your only job is to enjoy it.

Family photos on vacation shouldn't feel like another thing on your to-do-list. My beach sessions are relaxed, easygoing, and designed to let your family simply enjoy being together while I capture it all.

from outfits to sunset, I've got you.

Once you're booked, I'll help you prepare for your session from start to finish. Wondering what everyone should wear? Send me what you're considering and I'll help coordinate outfits for the whole family. I'll guide you through the best time and location for your session.

Once we're on the beach I'll take it from there. I'll keep things moving give you plenty of direction, and let the kids be kids. Some of my favorite images happen in those in-between moments- the laughs, movement, snuggles and little pieces of your family that just feel like you.

 


come as you are, I'll handle the rest


We'll keep things relaxed and fun. I'll guide your family from begging to the end.. We'll get the photographs everyone wants looking at the camera, but well also make room for movement, laughter, connection and all the little moments that actually feel like your family. And YES, I'l always make sure Mom and Dad get a photograph together, too!

We did a family photo session with Stephanie and absolutely loved the experience! She is so welcoming and friendly. She was very patient and flexible with our energetic toddler, and got her to smile while also capturing her personality in every photo! The photos are beautiful and such a wonderful memory for us. Highly recommend booking a session with Stephanie!!

Our family photo season on the beach with Stephanie was great! She kept our 2 year old as happy as a 2 year old near bedtime on a beach can possibly be, and she got some amazing shots of all of us! I just got her beautiful pictures back and I am thrilled with the outcome. Stephanie is a professional, a talented artist, and knows how to get the kids involved! Thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie made our family photo session at the beach so fun and effortless! Not only is she a gifted photographer, but she also has the gift of putting everyone at ease in order to get the best results. Being a mom herself, she knew all the tricks to get my two-year-old granddaughter to cooperate and most importantly smile! We are so happy with the beautiful pictures she took, and the memories that were captured. Thanks Stephanie!
