Until I had my own children, I didn’t realize motherhood would feel like this — that I would wish for time to slow down and speed up all at once. To plan for their future and crave the past, hoping to truly embrace what my kids are like at every age, while preparing them for the next.
While it’s frustratingly impossible to remember every second of the cuddles and the charm of my kids before they’re onto the next phase of childhood, it is possible to slow down, every once in a while to give a resounding yes to what life is like right now.

So many moms stress about their family photos, but that’s the last thing I want for you. With our preparation beforehand, you’ll feel more comfortable showing up and settling into the moment while we take perfectly beautiful photos. Don’t worry if the kids need a little time to adjust to the camera; I know just how to manage their playful spirits.
I use a simple questionnaire to get a more clear idea of the photos you’re drawn to and locations that might work better than others. I want your photos to feel personalized and spending this time upfront to style your session makes a valuable impact. I’m also happy to offer wardrobe suggestions — neutrals, layers and textures are always recommended.
We’ll compare schedules and choose a time in the coming 1-3 months for your family session. I’ll also send over a contract and invoice to officially reserve your photography services.
...it’ll be faster than making your next cup of coffee. I know time is limited, work calls and you’re needing that second cup of coffee. Fill out my quick contact form and I’ll reply within 48 hours so you can review the photography packages and ask any questions you have.
Receive a gallery of photos that are hand-edited with a clean, classic look. This is where you’ll order your digital images and printed artwork. One day, these will be the images that your kids will show their own children.
I’ve found that families are most comfortable outside — the slight breeze, fall foliage (if it’s that time of year) and space to roam invites a relaxed atmosphere that results in stunning photos. I will usually recommend a location that I know will be perfect for your family and the photos you have in mind. However, if there’s a more sentimental location you have in mind, we can consider that!
Many families want unposed photography, but often rely on some posing guidance to get comfortable in front of the camera. As a result, I use a mix of both documentary and posed photography to take beautiful photos that will capture the personalities of your family.
The golden rule is complimentary, muted colors. Picture soft greens, beige and pastels across the board, as opposed to your entire family in all blue or all white. Avoid bold prints and patterns, and instead opt for softer tones and prints. We can get creative, though, so just ask if you need help and I’ll share feedback from a photographic perspective.

We absolutely love Stephanie and her photography! We have had pictures taken by her yearly for 6 years and counting now. We have 3 young kids and she always does an amazing job interacting with them, getting to look at the camera, and capturing their true personalities. We drive more than 90 minutes to get our pictures taken by her because we love her work so much.

Stephanie is an amazing photographer! We have used her 3 times now for family and newborn photos, and every time she has been professional, friendly, and super easy to work with. She gets so many beautiful photos even when my kids are not being cooperative!

Stephanie is the best! I’ve used her for newborn pics and family sessions and always come away with pictures I love. She somehow manages to get amazing shots even when I don’t think my children are cooperating. She is fast and really great with kids so it makes the sessions enjoyable and why I keep going back to her. I’ve never been disappointed!
If you gravitate towards true to life, warm, light-filled and overall classic photos, let me take care of that for you. Clients come back to me year after year because of that clean style and my calm, familiar approach. I’d love to work with you as well, fostering a relationship with your family as your children grow and your lives evolve.
