Family PICTURES that preserve the love of your family
Leesburg Photographer
The in-between moments, the personalities, the way you are together
I became a family photographer because the most meaningful images aren't the ones in magazines - they're the ones that live on your walls.
The ones your children grow up seeing every day. The ones they'll one day hold in their hands, asking "Tell me about this moment."
As your Leesburg photographer, my role is to find the real, unfiltered, quietly extraordinary moments inside your family's story and turn them into portraits that deserve a place in your home.
LEESBURG FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY
Portraits Worthy of Every Wall in Your Home
In-Studio Photography in Leesburg, Virginia
In-studio sessions are designed to feel effortless, clean, softly lit, and centered entirely on your family.
From wardrobe coordination to professional hair and makeup for mom, every detail is handled for you. All you have to do is arrive and be together.
My approach is never stiff or overly posed. I guide families gently into the kinds of moments that feel real, the shared laugh, the quiet closeness, the look between partners that says everything without a single word.
LIGHT & INTENTIONAL FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
In-Home or On-Location Family Photography Session in Leesburg, VA

With gentle guidance throughout, your family moves through the session naturally and comfortably.
No awkward posing, no forced expressions, just honest, beautiful portraits of the people you love most, exactly where you belong.

Session Day
This is the part where you put everything else down and just be your family. Leesburg photography sessions are warm, playful, and completely unhurried, guided gently so your kids can be themselves and your most genuine moments have room to unfold. These are the ones worth keeping.
Once you're booked, we'll schedule a styling consultation, in-studio or virtually, your choice. I'll help coordinate looks across your whole family so everyone feels cohesive, comfortable, and completely themselves. Whether we pull from your own wardrobes or my curated client collection, the goal is always effortless.

Frequently Asked Questions
northern virginia family photographer
How do we get on your calendar?
The first step is to reach out using the Contact form. After determining my availability, I’ll invite you to a virtual chat to get all of your questions answered. It's a great way to see if we're the right fit for each other!
What is your inclement weather policy?
I start monitoring the weather five days before your session. If the forecast is predicting rain, snow, or severe weather, I’ll reach out to you to discuss rescheduling options.
DO YOU SELL PRINT PRODUCTS LIKE WALL ART AND ALBUMS?
Absolutely, yes! As your full-service family photographer in Northern Virginia, I believe that life’s greatest gifts – our families – should be appreciated every day, rather than simply occupying space on the cloud. I’ve built relationships with high-quality, professional printers who share my mission to create treasured, heirloom-quality artwork for you to enjoy in your home, all while preserving your memories for generations to come.
Can our fur baby participate?
Yes! To me, pets are family, but please know that not every outdoor location allows pets. In addition, I recommend bringing along a friend on the day of your session to help care for your pet in between photos.
How do we prepare for our session?
In a virtual or in-person styling consultation, we will discuss what you and your family will wear to the session, what to bring, and anything else you may need to know in order to prepare for the big day.
where should we take our Leesburg family photos?
Once I get to learn a little bit more about your family and what you are envisioning for your session, I can make recommendations accordingly. Do you like the idea of a water feature, woods, or wide open fields? Or perhaps you are envisioning a session in the comfort of your home? We’ll discuss all of your options during your pre-consultation.
Stephanie's work product, turnaround time, and production value is phenomenal
"Let's say the important part up front - Stephanie's work product, turnaround time, and production value is phenomenal. She's personable, honest, warm, and excellent with her clients and subject matters.She makes sure to work with the client to identify what you want, what you expect, and what she offers and then you decide on the relationship from there. That's exactly what you should want - she's not running a fast food restaurant where you look at a menu and say "I want this." The end-product is exactly what you want.I'd recommend Stephanie in a heartbeat."
