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.

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!

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!

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!

Welcome! I am a Waldwick, NJ maternity, newborn, and family photographer specializing in true-to-life portraits meant to last for growing families in North Jersey. My private home studio is located right in town. Families can choose between cozy studio sessions, outdoor, or relaxed in-home lifestyle sessions, all designed to create beautiful images you’ll treasure for years to come. Trusted by Waldwick families for years for stress-free sessions and beautifully styled portraits.
I proudly serve families throughout Northern New Jersey and beyond, including but not limited to Bergen County (Waldwick, Ridgewood, Wyckoff, Allendale, Midland Park, Mahwah, Ramsey, Ho-Ho-Kus, Franklin Lakes, Glen Rock, Paramus) as well as Essex County, Hudson County, Morris County, Passaic County. If you don’t see your town listed, please reach out — I’m happy to travel throughout much of North Jersey and nearby areas to photograph your family.
Contact me below for more information or to book your session.
Waldwick is where I call home, and it’s where my photography journey truly started to take shape. When my husband and I were looking for houses, we knew we wanted to stay in Bergen County for its convenient location, great schools, and how close it keeps us to family. It’s the kind of town that feels both peaceful and connected. I can hop over to Ridgewood, Wyckoff, Ramsey, or Allendale in just a few minutes, which makes it the perfect spot to serve families all across Northern New Jersey.
There’s something special about Waldwick. Maybe it’s the way neighbors always wave when you walk by, or how the whole town shows up for local events and sports games. It’s small enough to feel close-knit but full of energy and heart.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me at Nellie’s Place for pizza and wings (a local favorite) or stopping by Dunkin for my go-to refresher before a shoot. For something sweet, Reinholds Bake Shop or La Vie en Rose Cafe never disappoint—it’s always worth the stop.
Some of my favorite sessions happen right here in town, often in the comfort of my own home. Whether we’re wandering through Borough Park at sunset, capturing little ones running along the trails, or cozying up for an in-home newborn session, Waldwick always provides the perfect backdrop for storytelling. It’s warm, charming, and full of everyday beauty—just like the families I get to photograph here.
If you're in Waldwick and looking for a photographer to capture those beautiful, real-life moments I'd be honored to help tell your story and my in home studio is right in town to make it happen.
