Children’s photography
that celebrates the
magic and stories of childhood
Book Your Session
Serving the Milwaukee, WI area
the days are long,
but the years are short...
Welcome
Hi, I’m Stefanie. I’m a mom, and I know how quickly childhood shifts. The routines. The rituals. The small, in-between moments you assume you’ll always remember.
Some days feel endless. And somehow, the years still pass in a blink.
One day you realize the princess dresses are folded away. The superhero capes don’t fit anymore. The gap-tooth smiles you loved have changed.
I photograph children for families in the Milwaukee area who want more than a quick snapshot. I’m here to help you hold onto this chapter, preserving the magic of who your child is right now through intentional, storytelling portraits,
before it quietly fades away.
"I honestly don’t have the words for how much these photos mean to me. Stefanie didn’t just take beautiful portraits, she saw my daughter. The way she giggles with her whole body, the quiet moments when she’s deep in thought… it’s all there."
-Lori B.
"These aren’t just pictures...they’re art I’ll cherish forever!"
-Emily K.
"Stefanie was amazing to work with, the kids had so much fun! The pictures were such a wonderful piece of art! I can't thank her enough for such
an amazing gift that will live on in our home forever!"
-Jennifer S.
"I wasn't expecting to have so much fun...my daughter felt so beautiful!
We are so excited to have her picture hanging in our entryway to greet us every time we walk in the door!"
-Christina B.
"I was worried the kids would act up, but Stef gave them some "Would you Rather" questions, and they got caught up in the questions; time flew by and we have the most beautiful images that now live on our walls!"
-Andrea D.

We’ll start with a quick call to get to know each other and make sure we’re a great fit. Once you reserve your session with the session fee, I’ll begin thoughtfully planning your portraits. Everything is designed around your child’s personality, what you love most about this season, and the story you want these images to tell.
Now for the best part. Seeing your story come to life. We’ll meet for a personalized reveal session where you can view your images, select your favorites, and decide how you’d love to enjoy them. I create heirloom artwork for your walls, designed to be
seen and loved every day.
Sit back and relax. This is your chance to simply be present with your family while I take care of the rest. I’ll guide the session with care, creating a space where real moments and beautiful memories unfold naturally. Everything is captured with intention and crafted with love.
