    kristen duke - Oh, to have snow to photography my clients in! Your work is stunning! I’m a photographer/lifestyle blogger, and I’d love to invite you to be a part of a series I hold in February called Decorating with Pictures. To hear more, respond to this and I’ll give you all the details!

This beautiful mama has been with me with since the very start of my business.  I photographed her daughter’s 6 month photos then her 1st birthday, followed by family shoots, holiday card sessions, the birth of her son, more family sessions, and her third born Lainey Jane’s newborn shoot.  Back in March I spent the morning with the two of them doing what I love so, so much–just mom and baby.  It’s the in between moments that I adore.  The soft touches,  sweet kisses, the gaze between mother and baby…simple, pure, beautiful.

These cold winter months ahead of us are the perfect time to schedule a session for you and your little one.  Call or email if you’d like to book a session.  I look forward to it!!  xoxo

    audra - love.love.love all of it! great job stephanie.

Two boys and then a girl.  A girl.  I can’t help but get a little pang of envy anytime I see that a girl *is* possible after having all boys.  The first thing I say to my clients is, “SOOO,  you’re telling me there IS a chance???”–kind like in this clip. 🙂  However, after a bit of soul searchin’, it won’t be in the cards for us–we’re done trying and we are thankful for our two healthy and beautiful boys.  That being said, I do get my girl fix these days with my 5 month old niece Finley Rose!  She is scrumptious, beautiful, plump and full of smiles.

Onward to the post!  Meet Alice, who (lucky girl) has two big brothers of her own.  She was kind enough to wear one of my vintage dresses that I completely adore.  A baby, a nursery and some morning light is all I need!  If you are thinking of scheduling a baby session or even a mom and baby session I might have a little something special for you on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday so be sure to check back here on the blog and on my Facebook business page!  Stay tuned…and enjoy! xoxo

You know me, I can’t get enough of my mom and baby sessions.  So when I traveled down to Naples, FL to visit one of my besties for her birthday I knew I wanted to photograph a friend and her baby while there.  She is one of the most radiant, positive, and beautiful women I’ve ever met.  We were able to spend a few days together the year prior on a trip to Atlantis.  I’ve never met anyone who smiles and laughs as much as she does.  Her attitude is contagious–you just can’t help but be HAPPY around her!  I knew that light would just exude from her during our session with her little man, and it’s clear that she can’t get enough of him.
