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.
Relax and play in your own space by hiring a family photographer who comes to your house. You can sleep in and feed the babies, while waiting to have your photos at home. There are a few things to take into consideration when finding a photographer. First, do you like them? No, seriously. Do you […]
There is one place and one place only that is the backdrop for newborn photography and that’s newborn photos at home. Not only is home where the real work happens, but it creates a keepsake for your family. To look back at photos taken in your own nursery or on your parent’s bed is food […]
These sessions work together to tell your story- from belly bumps to holding newborns, a photographer can use your home in a way to create a story that unfolds easily from maternity to newborn.
These images were taken in two rooms and two rooms only. I could have done the entire session on the couch. There was so much fun, laughter and young energy here! So many little games and stories to tell and kisses to give. Soon this family of three will be a family of four and this time together will be a chapter in the books.
I have a few behind the scene videos of how an at home newborn session works- I try to arrive at your home when you are feeding your new baby which gives me sometime to find some pockets of light, warm up a few spaces with my travel space heater, move a chair or kitchen table to get the best lighting and get set up for our time together. Your home is not on display! And no, you do not have to be an interior decorator to have photographs done in your own home. All of the images you see on my website, my instagram, my blogs, are all taken in hallways, kitchens, guest bedrooms, laundry rooms. That is MY job! You get to relax, feed your baby, snuggle and play with your children while I find the moments that make for beautiful photos of your life.
I will always tell my Mamas to get these kids so pumped and excited to see me. I want to be your friend and someone they can play with and look forward to meeting. Though I do think it is important to share that I will be bringing a camera and taking photographs, I do […]
As a Family and Newborn photographer, I work in so many different homes with so many different parenting and communication styles, but the underlying tone of my voice as a photographer is patient, creative and fun. With that being said, having parents on board for letting the session unfold organically is super important. To be present and flowy is the best way to engage with young children in a professional photographic setting.
My commitment to only photographing newborns in their own space, at their own pace, fuels my why. It is important to me as a natural newborn photographer to be in the actual space where you live and raise your baby to give you a unique, true-to-you representation of this time in your life. Though the session below stole my heart with their family and maternity session, the newborn photos are the most personal- a glimpse behind the curtain into the home her father renovated and the room her mother designed for her arrival.
To showcase these three sessions, an album was hand crafted to have a tangible gift to hold and look at. Her first year here Earth side, photographed from inside the womb, to kicking in the crib and finally eating her toes by the bay.
So here we are, post pregnancy, post birth and we have this quickly growing baby who is changing everyday. You are feeding, bonding, playing, teaching, bathing and sleeping with your child, day in and day out, and before you know it they are off to kindergarten and you are left wondering where all the time has gone… how this is even possible. First birthdays and family sessions are the perfect way to:
Show growth, personality and tell the story.
GET. IN. THE. PHOTOS!!!!
So many of us are busy documenting life around us, we rarely get in the moments (aside from the selfie if we are feeling put together that day). But how often are you engaging with your children, enjoying your time as a Mom, with your children? Some of my favorite images from my childhood are of myself grabbing my Mother’s sunglasses off her face or seeing the way she looked over at me when I was being sooooo cute. Family photography over the years will give you a collection of moments and feelings from this time in your child’s life that the
