Shani Arlee
Photography & Artwork Inspired by Family Life
Family Photo Shoots
Family photography for those magnetically magic moments.
Los Angeles & South Bay family photographer capturing connection, tenderness, chaos, and the fleeting details parents never want to forget.
My Philosophy
It’s not about perfect poses or overly polished moments.
I’m drawn to the moments that feel like your real life:
the way your toddler curls into your shoulder,
the laughter in between photos,
the snack breaks,
the chaos,
the tenderness,
the tiny expressions you already know are changing too fast.
My goal is to create photographs that feel honest and emotionally true — images that bring you back to this season of life years from now.
What I Offer
In-home family sessions
Slow mornings, playtime, newborn snuggles, baking cookies, bedtime routines, everyday life.
Outdoor family sessions
Beach walks, golden light, movement, exploration, connection.
Motherhood & baby sessions
The early years, feeding, carrying, closeness, and the deep bond between parent and child.
Let’s get creative
Add more art to your life with whimsical custom illustrations.
Turn your photos into mixed media art. Whether you’re making a holiday card, an album, or just want an artsy piece for your child’s bedroom, that’s where my illustrations can come in.
