FAMILY PORTRAITS
Let’s leave the Awkward Family Photo Shoots in the past.
We’ve all seen those cringy family portraits.
You know, the ones that look like a ragtag crew was wrangled together for an awkward afternoon of strange poses and stiff smiles that end up looking way more like gritted teeth.
Hi, I’m Stephanie Bartz, and I’m here to make sure your family photo experience is the opposite of all that. Think relaxed, fun, and full of genuine moments that you’ll actually want to remember.
Nothing strained, nothing feigned.
I’ve been photographing families (and just about everything else) for decades. I started back in the days of film and haven’t stopped since. Along the way, I’ve learned that the best family photos come from being present, not perfect. I capture your crew just as you are: laughing at inside jokes, being goofy, and loving on each other in your own unique way.
I bring a calm, kind presence and a sense of humor that helps everyone relax—even the camera-shy.
We’ll turn that grimace into an authentic, joyful grin, and transform the Awkward Family Photo Shoot into an enjoyable, memorable event.
