Thank you so much for reaching out!

What to Expect
Your Photographs
For all of my photography sessions, my goal is to capture the true personality of your family, so that I can provide lasting memories and moments for your family to treasure for years to come. I will capture posed photographs as well as candid shots, so that you will receive a wide variety of pictures in your collection. I will connect with you upon booking to help me learn a little more about your family and if you have any specific needs for your images.
My approach for creating genuine emotion is to keep our time together natural, laidback, and fun. I strive to create real laughter, real adventure, and real displays of affection. The result? A collection of photographs that will be authentic, natural, and true to your family’s unique personality and story!
You will receive your high resolution, professional custom edited images via a downloadable online gallery within 2-3 weeks of our session.
Styling
Styling is a very important part of our session together! All clients will have access to an exclusive styling service to make choosing outfits for your family seamless and fun. Style and Select is an online tool that can be used from the comfort of your home. You answer a few questions that ask your preferred colors and style for your family, and from there you will be shown stylist approved pieces for everyone in your family in a variety of price points. You will also be given links to easily purchase the clothing that you wish! You can play around with this tool until you have found the perfect outfits. I will also be sending you personalized wardrobe advice and styling info in your welcome guide, as well as shops that I can recommend for beautiful clothing for the whole family in a variety of price points. Of course, I am available via email, phone, and text, with any questions.
Locations
I have curated a list of preferred locations that I recommend shooting in with optimal lighting and gorgeous landscapes for a truly memorable photography experience! These locations encompass a wide range of natural settings- including parks, lakes, mountains, and wildflower fields. If you have a location in mind, I’d love to work with you. All locations beyond a 20 mile radius from Red Hook, NY, 12571, will be subject to travel fees.
Newborn sessions will take place either in hospital, or at your home
After your Session: Printing
If you would like to purchase fine art prints, canvas, or heirloom albums, you can order directly through me. I will provide all of that information upon delivering your gallery. I use a high quality professional lab that renders exquisite colors and uses archival grade materials, so you can be sure your investment is protected for years to come.
Investment Guide
I am proud to offer an all-inclusive photography experience. All collections include:
High resolution, professional custom edited images with printing rights. Your photos are yours to keep and there is no obligation to purchase prints or other print materials (only if you want to!)
I am an “all inclusive” photographer, meaning I deliver all edited images to your gallery. I do not make you pick and choose your photographs. I believe every image is a beautiful part of your unique story.
Access to the exclusive online styling service, Style and Select: A personalized tool that makes choosing outfits for your family seamless and fun. To learn more about this service, see the “Styling” section of this guide.
A customized experience. I send all of my clients a questionnaire that I developed to help me better get to know you, your family, and your preferences for your photos, so that I can capture the true essence of your family.
Our relationship starts when you book your session with me. I want the process to be as fun and stress free as possible, so I am always available via email, phone, or text with any questions!

Legacy: A Remembrance Collection
*Customizable- please contact directly for investment information
This is a special collection in which I offer photography that will document moments that can be emotional and raw, yet incredibly meaningful. My nursing background has connected me to sickness and end of life situations, and I understand the gravity of these moments. If you would like photographs as a keepsake of a loved one who may be ill or confined to the comfort of their home, please reach out so we can discuss together a way to create beautiful lasting photographs to remember a legacy you don’t want to forget. The location and subject matter are flexible here and can encompass a variety of situations.
"Stephanie was an absolute joy to work with and does such beautiful work. Her method is so personal and comfortable, and her style is so artistic. She has an incredible eye and made the entire process so much fun. We are so lucky she documented our bump to birth journey! Highly recommend." - E.K.
"To me, photography is an art of observation. It is about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I've found it has little to do with the things you see, and everything to do with the way you see them."
- Elliot Erwitt
