The Stephanie Newman Photography Journal
Welcome to our journal, where we share recent sessions, our tips, and bits of our life. When we aren't photographing we're improving our home, hanging out with our kids, and reading. We adore working with joyful seniors and families and can't wait to work with you!
Inspiration for a beautiful life
Margarita and her adorable little family are new clients to me. She reached out to have some family pictures done and to celebrate their little one turning one!

I had the privilege of hanging out with a couple of my 2022 seniors for a cap and gown mini session or college swag mini session. It was fun to hang out them once more before they head off to college in the fall and chat about the next chapter in their lives.

It all started because two people fell in love. Sounds super cheesy and cliche, but hey, it’s true, and I like it.

Spring is here, even though it definitely does NOT feel like it right now. To quote Winnie the Pooh, It’s a rather blustery day out there today.
It wasn’t windy inside the studio the day of my spring mini session. It was a comfy 70 something degrees, with the sun shining through the window {…}

There’s something extra special about capturing moments for families who are not only wonderful clients but also dear friends. That’s exactly how I felt during my recent fall mini session with the Moe family—Jason, Melissa, Grayson, Elijah, Rowan, and the ever-adorable Joah (affectionately known as “Joah Moah”). This sweet, fun-loving crew has been part of our church family for a couple of years, and getting to photograph them is always a treat.

Emily H.’s senior session was one for the books! I’ve had the privilege of photographing several members of her friend group this year, and when it was her turn, I knew we were going to have an amazing time. From her involvement in high school theater, choir, and mock trial, to her love for baseball and dream of becoming a sports agent, Emily is the kind of person who brings passion and energy to everything she does. Her senior session had all the right vibes—fun, unique, and full of personality.

I had the pleasure of photographing Parker, a senior from Farmington High School, during her September senior session in the charming town of Northfield. Parker is hoping to pursue a career in fashion merchandising after graduation, so I knew this session was going to be special—not only did we have to capture her personality and beauty, but we also wanted to bring her dreams and interests to life through the images.

Senior photo sessions are always exciting, but sometimes, a little chaos can make them even more memorable. That was certainly the case for Emily’s session in downtown Northfield. It was the first day of Defeat of Jesse James Days, one of the biggest events in town, and let’s just say I wasn’t fully prepared for the festival vibes to kick off so soon! I had thought the event started the following day, not on the day of Emily’s session. That little mix-up led to an unexpected twist in our plans, but one thing remained constant—Emily’s amazing energy, which kept the session fun and relaxed from start to finish.

Families
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.
