The Stephanie Newman Photography Journal

Ben’s senior session was thoughtful, creative, and full of personality. From conversations about theater and Doctor Who to a unique zoo photo experience, his Class of 2026 portraits were truly one of a kind.

Kellen’s senior session was the perfect way to wrap up September. As the younger brother of a past senior client, photographing him felt especially meaningful and highlighted the joy of capturing milestone moments for families.

Jacob’s senior session in Northfield was relaxed, fun, and filled with beautiful golden-hour light. From photographing his sister earlier this year to capturing his Class of 2026 portraits, this session was such a joy from start to finish.

Alicia’s senior session at Whitetail Woods was filled with summer glow, laughter, and personality. From her pink dress and a little tinsel in her hair to chatting about rugby and exploring beautiful backdrops, her Class of 2026 portraits were such a joy to capture.

Carys crushed her Lakeville senior session with sunshine, flowers, and theater-star energy! Hanging out with her, her family, and capturing her personality near the Guthrie made her Class of 2026 photos pure magic.

Mason’s Lakeville senior session was full of personality and creativity! From his grandparents’ classic Chevelle and his pup Kaiser to bowling team gear, a perfect game trophy, and rugged shots on a dirt road with his grandpa’s RZR, Mason’s Class of 2026 photos are truly unforgettable.

Jaden’s session at Whitetail Woods started off not so great. He and his mom got lost on the way to the park, and got his car, that he wanted in pictures, full of dirt. But that didn’t sour his attitude for the session, which was good because I would have been so flustered and angry!

I just knew that Haley and I were going to hit it off at her senior session at Whitetail Woods, when she showed up with her Ravenclaw Wand and purple lightsaber. #nerdsforlife
