I am a Connecticut family photographer based out of Harwinton. I believe in capturing the real, unfiltered moments that make your family unique. Family photo sessions are more than just a series of snapshots, they’re an experience filled with laughter, love, and genuine connections. I have worked with tons of toddlers, in all sorts of moods and have three children of my own. They have been great at giving me a range of challenges to work through.
The experience is just as important as the photos themselves. The memories you create during the session will be forever tied to the images we captured. My main goal is to ensure that everyone has a good time together, creating lasting memories that will bring smiles for years to come.

about ME
My name is Steph and I got started taking photos of my kids, well actually my ducks. If you know me, you know they were like my first kids. Now I have three beautiful (human) children who have to endure the endless photoshoots.
My husband and I have been together for over 10 years and have three children together. I serve full time as a Soldier and spent 7 years as a graphic designer, social media manager and marketing professional for the Army National Guard. Now I am a recruiter who helps young men and women follow their dream of serving.
Photography for me is not only a creative outlet, but it fulfills my soul to capture these fleeting moments in time.. So, get ready for a family photo session that feels natural and captures what makes your family special.
It all started with ducks.

Why should I book?
If you're anything like me, I don't have the time or the patience to convince my kids or husband to spend an hour taking photos. Mini sessions are just enough time to capture all those must have photos and avoid the meltdowns.
