LIFESTYLE NEWBORN, MATERNITY, AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ALL OF LIFE'S SPECIAL MOMENTS
Beautifully capturing the next chapter of your family's story
The Portrait Experience
The beginning of a new phase of life starts with a + sign on a test. Emotions, growth, tears, and happiness. 32-34 weeks later, you arrive at your maternity session. In the park, in your home, on the beach. Customized to you, your partner and your growing baby bump.
Your newborn then arrives, and I arrive at your home to document your new +1(or 2 or 3). We start in the beautifully put together nursery that you have worked so hard on. Capturing every detail, every portion of the room. We move to your living space, or your bedroom so your photos scream “your life in your space”.
Moments then continue to grow into milestones. 1 year cake smashes, family portraits all year round, holiday cards, and just because sessions. Adding another little one to the family and introducing their siblings. Every moment is so important, so special. It deserves to be captured and preserved forever.
The minute I met Jen and Rob, I knew we'd click. I was lucky enough to photograph Jen's maternity session on the beach with the most beautiful sunset. Then once baby Amelia was born, her and Rob welcomed me into their home for a cozy newborn session. I love watching their big moments!
The Bartoli Family
Brit and Teddy have one of the sweetest love stories. Brit' maternity session was at one of my favorite parks in the state of CT, Harkness Memorial. From the mansion to the gardens and the beach there is nothing more perfect! It is also one of the prettiest wedding venues in CT!
Brit + Teddy
Could these three be any cuter? The outfits, the smiles? Everything about them, I love! If you are a local to Wallingford, CT you'll recognize this beautiful backdrop. Gouveia Vineyard has beautiful grounds and gorgeous sunsets!
The Gokey Family
My favorite way to get your little ones smiling? Kicking off our shoes, running around the beach and dipping our toes in the water! This sweet family dressed perfectly for their session, and had so much fun!
The Garriga Family
Snacks. Non messy, easy snacks that your kiddos can munch on during your session. We typically have moments where we are walking within our location to the next spot. There are great snack/water breaks for the kiddos!
What should I bring to my family session?
Our homes are our safe space, and one of the places we cherish most. There is no "perfect home"! My only recommendation is to declutter the areas we will be using for photos. Other then that, let all the natural light pour in and I will take it from there!
What if my home isnt "Pinterest worthy"?
I do not charge a penalty for weather or illness-related rescheduling. Please do not bring a sick child to your session! On the other hand, do not reschedule if you or your child has acne, scratches or bruises. I can edit those out later.
Can I reschedule my session?
I am based out of Branford, CT but I am up for traveling all of New England and New York!
Where are you located?
Two weeks after your session, you will receive a beautiful digital gallery to your email. You will be able to download, print and share your images!
How long does it take to get my digital gallery?
Soft pastels and light & neutral colors photograph seamlessly with my true to life photography style. Once you confirm your booking, I have a complimentary Style Guide that will guide you through the whole process and help you to coordinate your wardrobe. I want you to cherish your portraits for a lifetime!

Work with Steph
Stephanie was amazing! I found her via a Facebook recommendation and upon viewing her work and reading reviews, I knew she was what I was looking for. From the moment I reached out for family photos she responded in a timely manner and was communicative on her availability and services. Our family session was quick and we moved swiftly between different backdrops. I welcomed and appreciated her direction for particular poses. Payment process was a breeze. I loved how our photos came out and can’t wait until our next session! Highly recommend Stephanie!
" I welcomed and appreciated her direction"
Steph has been photographing our little for almost 2 years now and I cannot say enough good things about our experiences. She is so flexible, fun, and encouraging. We first met during one of her mini sessions where we used it to take maternity pictures and we have continued to use her to capture our family and it’s always been such a pleasure. We just had a session where our toddler wasn’t as cooperative as we would have expected and she got some amazing pictures for us. She was so reassuring and helpful in getting the pictures. It’s been awesome having a photographer that feels like a friend and who is just as excited as we are for our next sessions.
"I can not say enough good things about or experiences"
Stephanie is wonderful to work with! We hired her for a hybrid engagement/family photo shoot and she was such a pleasure to be around. My 6 month old daughter immediately loved her and she made us feel so comfortable. The photos came out beautiful, so much so that we hired her for our wedding coming up this summer. We can’t wait to keep working with her for years to come!
