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.
Photographers are a huge part of other milestones in your life- from school pictures, senior portraits, engagements, head shots and weddings, but for many the photographic journey stops there. Why? Why do we invest so much time and money to find our favorite artist to capture photos for our wedding day, but not think to do the same for the birth of our children?
Doulas are trained professionals who provide informational, physical and emotional support to you and your family during the pregnancy, labor and postpartum phases of birth. They work directly with other medical professionals, (i.e. nurses, doctors, midwives) to provide a safe and emotionally supportive environment when bringing a newborn into your world.
Your newborn photos should reflect you. Feeling comfortable and enjoying this experience is what newborn photography should be. As your photographer, I am here to help you feel at ease with our morning and help every step of the way.
Hands down, the best part of your photographer coming to your home in the winter is that you get to stay cozy, warm and relaxed. There is no braving the winter cold with a new baby and no stress of traveling in inclement weather. Grab a tea, relax in bed for a bit longer and let the photographer come to you.
Our goal with natural newborn photography is to have a true representation of this time in your life. For that reason, I encourage most winter newborn Mamas to go the more warm, casual route for their photography session.
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”
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.
