As a mom I know how much your children grow faster than you can imagine. I also know that your time is precious. I promise your photo experience with me will be frustration-free.
I fell in love with taking pictures when my oldest was just a baby and would document all the little moments of him growing up. I turned my hobby into a full time job and I wouldn't change it for the world.
I send out just a few emails annually and will never share your email address.
Join the mailing list and be the first to know when my booking calendar goes live, and about limited edition autumn mini cap & gown sessions, :)
Stephanie Newman is a Senior and Family portrait photographer based out of Lakeville, Minnesota. Specializing in joyful and bright imagery.
