Find the Best Photographers in Henderson

Annina Kong holds certification as a Qualified Newborn Photographer through APNPI, an organization that trains photographers specifically in newborn safety handling and posing, which is a more formal credential than most competitors list. Her studio sits at 6675 S Tenaya Way in Las Vegas, and her own site describes the business as serving both Las Vegas and the Henderson area rather than treating either as an afterthought. With ten years of experience behind her, she also shoots maternity, children, weddings, and general family portraits, giving Henderson families a specialist newborn credential paired with the flexibility of a broader portrait practice. The safety certification is worth calling out directly to parents who are nervous about the wrapping, posing, and prop work involved in a traditional newborn session, since APNPI training specifically addresses that risk. 

Abish Tatum operates a dedicated newborn photo studio in Henderson, located just off the 215 freeway near St. Rose Parkway, which makes it an easy stop for families across the southeast valley without a long drive into Las Vegas proper. Alongside newborn work, the business lists family, maternity, milestone, and headshot sessions, with on-location shoots available throughout Las Vegas and the surrounding area for clients who’d rather not bring a brand-new baby into a studio. The Henderson studio address gives it a genuine home-base in the city rather than a Las Vegas photographer simply listing Henderson as a service area, which matters for families specifically looking for someone local. Contact is handled directly by phone or email rather than an online booking widget, so scheduling requires a short conversation up front about timing and package options. 

Susy Martinez runs her newborn business from a home-based studio in Henderson and describes herself as an award-winning photographer who also shoots maternity, baby, and family sessions across the Las Vegas valley. What sets her apart from a straightforward studio operation is the location work: her portfolio references sessions at the Neon Museum, Valley of Fire, and Spring Mountain Ranch, meaning some of her newborn-adjacent family and maternity bookings happen well outside a typical indoor setup. For the newborn stage specifically, her site notes the ideal window is six to fourteen days after birth, in line with the standard advice most specialists give for the sleepiest, most poseable stage. Session fees start at $250, on the more accessible end for the valley. Client testimonials on the site are enthusiastic, though none include a specific star rating or review count, so families should treat the five-star praise as anecdotal rather than a verified aggregate score. 

LaLa Photography Henderson bills itself as one of the valley’s most-booked baby and family studios, and the numbers behind that claim are hard to ignore: the business says it has worked with more than sixty thousand families across the region. That kind of volume usually means an efficient, well-rehearsed studio process, and client feedback backs it up, with reviewers specifically calling out the patient, well-organized posing during their newborn sessions. The studio splits its work between Henderson and Summerlin, giving families on either side of the valley a closer option than driving downtown. Sessions focus on classic newborn imagery, soft light, simple wraps, and family-inclusive shots, aimed at parents who want a dependable, high-volume studio rather than a boutique one-photographer operation. 

Essie Rose runs a dedicated maternity, newborn, and baby portrait studio out of Las Vegas, close enough to Henderson that it shows up as a go-to option for families across that stretch of the valley. Her specialty is the posed newborn look: babies wrapped and settled into sleepy, curled positions that take real patience and safety training to pull off, and her reviews back up that patience, including praise for handling a late newborn session that ran long without anyone feeling rushed. The in-studio setup means consistent lighting and temperature control, both of which matter more than people expect when working with an infant only days old. With a perfect five-star average across dozens of reviews, this is a studio built around one specialty rather than a wedding photographer who also shoots babies on the side. 

Marie Grantham has spent more than fifteen years photographing newborns across the Las Vegas valley, and Henderson sits squarely inside the territory she lists as her regular service area. Her Yelp history tells a repeat-client story that’s rare in this business: parents who booked their first baby’s newborn session come back twenty-one months later for a sibling, then again after that, building a photo timeline with the same photographer rather than starting over each time. That kind of longevity points to a studio that treats newborn sessions as a relationship, not a one-off transaction. Sessions are handled with an experienced hand around safety and posing, which matters most in the delicate first two weeks of a baby’s life when positioning has to be done carefully. With over fifty reviews and a strong average rating, Henderson families get a photographer whose reputation was built one returning family at a time. 

SheenaGal Photography has been serving the Las Vegas valley since 2013, and Henderson families are named directly in the studio’s stated service area alongside Green Valley and the rest of the southern valley. Owner Sheena books a limited number of sessions each month, which keeps turnaround times short and gives every newborn a genuinely unhurried sitting. Her session guidance is specific and practical: babies are photographed between five and ten days old, before the fussy stage sets in, with bookings made ahead of the due date since a delivery day is never certain. The style leans toward soft, timeless portraiture rather than heavily staged setups, and the studio’s nearly hundred five-star reviews consistently mention how calm and organized the experience feels for first-time parents. For a Henderson family wanting a photographer who treats newborn timing as a science rather than an afterthought, this is a proven local option. 

JD Photography NV has been serving Henderson families since 2005, and newborn portraits sit right alongside maternity work as a core part of their studio offerings. Sessions are built around a relaxed, unhurried pace so a days-old baby can be soothed, fed, and settled between setups rather than rushed through a checklist. The studio’s approach favors soft, timeless posing and simple wraps over trend-driven props, which keeps the finished gallery looking good well past the newborn stage. Families in Henderson and the greater Las Vegas valley have kept this team booked for two decades, and their Google reviews reflect consistent praise for patience with fussy infants and clear communication before and during the shoot. A five-star average across dozens of reviews backs up what repeat clients already know: this is a studio built for long sittings with a newborn, not a quick portrait mill. 

A commercial photography degree and years spent working in Chicago’s creative industry sit behind Audrey Tarris’s move into family and newborn portraiture, a shift that shows in the more editorial, controlled compositions found throughout her galleries. Her site lists newborn sessions in the same breath as maternity work and multi-generational family portraits, along with high school senior sessions — a fairly wide range that suggests a photographer building a full-service portrait business rather than narrowing into one single niche. One gallery image sums up a common newborn framing device in her work: a tiny hand wrapped around an adult’s finger, shot close and in shadowless, even light rather than a heavily styled set. That preference for clean, straightforward compositions over prop-heavy staging runs through much of her newborn portfolio. Based in the Henderson area, she works with families across the greater Las Vegas valley and books sessions for the newborn window as well as bump-to-baby maternity coverage for parents who want continuous documentation through pregnancy and the earliest weeks after birth. Her commercial background also comes through in her retouching, which leans toward polished but natural-looking skin tones rather than heavy digital smoothing. Families looking for an editorial, less prop-driven take on newborn portraiture may find her style a good match. 

Felicia Saunders opened her own studio in Henderson in 2017 after nearly a decade working inside professional portrait studios, a background that shows in how methodically her newborn sessions are run. Her own website frames the appeal in simple terms: newborns only stay small for a short window, and the photos exist to hold onto the feelings that come with that stage rather than just document how the baby looked. Sessions draw on a range of setups — swaddled poses in a bowl or basket, closer detail shots of hands and feet, and simpler frames with the baby held by a parent — giving families a mixed gallery rather than a single repeated pose style. Being Henderson-based herself, she’s built her client list largely from within the city and surrounding Las Vegas valley, giving her working knowledge of the area’s studios, in-home session logistics, and typical scheduling needs for new parents. Her earlier studio background also means she’s spent years handling lighting and posing situations before ever opening her own business, rather than starting a newborn specialty from scratch. For Henderson families who want a locally based photographer with almost two decades of combined studio and independent experience, her session menu covers the newborn window along with the maternity and family portraits many clients book around it. 

Rodney Turner built his Las Vegas photography business around portraits before weddings became a core part of the work, and that background still shows in how he approaches a wedding day — with close attention to natural expression and mood rather than rigid, forced poses. His portfolio spans headshots, senior portraits, and weddings, giving him a range of experience directing people who aren’t professional models to look relaxed in front of a camera, a skill that translates directly to wedding-day portraits of nervous couples and extended family groups. Rodney frames his work around storytelling elements, aiming for images that hold up as a narrative of the day rather than a disconnected set of posed shots. He maintains an active online presence with a regularly updated website, gallery features highlighting specific weddings and engagements he’s shot, and a newsletter for past and prospective clients. On WeddingWire, Rodney Turner Photography holds a 4.9 average rating from couples in the Las Vegas and Henderson area. His site has featured specific real weddings by name, including multi-year anniversary and engagement shoots, suggesting an established base of repeat and referral clients built over years of steady portrait and wedding work in the valley. 

Kristen Joy grew up in Las Vegas, which shows in how she photographs it — she isn’t discovering the Strip or the desert light for the first time on someone’s wedding day, she’s been shooting in it for years as a Henderson-based destination wedding photographer. Her work blends fine art composition with a photojournalistic eye, meaning she’ll set up a genuinely composed, intentional frame for key moments like the first look, then step back into documentary mode for the reception once the formal portraits wrap. Kristen describes her team as storytellers first, and the galleries she delivers tend to favor timeless, emotionally driven images over trend-chasing edits that might look dated in five years. Beyond local Henderson and Las Vegas weddings, she regularly travels for destination ceremonies, giving out-of-state couples getting married in Nevada — or Nevada couples marrying elsewhere — a consistent point of contact rather than hiring separately in each location. Her studio maintains an active presence across Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest, where she posts recent work alongside her portfolio galleries. On WeddingWire she holds a 4.9 average rating, with a strong recommendation rate from past couples who worked with her on both intimate and larger-scale Southern Nevada weddings. 

Kayla Bowen photographs weddings out of two very different home bases — Las Vegas and Portland, Oregon — and says she’ll go wherever a couple is getting married, from a Red Rock elopement to a destination ceremony out of state. Her style leans toward timeless, true-to-color images rather than heavy filters or trend-driven editing, and she’s specifically drawn to what she calls the in-between moments: the laughter between formal poses, the happy tears during vows, the small unscripted seconds that end up mattering more than the posed shots. Kayla treats the relationship with a couple as starting well before the wedding day itself, aiming to feel like a friend behind the camera by the time the ceremony actually happens rather than a vendor a couple met once at a consultation. Every wedding collection includes a complimentary engagement session, giving couples a low-pressure trial run in front of her camera, along with full-resolution digital files and an online gallery for downloads once editing is complete. On WeddingWire, she holds a 5.0 average across 12 reviews. Couples can reach her directly by email or follow her ongoing wedding work on Instagram, where she regularly shares galleries from recent Las Vegas and Pacific Northwest ceremonies. 

JD Photography NV traces back to a childhood ambition — the photographer behind the lens says she wanted to be a photographer from the age of eight — and turned that into a full-time Henderson-based business in 2005, giving her more than two decades in the field. Rather than specializing narrowly, JD Photography NV works across contemporary, natural, photojournalism, traditional, and vintage styles, and the studio’s client list spans well beyond weddings into engagement sessions, seniors and graduation portraits, maternity, newborn, and family photography. That range means couples booking their wedding photography can often stay with the same photographer for engagement shoots beforehand and family portraits well after the wedding itself. On WeddingWire, JD Photography NV holds a 4.8 average across 30 reviews, with clients frequently noting the range of styles she’s able to move between depending on what a couple wants from their gallery — some lean traditional and posed, others want a documentary, photojournalistic record of the day. Based in Henderson and serving the wider Las Vegas valley, JD Photography NV has built its reputation over close to two decades of steady, varied work rather than a single signature look, which suits couples who aren’t sure exactly what photography style they want until they see the options side by side. 

Chiemi McGhie photographs weddings out of her Henderson studio on Armacost Drive with a style she describes as photojournalism that turns into creative, considered images — not just candid grabs, but frames she’s actively composing as the day unfolds. With more than ten years shooting weddings across the Las Vegas valley, she’s built a client list that includes ceremonies at the JW Marriott and the Platinum Hotel & Spa, two of the busier wedding venues in the valley, where a photographer needs to know the lighting and layout well enough to move fast between locations. Her WeddingWire reviews put her at a 4.9 average across 42 reviews, with 98% of couples recommending her, a track record built specifically on hotel and resort-style weddings rather than outdoor or destination ceremonies. Chiemi works as a solo owner-operator rather than a studio with multiple shooters, which means the person a couple meets during booking is the same person behind the camera on the wedding day itself. Her focus stays narrow and deliberate: Las Vegas-area weddings and events, photographed with an eye trained specifically on how Southern Nevada’s resort venues actually look and feel in person, rather than a generic approach imported from elsewhere. 

Tiago Pinheiro splits his wedding photography between two formats that most studios have abandoned entirely — 35mm film and digital — often shooting both during the same ceremony to give couples a mix of grain-rich, timeless frames alongside crisp digital coverage. Based at 1549 Sabatini Drive in Henderson, he’s been photographing weddings since 2013, building a portfolio that stretches from the Las Vegas Strip to Phoenix and destination locations well outside Nevada. His approach favors spontaneity over direction: rather than staging formal group shots for hours, he leans into candid, in-the-moment photography that he describes as capturing ‘marriages with personality.’ Beyond full wedding-day coverage, Tiago also books elopement sessions, engagement shoots, and boudoir photography, giving couples a way to work with the same photographer across multiple pre-wedding milestones. His WeddingWire profile carries a perfect 5.0 rating across 63 reviews, with couples consistently rating him highly on flexibility and responsiveness — traits that matter when a wedding timeline shifts last minute. Tiago has also been featured by Fearless Photographers, a juried collective that recognizes standout wedding images industry-wide, and continues to post new galleries regularly, including as recently as this year. 

M Place Productions runs less like a solo photographer and more like a small production company — which is exactly the point. Owner Matthew built the Las Vegas-based studio around a team model, training every associate photographer and cinematographer to shoot in a consistent, cohesive style so couples get a unified look no matter who’s behind the camera that day. The team covers both photography and cinematography for weddings, along with family and corporate work, and markets itself on creating a ‘fun, relaxed, and positive experience’ rather than a stiff, direction-heavy shoot. With 72 reviews and a 4.9 average on WeddingWire, M Place has built a reputation across the Las Vegas Valley, including Henderson, for reliability at scale — a useful trait for couples juggling large guest lists or multi-vendor timelines where photography needs to run on schedule. Because the studio pairs photography with in-house cinematography, couples working with M Place Productions can book both services through a single point of contact rather than coordinating separate photo and video vendors. The company can be reached directly by email to begin the booking process, and its portfolio spans everything from intimate ceremonies to full-scale Las Vegas wedding productions. 

McKenzie Stewart didn’t set out to shoot polished, magazine-style poses — she built her Henderson-based studio around what she calls ‘real, raw moments,’ the kind that happen when a couple forgets the camera is even there. In 17 years photographing weddings across the Las Vegas valley, she’s earned the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award twice and built a client base that recommends her almost universally: 100% of couples on WeddingWire and a 5.0 average across 75 reviews. Every wedding package includes online proofing, so couples aren’t waiting weeks to see a handful of teaser images, and packages start at $700, with average client spend closer to $2,400 for fuller day-of coverage. She describes her clients as everyday couples rather than models, and her photography leans documentary — capturing genuine laughter, nerves, and family reactions rather than orchestrating them. McKenzie also shoots engagement sessions as a lead-up to the wedding day, giving couples a chance to get comfortable in front of her camera before the big day. Woman-owned and Henderson-based, she takes on weddings with no real travel restrictions, following couples to venues throughout Southern Nevada and beyond when the job calls for it. 

Keith Kaplan built his business around a simple idea: a Las Vegas wedding shouldn’t come with a five-figure photography bill attached. Working out of Henderson and covering the entire Las Vegas Valley — the Strip, Downtown, Red Rock Canyon, even the ghost town at Nelson — Keith has become the go-to for couples who want rich, vivid color and a modern editorial feel without pricing themselves out of a photographer altogether. Packages start at $395, transportation to venues is built in, and every client walks away owning full copyright to their images, a detail many studios quietly leave out of the fine print. Each photo gets individually adjusted in Adobe Lightroom rather than run through a single batch filter, which Keith says can add six to ten hours of editing time per wedding but keeps skin tones and lighting consistent across a full gallery. He’s especially known for his two-hour ‘Internet Wedding Special,’ built for elopements and courthouse-style ceremonies on the Strip that still deserve a proper gallery. With more than 250 reviews on WeddingWire, he’s shot everywhere from casino chapels to backyard ceremonies, and his approach stays the same regardless of budget: show up, work fast, and hand over images that don’t look like they came from a discount package.
