 2 year old. So thankful for this Christmas session and I’m so glad we found Shanyn Nicole Photography this year! Highly recommended!

Shanyn is not only an amazingly talented photographer who delivers an amazing product, she is also so very kind and patient throughout the whole process! When my littlest one of three wasn't feeling 100% happy during our motherhood session (normal stranger danger stuff), she made sure to be patient, calm and kind with her to help her feel comfortable and it worked! I was left with AMAZING pictures that make my heart soar and truly represent my love for my little ones. She is dedicated, professional, and above all her work speaks for herself. I would go back to her 1000 times, and recommend her

My daughter had her wedding photographed by Shanyn.
I found her unprofessional and rude.
She came into the bridal suite like she owned the place. Ordering people around and was extremely pushy.
When my daughter was getting dressed she kicked myself and her sister out of the room and said she'd let us know when the "reveal" would happen. Not wanting to make a fuss or stress my daughter out; we obliged.
About 70 minutes later I went to my daughters room only to find out they'd left for the venue already.
No pictures with my daughter on her wedding day. She didn&apos

We received a delivery in the mail from Shanyn yesterday that had a kind, hand-written note of apology and a beautiful keepsake box engraved with our last name and wedding date. While it doesn't make up for the experience, which she acknowledged was lacking, it was an incredibly sweet gesture and much appreciated by my husband and myself.

Shanyn has done multiple sessions for me and my family- from maternity, to newborn, to milestones and beyond. She is *quite literally* THE BEST! Not only are her skills top notch (the end result is always beautiful), but she is personable, wonderful with kids (fussy newborns do not even phase her), and beyond reasonably priced. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for quality, value, and a great all around experience!

I went ahead and searched up and down for a great photographer. The price is okay. However the customer service completely Lacks. If you're looking for a photographer but you don't have to beg for your pictures this is definitely not the one for you. I also went ahead and had to drive twice from El Mirage due to the baby not cooperating. The first session was a bit long and she was very patient but the second session was a waste of my time. Her attitude was very uncomfortable I highly recommend anybody to continue searching. I would have much rather stayed a little bit more and have gotten

Im about to graduate from nursing school and wanted a shoot with my kids and me in my scrubs/cap and gown, to capture this huge accomplishment. I thought the shoot went terrible and after the shoot I was hoping for at least one good one. I have three young kids (3,4 and 6) and they were on a different level that day. If you have kids you know what I mean. When I received the photos back, I couldn't believe the photos came from that shoot. She so perfectly captured more than I could've imagined and I'm totally wow'd.

I am happy to give a good review for a well deserving, hardworking professional. Shanyn saved the DAY for my stepdaughter's wedding when her original photographer informed her he couldn't make it only hours before her wedding!! (He was booked months in advance and was to fly in from out of state, but missed two flights! ? Uh, recipe for total bridal meltdown!!) Shanyn responded to the frantic search for a replacement and shot the entire wedding with less than 2hrs notice!!! Not only did she book it down to the location at the drop of a hat, arriving at the time scheduled with the missing

Shanyn was incredibly professional and friendly. She captured the personality of our family perfectly. The prices are good and the quality is great. She offers different options such as indoor/outdoor, depending on the look you want, as well as mini sessions for holidays. We will be using her again.

Shanyn is not just a great photographer. She's a superb director as well. She did my engagement photos, providing clear direction to ensure capturing us in the most candid moments and making us both feel natural, not awkward like other photo shoots can be! The result was beautiful, organic photos that truly reflected our genuine love. Thanks, Shanyn!

Shanyn is the best. Hands down. She takes beautiful, creative pictures that always seem to turn out perfect. She knows how to make you feel beautiful and comfortable. She is also great with kids and is very patient. If you need Boudoir? Family pics? New baby? Graduation? Wedding? Birthdays? You name it she can do it and she always has killer deals. Look no further.

I've had THREE different sessions with Shanyn and have been pleased every single time. Her work is GREAT, she is very professional yet fun! My photos are always provided in a timely manner and looking better than expected. Most recently she shot my wedding! Perfect day with the perfect photographer. She went out of her way to step in and help when I needed it and still turned out amazing photos and all my guest loved her!
