About
Hi there! I’m Stephanie, a Lakeville senior and family portrait photographer.
hi friend!
If you're new, welcome!! *big hugs* I'm a portrait photographer for high school seniors, families, and couples serving Lakeville and the Twin Cities area. You can count on me to be your go-to reading buddy, coffee date, s'more making, taco eating, new bestie!
My favorite thing about photography is capturing the season of life you are in. Whether it's being a new parent, a seasoned parent of teens and adult children, or a teen yourself ready to head out into the big wide world. Let's freeze these moments together because they are short-lived.
I miss out on outings with friends and family while I photographed family and seniors in the evenings, I wouldn't change it for the world. I am so grateful for those cleints and friends in the beginning who encouraged and trusted me to capture these precious moments. It has led me to where I am now, and for that I am forever grateful. My mission is to provide you with timeless imagery of your loved ones without the feeling the need to be the perfect instagram person. You are beautiful and exactly who you should be.
Meet the fam!
Matt and I have been together for almost 20 years. CRAZY! We've only been married for 17 of those years. I am so blessed to have someone like him, who grounds me when I have crazy ideas or when I'm being too loud. He is the tech person behind SNP and my sounding board for when I'm verbally processing ideas for SNP.
We have 3 very energetic, silly, and smart boys whose age range goes from a high schooler all the way down to elementary age - side fun fact, they are all 4 years and 4 months apart...definitely not planned. In addition to being a small business owner, I have been homeschooling my boys for going on 13 years now.
Lily is our newest member of the Newman fam! She was born on January 31, 2023, and came home with us on Easter Sunday of 2023. She is a English Springer Spaniel - German Shorthair mix. She is wild and crazy, just like her hoomans. LOVES going for walks, finding big sticks to chew on, and when her sissy, Tillie comes to play.
