We have been fans of Stefanie's work for well over a decade before we finally became clients. When my husband and I were expecting our first child in 2020 we wanted to do our maternity shoot with Stefanie and I reached out to her to book the session right away. Unfortunately I miscarried and we no longer needed the session. Stefanie was very sympathetic to our tragedy and over the years I would continue to admire her work wishing someday I could be a client. Fast forward to 2022, we were expecting our rainbow baby and I wanted to book a maternity session but due to our past experience I wanted to wait until later to even think of booking. My husband and I decided that we would book a newborn session instead. We kept the pregnancy pretty private so when I reached out to Stefanie during my 2nd trimester which is what she advised on her site so that she could plan and schedule the newborn session according, she was overjoyed with the news of our newborn baby and sent many congratulations our way. Once we had our rainbow baby, I followed up with Stefanie and we set up the session. She gave clear and concise instructions on how to prepare our newborn so that we would have the best session possible. We wanted to include our dog and Stefanie even had tips and tricks to prep our pooch as well. On the day of the shoot everything was set up in the studio so nicely. She even had refreshments and snacks! The ambiance was so warm, so welcoming, calm and relaxed. Our sweet girl slept most of the shoot as anticipated and when she did wake Stefanie was able to soothe her and put her back to sleep so effortlessly. The way that she shaped our baby and put her in positions was so effortlessly - truly a skill and pure art! She even taught us how to properly swaddle so that our bub would sleep well moving forward (THANK YOU! Such a big help during those newborn nights!) She has so many gorgeous fabrics, baskets, bows and other props for the babies. It is every girl mom's dream! The photoshoot experience went beyond my dreams and expectations. Our little love and our puppy did so well. We were able to order our photos and some pieces to display in our home. I am obsessed with the coffee table book and the metal print. We even ordered some of the digital prints so that we can use for cards and other purposes later. Stefanie captured our sweet baby, puppy, my husband and I perfectly and we will cherish these images forever! Thank you for guiding us through this process and capturing these priceless memories! We look forward to more family sessions with you! read more
