Once you're booked, we'll set up a styling consultation (in-studio or virtual). Choose from the studio wardrobe or your own clothes. This step makes your session day effortless and stress-free. After we finalize your outfit, I'll help coordinate looks for your family to ensure a beautiful and cohesive gallery.

As your full-service newborn and family photographer in Northern Virginia and the DC Metro area, I'm dedicated to serving your family with a stress-free portrait experience and handcrafted heirlooms for your home.
why choose me?
the details
Once I get to learn a little bit more about your family and what you are envisioning for your photo shoot, 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? I'm all ears!
06. where to take your Northern Virginia family photos
Yes! I am so glad you asked! Pets are family. Two things to keep in mind though. First, not every outdoor location allows pets. Second, it is best to bring a friend along to help with the fur baby in between photos and when they aren't in them.
05. Can our fur baby participate?
In a virtual or in person design meeting, we will discuss what you and the rest in your party will wear to the session, what to bring, and anything else you may need to know in order to prepare for big day.
04. How do we prepare for our session?
Absolutely, yes! As your full service family photographer in Northern Virginia, I work with only professional level printers. I offer gorgeous heirloom albums and wall art to be displayed in your home and enjoyed by generations to come.
03. Do you sell print products like wall art and albums?
I start monitoring the weather five days before your session. If the forecast is predicting rain, snow, or severe weather, I reach out to you to see if you'd like to reschedule.
02. What is your inclement weather policy?
The first step is to reach out via my contact page. If I have availability, I will 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.

"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."

"From the moment we met it was very apparent Stephanie has a true passion for photography. I was so impressed with her warmth and attention to detail during our sons newborn shoot.I wasn’t sure at first how I felt about an in home session versus a studio. After meeting with Stephanie and hearing her talk about how she likes to capture real life moments in the home....I knew she would be a perfect fit! She certainly did not disappoint. We adore the sweet pictures that she took. I would definitely recommend Stephanie for all your photography needs."

"Stephanie was such a friendly and talented photographer to work with for our newborn shoot. During the shoot she is relaxed and patient, which is nice and accommodating for a mother of 4 who not only has to stop the shoot to nurse, but also has to take time to wrangle the other kiddos throughout the session. She's genuinely excited about what she does, which you can tell not only by her constant smile, but by her incredible work. She is a true artist who took her time to capture not only special moments of the newborn, but the other members of the family as well."

"Stephanie did our newborn photos, and the entire experience was wonderful! From the very beginning Stephanie works with you to understand how to capture your vision. She’s warm, friendly, professional, and you can tell she loves what she does. The pictures she got of our family, our baby, and even our dog are phenomenal, and her turnaround time was so fast. Once your photos are ready you can look through your gallery to choose which ones to buy, but I don’t know how anyone could choose just a few because they’re all so amazing. We’re so glad we found her! so glad we found her!"

"I started with Stephanie more than 2 years ago for my first pregnancy shoot. I knew from that day she was the perfect photographer for our growing family. She put us all at ease and came equipped with props, gowns and a sense of calmness. Her talent is obvious when you see the pictures. She captures our hearts and souls!"
