Located In Gilbert, Arizona
Nakupenda Photography is a Gilbert, Arizona based photographer serving the greater phoenix area. Specializing in creating sessions that are an unforgettable experience your children will remember and treasure forever resulting in fine art portraits you will treasure. If you are looking for sweet and memorable sessions that capture the innocence of your child in this moment, look no further. From sweet newborn sessions for your baby, a memorable session for a senior, a birthday milestone or just really love portraits of your child, Nakupenda Photography is sure to offer something you will love and treasure forever.
Creation—I'll help you create the perfect portrait session for your baby, child(ren) or senior
Preparation—From props and costumes/wardrobe to picking the perfect location and set up, I'll do it all
Day-of kid Convincing—This is not your average portrait experience, I know how to get kids to look and act their best (at least for a few frames). You can step back, relax and let the photographer worry about the smiles.
Final files and prints—From digital files to exquisite canvas prints, you can get just what you want
Location- While I am based in Gilbert I’ll suggest a location that fits your desire whether you reside in Gilbert or in a the surrounding area. As a photographer I pride myself on knowledge of the best locations in the Phoenix valley.
You can Relax- I’ll be there to help plan, style, guide your session and coax out real smiles to ensure the outcome is how you truly envisioned it
Your child will love me- I’ll patiently crawl on my knees at their level, chase them around, crack fart jokes, talk about princesses, dream about superheroes or ask about their passions to truly get to know them.
More than just a snapshot- Iphones are great for documenting daily life, but professional photography captures the essence of your child and takes the stress away from you.
Pictures you will treasure forever- your child changes quickly, before you know it, childhood will be gone and an adult will stand in front of you. Capture the magic, innocence and imagination before it fades.
It’s about more than just the pictures: “Patience, connection, a part of the family, approachable, loving, my kids trust her”… in addition to the creative images, these are the reasons families list for returning to me year after year

“I know I'm always singing Katie's with Nakupenda Photography praises and this folks is why. For Paxton’s Birthday pictures Katie said let's do something fun, a superhero shoot, Aquaman! Of course we were on Board. She did all the research (location scouting & outfit planning) and sent me links to purchase. This photoshoot surpassed any expectations I had! After just a sneak peek of our session, I can only imagine what the rest of the images are going to look like! This right here is why we will ALWAYS choose Nakupenda Photography for all of our family photo. #notyouraveragechildphotographer -Veronica

So Obsessed! As a lover of photos and documenting moments, I am typically the one behind the lens. However, I am making an effort to be present with my kids and to be in that photo no matter what...so when one day they look back they have these memories. Nakupenda Photography definitely has exceptional talent for capturing beauty like this. Im so thankful for her💛

Katie is just amazing!! I live in another city so we communicated through email leading up to the session. It was agonizing waiting for pictures to be ready, I wanted to see so badly! When I finally got the gallery, the first one I saw was my 5 yr old laying her head on the horse’s body and she was stunning! I had tears in my eyes...That's. Never. Happened! …. there's NO WAY I can only pick a few poses and be satisfied. I want the whole package!! -Nancy
