Why we ranked them

Why we chose Sheena Chakeres Photography

Sheena Chakeres runs an in-home newborn and maternity photography practice out of Santa Fe, working from a small home studio called Nimbus & Nook on Upper Canyon Road that's stocked with soft wraps, backdrops, and fabric for infant sessions. Her broader portfolio spans maternity, family, elopements, and small weddings across Northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, but the newborn work leans deliberately calm and unstaged, built around letting a days-old baby set the pace rather than working through a checklist of poses. She describes her interest as being drawn to human stories set against the landscapes where they happen, which shows up in how often her newborn and maternity sessions incorporate natural light and the high-desert setting outside Santa Fe rather than a purely white studio backdrop. Because her client base already includes couples she's photographed for engagements or weddings, a portion of her newborn bookings come from repeat clients returning at a new stage of family life rather than first-time inquiries. Sessions are intentionally unhurried, described on her site as calm, natural, and intimate, with an emphasis on the family's own home environment over a portable studio setup brought in from outside.
