Signature astro portraits

You. Your people.
The universe.

Some photographs bring you right back to a moment. Others remind you how extraordinary it felt to be there.

A quiet stretch of desert. The person you love beside you. A sky you almost forgot to look up at. Shannon Roberts’s astro portraits bring those feelings together in a photograph that deserves more than a place on your phone.

For couples, individuals and milestones that call for something personal, we build the session around you and the night sky.

Plan an astro portrait session

Made for the night

A little wonder.
A considered plan.

The setting
Tell us what draws you in: red rock, open sky, a favorite Arizona place. We’ll talk through location, access and your comfort outdoors.
The timing
We plan around the season, moon and weather. If you want daylight portraits as well, we can discuss a session that follows the light into evening.
The feeling
You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose. Bring the people and the meaning; we’ll guide the photographs.

Portraits & milestones

Life, in full color.

An engagement. A graduation. A family chapter. Or simply a good reason to be in the photograph.

Couples & proposals

A place that means something. Space to laugh, move and be yourselves. Engagement and couples sessions can feel like a shared adventure, while a proposal begins with a thoughtful plan for the moment itself.

Plan your couples session

Portraits & graduation

Photographs for who you are now. From individual portraits and family sessions to graduation with your closest friends, we discuss the setting, people and details that make the photographs yours.

Places with a point of view.

Resorts, hospitality and destination brands need photographs that do more than show a space. They need to communicate the experience of being there. We discuss the setting, atmosphere, details and perspective that make your property distinctive.

People behind the business.

Brand portraits and team photography put a face to your work. We plan images around your audience and where they will live—your website, campaign, social channels or press materials.

For photography, video or both, start with your goals. Your proposal defines the shot priorities, deliverables and usage rights for the project.

Event photography & video

The room.
The energy.
The people.

A private celebration, a company gathering or an event your team has spent months bringing to life. The photographs should hold onto its atmosphere as well as its key moments.

We discuss the schedule, people, details and essential coverage with you or your planner. For business events, tell us how the images or film will be used so we can plan with the final audience in mind.

Talk through your event

Before we make something

A few good
questions.

What is an astro portrait?

An astro portrait brings a person or couple into a night-sky photograph. The landscape, stars and connection between people become part of the same image. Shannon Roberts makes these portraits a signature of Arizona Photo and Video’s work.

How do we plan a night-sky session?

Start with your preferred month, location and the people taking part. We discuss the moon, season, weather, access and how much walking feels comfortable before choosing a plan. Milky Way visibility depends on the conditions; it is never guaranteed for a particular night.

Can we photograph sunset and the stars?

Tell us you want both when you inquire. We can discuss a session that moves from daylight into darkness, with the time, locations and coverage reflected in your proposal.

Where do you photograph portraits and commercial projects?

We work across Arizona, including Sedona, Flagstaff and Prescott. Share the setting you have in mind, or ask for location ideas. Travel, access and any location requirements are discussed for your specific project.

How much does a session or project cost?

Portraits, astro sessions, events and commercial projects are quoted individually. Your proposal confirms the time, location, photography or video deliverables, usage rights, travel and final price before you book. Share your budget and intended use so we can shape a relevant proposal.
