Hi there! My name is Stephanie, and I’m a Bergen County photographer who loves capturing maternity, newborn, family, and cake smash sessions. My work is for parents and families who want something deeper than just “pretty pictures.”

I see the beauty in the chaos: your toddler’s too-tight hugs, the sleepy weight of your newborn on your chest, the unexpected laugh when your baby smashes their first cake. I’ll step in to guide you when you need it, step back when the magic is unfolding, and deliver images that feel natural, effortless, and timeless.

Because one day, these photos won’t just show what your family looked like. They’ll bring you right back to how this season felt.

Studio located in Waldwick, NJ

Franklin Lakes is one of my favorite Bergen County towns to photograph in. It’s full of charm, beautiful neighborhoods, and some truly incredible outdoor locations. Between the wide-open parks, wooded trails, and peaceful lakes, it’s easy to see why so many families love living — and being photographed — here.

G. Thomas Donch Nature Preserve is one of my go-to spots. With its walking paths, scenic water views, and mix of open fields and wooded trails, it’s the perfect setting for relaxed, natural family sessions. The light there is beautiful year-round, and it gives every image that warm, timeless look I love.

After a session, I often stop at Market Basket, Farm & Flour or Pour City Roasters — local favorites that make Franklin Lakes feel like such a welcoming, close-knit community.

 If you're in Franklin Lakes and looking for a photographer to capture those beautiful, real-life moments I'd be honored to help tell your story and you are just a short 15 minute ride away from my in home studio in Waldwick, NJ to make it happen.
