Toggle“Hold on to the tiny moments and cherish the little things. They grow up so fast.”
The journey to holding a newborn in your arms is a life-changing experience, and it’s true, mama, what they say about babies changing in the blink of an eye! As your Fairfax VA newborn photographer, let me help you preserve these newborn days and honor this sweet little person’s treasured place in your family.
My in-studio newborn photography experience allows you to focus on the incredible love that bonds you and your baby, not the details of planning a portrait session. Time is fleeting enough when you’re parenting a newborn, which is why you can trust me to care for everything, from professional hair and makeup and wardrobe selections for mom and baby (up to 18 months), to meaningful ways to preserve your images in your home for generations.
From the ample natural light to the delicate, timeless props I provide for your baby, my home studio in Leesburg, Virginia, offers a truly relaxed and timeless portrait experience. All you need to do is simply arrive at the studio with your baby; I’ll care for everything else.
in-studio
Similar to my in-studio newborn sessions, you’re treated to a full-service experience in the comfort of your home. An in-home photography session is ideal for you if you desire those first, fleeting moments with your newborn to be captured in the spaces that shape your family’s story, from your living room, master bedroom, and nursery to even your backyard.
In-home newborn clients love the option of including their fur babies in these Fairfax VA newborn photography sessions. In addition, while most in-home photographers offer lifestyle photography only, I blend both posed and lifestyle photography as I capture your first family portraits, as well as a variety of sweet, womb-like poses and breathtaking detail shots of your baby’s features, all in a setting that is uniquely yours.

“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.”
