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.

New Jersey Portrait Photographer, Steph Spirou
Alyssa- Bergen County mom
Stephanie was an absolute joy to work with! From contacting her to receiving photos, she made the whole process easy and fun. My husband, son and I had a great time while taking the photos and we couldn’t wait to receive them! Our online gallery was delivered quickly and we adored every single photo. Highly recommend!!!
Melissa- waldwick toddler mom
Stephanie is quite literally the best thing since sliced bread. Her set up for mini shoots made things easy as pie with our 8 month old. Her photos were all gorgeous and made it difficult to pick just five. We have already decided to use Stephanie again for our son’s 1st birthday this spring.
Her kind and patient attitude made it easy to get comfortable to take photos. She is professional and is clearly experienced but it felt like hanging out with an old friend. If you pick to work with Stephanie, you are making the right choice- I promise!
Aileen- mom of toddler in bergen county
Steph was amazing to work with! We did a mini shoot with her which was the perfect length of time to capture our little guy and get a few good smiles. The props were adorable and added to the fun! The pictures are so cute! We would definitely work with Steph again!
kelli- toddler mom in bergen county
My family booked a session with Steph at her Holiday Baking scene for our holiday cards. My 2 year old toddler loved the props and set-up and it made his mood perfect with full of smiles for the photos. The final photos came out amazing! We could not have been happier with the product and will now have these life long photos to cherish. Thank you Steph!
kara- mom in waldwick, NJ
10/10 recommend!! Stephanie was so helpful and communicative from the beginning!! She worked with our schedule when it decided to rain for the entire weekend we were supposed to get our photos taken! She helped us coordinated our outfits for everything to look cohesive. The day of our pictures our 14 month old was not having it but Stephanie was so understanding and even used her phone to play some Miss Rachel to get our daughter interested. She quickly adapted to our daughter wanting to do her own thing and still managed to get incredible photos of our family! We got so many compliments on this!
krystle- mom of 2 in Nj
Stephanie did a wonderful job capturing special moments of my little family. The photoshoot was quick (but not rushed) which was very helpful for two young kids. The props were adorable and the pictures came out absolutely stunning! We are so happy to have crossed Stephanie’s path and look forward to having her capturing more special moments of our family. Thank you Stephanie for your time, patience and talent! You are a master of your craft!
erica- now mom in North JErsey
It was a pleasure having Stephanie capture our baby boys newborn photos! She was kind & caring with our little guy & the pictures all came out great! Anyone looking for a newborn photographer should know Stephanie Spirou is a great choice for the job, you will not be disappointed!
donna- mom of 4 in NJ
I found Stephanie through instagram browsing and loved her work! i reached out to her and she was easy to work with from the very start. very responsive to emails and was able to get on her schedule. i did a ton of research and she is very reasonably priced for photographers in the area! i got our sons 1st birthday/smash cake photos taken by Stephanie, and she did not disappoint! She is professional, but was also kind and patient with my son (who was not really cooperating much the day of the photoshoot). we got the edited photos in two days and they were all amazing!! she really captured my son's personality and the milestone moment. i couldn't be happier with the photos. i will definitely be using her again for future family photos/events.

Studio located in Waldwick, NJ
Midland Park is one of those towns that always feels warm and welcoming. It’s full of beautiful neighborhoods, local parks, and small businesses that give it a true sense of community. Whether you’ve lived here forever or just love spending time nearby, it’s the perfect spot for relaxed, easygoing family sessions.
I love how close and convenient it is to everything, with so many quiet corners that photograph beautifully — from tree-lined streets and open fields to cozy in-home sessions that feel personal and meaningful. It’s a town that makes it easy for families to just be themselves, which always leads to the most genuine images.
When I’m in the area, I often stop by Eleven Central or Midland Park Bagels for breakfast before heading to a session. It’s one of those simple routines that reminds me why I love working with local families — everything about this town feels familiar, friendly, and full of heart.
If you're in Midland Park 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.
