Welcome

I'm Steph, Philadelphia's Natural Newborn Photographer serving young families and expecting Mother's in Bucks County, the Main Line and Philadelphia areas.

These are lifestyle photos, using natural light, guided prompts and natural engagement among the people you love to create modern and unexpected portraits for your family.

My sessions are child-led as we capture the feeling of this time in a natural, organic way.

I get asked often if pets can be included in newborn photos and the answer if always yes.  During our booking process, we talk about your pet’s age, personality and how comfortable they are around the new baby.  

If the introduction between your newborn and your animal has gone smoothly and you feel confident including them in our session, we can bring them into the photographs in a variety of ways.

Including Pets in Newborn Photos at Home

Welcoming a newborn baby and having a toddler to care for is a lot! That is why having your newborn photos taken in your own home is the way to go. No bags to pack, no nap times disrupted, snacks and stuffies on hand.

This Mother was a little unsure of hiring a professional newborn photographer to come to her home, but she was sooooo happy she said yes! This sweet baby has changed so much over the past few months that his newborn photos are now a memory to be relived.

There is a natural magic that unfolds when photographing inside your own home. For newborns, this is where they first travel to, where they rest and eat and cry and look around with wonderment. For new parents, this is where they figure it all out-

Lifestyle Newborn Photography: Family on The Main Line, Philadelphia

People often ask me where my favorite place to photograph is. And the answer is always right here. Right where I am. I get lost behind my camera looking for windows of moments to frame for you and details of your life that might seem ordinary today, but will not be ordinary in a few […]

I welcome all pieces of indoor newborn photography in hopes to give you true-to-life snippets of how this time really was, how this time really felt. I often hear client apprehensions in booking sessions with young children, sharing statements like “my kids would never sit for that”

Newborn Session with a Toddler: Indoor Family Photography Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

When families choose The Motherhood Experience, it gives me the time and space to create a story, a cohesive flow. I want the images to feel connected and feel like they belong with each other. In-home photography is the best way to thread these two chapters together. This is the space where your family grows and lives each day.
