I am SO excited that I can finally share the images from my shoot for The Measure’s Fall 2012 line, “Little Pink Houses”, shot back in March. I also created a behind the scenes video of the shoot which is so fun because you can really see the personalities behind my little models. A huge thanks to stylist Gary Croteau for bringing my vision to life with incredible hair styles. Without further ado………
Meet Ella. Thirteen days old and quite possibly the most alert newborn I have photographed to date! She followed me with her eyes with every move I made…it was really remarkable! This is a great example of an “environmental” newborn shoot that focused less on the posed beanbag shots and more about interaction with family and incorporating home elements as well. Enjoy! xo
and out for a little fresh air…..
steph these are all so pretty and natural. i love how you got great images of her beautiful nursery also. what a lucky baby girl.
omg, these are amazing… the whole bunch of ’em. So sweet… I actually got butterflies in my stomach looking at them…. what a gift you’ve given this mom.
That has to be the most magical and yet serene nursery I have ever seen. What a precious little bundle. <3 I am head over heels for the yawning photo. Beautiful work. :0 )
Simply beautiful!
Such a great newborn shoot. Really captured the essence of life where they are right now. Loving the lifestyle approach to this session. Beautiful!
What a beautiful session! Love the name, too. 🙂
These are my favorite kind of newborn shoots.. so gorgeous. Congrats to this beautiful family 🙂
See? What did I tell you? The bomb. I tell you. Your bebes are the bomb. So beautiful.
This is my beloved granddaughter! The photos are amazing, capturing this lovely child and her loving parents eloquently and naturally. Thank you for creating such beautiful images of Ella and her family.
What a lovely session.
Holy loveliness! As part of the retreat last June (see post below) I had a strong urge to incorporate some bridals. I don’t shoot weddings but am in love with bridal portraits. Abby Bielagus, from Ennis Inc, helped bring our vision of “modern beach bridal” to life. These lovely models from Maggie, Inc. were a joy to work. It was freezing in Cape Cod. June and absolutely fuh-fuh-freezing. Yet being the true professionals that they are, they kept their smizes going! For those who are unfamiliar with the terms “smize”, it means to smile with your eyes. Practice. It really makes a difference! Enjoy! xoxo
It’s so nice when you do a shoot at the beach and you get amazing light…and it just can be so difficult when you don’t. These are FABULOUS. Edited to perfection.
I am totally speechless. These are amazing. And.. I dream of being this beautiful.. they are stunning.
These are just stunning. Some of my faves of all your work. Just incredible!
The mood of this shoot is so incredible! Beyond words!!
GAH! Your work is IIIINNNNCREDIBLE! I seriously can’t get enough.
Beautiful ladies, and excellent photo; but those two with the boardwalk-wings are over the top!! Amazing, Steph!
what?????? seriously??????? and just when I thought you couldn’t possibly be any better. You take amazing portraits!!!!!!!!!!! A-Ma-Zing!
Side note: I NEED that bride’s dress. IS it an actual bridal dress?
Stephanie! You are soooooo talented…….
Okay image 4 just knocked me on the floor!!! How could you have even possibly got more amazing?! You did <3
What gorgeous images!!! So stunning!
We laugh. We kvetch. We seek advice, both personal and work related. We crack jokes and laugh some more. Share ideas, fears, and insecurities. And through it all we have become friends. It’s a safe haven. A place where we feel connected, understood and loved. I am referring to a small group of photographer girlfriends, some whom I’ve met in person and some I only know from online. We created a place in a private FB group where we can “meet” and feel safe to express ourselves, to be girly, to get creative, to laugh, to share frustrations–a place where we really understand one another as we are in the same industry all the while being moms and trying our best to BE the best at it all. Friendships have been forged and I feel so lucky to have met them all. Last year a handful of us met in Cape Cod for a retreat. A time for us to try some new things, flex our creative muscles, talk shop, cook together and just have a good time. Since everyone was coming from out of state, I loaded up my SUV with everything I thought would work for this beach shoot. What’s funny is everything I buy, props and wardrobe, is usually one piece at a time, but then when everything is gathered together, it somehow comes together in a fantastical sort of way. Socks from one day match a random dress I found at Urban Outfitters and a hat from TJ Maxx, or a top from The Measure paired with a vintage camera and old ladder just work beautifully together. It’s fun pretending I am part stylist 😉 These sisters that were our models on day two were nothing short of amazing. So beautiful and so fun to dress. They toughed out the unseasonably brisk June day we had and let us shoot to our hearts’ desire. How lucky they are to have each other as a sister’s bond is like no other. And to my wonderfully talented, strong, smart, funny and fabulous girlfriends–thank you for the sisterhood I feel with you all!
These girls are seriously gorgeous. Every picture is beautiful! Love the setting!
amazing! such great, young models too!

Love the images, the little gorgeous models and your processing of the images. You are a great inspiration.
seriously… you are an incredible artist!
very beautiful pics.
It’s that time of year when the grass is getting long at my favorite fields (insert happy dancing smiley here). I love how it blows in the wind and creates a painterly effect in my images when I shoot wide open. Soon, I will have my very own WILDFLOWER field which I am SO excited about! Hopefully by the end of next month it will be blooming and I can take my clients there as well. This field session was in June of 2011 and I never blogged it. It wasn’t intentional because how could I not want to blog this little cutie? Mom gave me a gentle reminder on Facebook and as promised, he is your little man’s blog post! Enjoy! xo
Oh my! He is all smiles for you! He must be a sucker for a pretty lady… Beautiful as always.
awe…too cute! thanks so much for capturing this very special moment in time! as always, these images are stunning!
LOVE! So sweet and pure.
