My Unique Picture

...and a little bit about me

Hi! My name is Shabnam, and I am a photographer located in Austin and Houston, Texas. I have been in the field for more than 15 years and have been loving every minute of it. I received a Bachelor’s in Photography from The Art & Architectural Institute of Azad University. I appreciate the people I meet, the places I go to capture memories, and all the enjoying moments in every shoot. I am a Natural light and Studio Light photographer that specializes in maternity, newborns, children, and family pictures.

 

I am a dedicated person with a family of four. I have been happily married for 17 years to my husband, Rambod. He is my rock, my backbone, and my inspiration. He is the reason I have been able to continue photography and do what I love. I have two beautiful children, Anoush (10 yrs. old) and Arsheen (7 yrs. old).

 

I mostly specialize in the art of maternity, newborn, and family photography. I have worked with countless newborns and am fully licensed, insured, and trained in newborn safety. I put lots of thought and care into each session. Each session styled by me is unique. When I get behind the camera, I focus on capturing the natural attribute of the subject to create lifelong memories that will bring back that special moment in time.

 

To live life to the fullest. I am thankful for the beautiful moments of everyday life and for capturing those in-between moments. I would be extremely honored if you consider me to capture your life’s unforgettable moments and grow with you and your family. Photography is the art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
–Elliott Erwitt

My Unique Picture Photography

Thank you for visiting our site in considering using us for your most valued moments in life. There are so many important moments that slip away undocumented. Believe me when I say these times are fleeting, and documenting them is just what you need to do.

 

You will never get your first 14 days of your newborn squishy goodness back, so now is the time to think about what is most important for you to document. Whether it is booking a Newborn Session to document those sweet little fingers and toes in all the beautiful squishy poses, or your toddler’s Milestone Session to document those first few times they sit up, or whether it is a family session to capture the love and beauty of your changing family…… whatever are the most important times are that you want to document, don’t hesitate to do it.

 

Booking a Professional Photographer to take these images that will last a lifetime is so important. I hope you love what you see here, and I can’t wait to work with you!

We recently had a pleasure to get our baby’s photoshoot done.. Shabnam was very professional and wonderful to work with. Being a first time mom, I was very scared before the appointment on how my baby will be handled. Shabnam was really really caring and was very gentle in handling my baby.. Coming to her photography, she a has a wide variety of themes that you can select from and her portraits were great. We definitely would recommend her for your baby’s photoshoot..

I had Shabnam take both maternity and newborn photos!Shabnam is very friendly, was accommodating when I arrived a few minutes late, and accommodated the poses I requested. Shabnam also provided input regarding the poses and made sure to capture genuine moments in my newborn session.I was nervous before the maternity shoot but shabnam made me feel so comfortable and I ended up having such a great time!Shabnam was very careful with my newborn, supplied a sound machine to help my baby sleep, gave us time to feed & do diaper changes in between photos.Shabnam was also courteous and wore a mask during the photo session which I appreciated considering she was working with our brand new baby.Shabnam made sure to capture a variety of settings for the newborn session and was very careful when handling our baby.Her photography skills are superb, hence why I returned to her for my newborn photos.

I would rate her 0 if there was any option for it .worst customer service ,rude n ruined the dream we had for our first baby photoshoot .She did not let us see d pictures at the session time when i asked for it she said its not allowed and later when received pictures turned out to be nightmare with error that could not be fixed . Baby Swaddle she did was all messed up but rather than fixing it she just said the pictures were ok and kept clicking it and later when received pictures after 2 weeks all i could do was get upset as that period of my baby would never return .She was in so much rush,did not help to settle baby for pictures , instead gone to edit pictures of other photosession in between our session. when i expressed my disappointment after seeing pictures after weeks kept saying photo was not as expected just coz my baby was fussy .Newborn photoshoot is an art as baby is expected to be fussy and takes lot of patience ,dedication n time which she clearly did not have at all.I was offered for 2 pictures free for rating her good but i did not want that rather i want everybody to know my experience. It’s been months but whenever i look at the pictures ,i get so upset for not getting what i was supposed to get after paying and believing she was good seeing all those positive reviews. She replied to me saying she let me see d pictures but just look at the pictures i received do u think i will be ok with this swaddle which is not even correctly wrapped of i have seen it N ,yes she said i took the pictures ofcourse i will take the pictures coz this is precious memory for me which i will never get back so even though pictures r not what i expected i kept it all just fot my baby memory .she said i received 2 free pictures totally wrong i have not rated or reviewed her so why would she give 2 pictures for free .I took the extra pictures and all pictures paying coz i did not wanted to rate wrong thing😕Yes i reviewed this late coz i was going through postpatrum phase with my own difficulties so did not work on this review matter at that time .N for clarity i have posted pictures of swaddle how it was done which could have been corrected if she have shown pictures to us at dat time or has given attention while clicking pictures instead of rushing and being rude😳

Shabnam did a great job with the new born photography. She provided him with all props and clothes needed for the photo shoot. She did a good job with the editing. I just would have appreciated that she would have suggested a better background for family photos, since with a dark background our hair is not visible.

I am glad I found Shabnam for my maternity photography. She was very friendly and easy to work with. She made the photoshoot effortless and easy even in the hot Texas summer. She was very accommodating when I told her I have moved from a cold weather place and this weather is too much for first time especially with full term pregnancy and moved my time slot to morning by managing it with her other client for that time. She have good collection of outfits and she made us pose so quickly and easily by guiding us throughout. I would recommend her to everyone I know.
