Capturing genuine moments of connection and all the perfect little details

Newborn baby in mother's hands

Parenthood is one of those things in life that you can't even begin to understand until you experience it – an all-encompassing, overwhelming explosion of love (and bewilderment and exhaustion!).

Nothing compares to those special first days when that love is blossoming. You think you'll remember it, you hope you will, but the reality is, all memories fade, and quicker than we think. If only we could bottle it all – the new baby scent, the softness of their skin and hair, the sweet little sounds they make...

Creating beautiful photos in your own sacred space, brimming with love and connection, is the next best thing. Let me capture that impossibly angelic face, those immaculate little details, and the unique connection you share, so they'll never leave your memory.

Hi, I'm Steph.

Photography is a natural calling for me, as I've always been a bit obsessive about holding on to memories. But when I became a mama for the first time, that kicked into the highest gear!

I remember lying awake the night my son turned 2 weeks old, consumed with sadness that already he was 20% bigger than when he was born. So what did I do the next morning? Opened the photos from his first few days of life and reassured myself that while those moments were gone in one sense, they would always be with me.

That's what I want to bottle up and preserve for you – the real moments. Lifestyle photography is about capturing you and your baby just as you are. No elaborate props, unnatural poses, or artificial light. Just this moment, right now, in all its natural beauty.

Take the opportunity to capture these precious moments now, because in the blink of an eye they'll be gone.
