An unguarded laugh.
A surprise hug.
Impromptu dancing.

The best photographs are captured from unguarded and candid moments. With our background in newspaper photojournalism, we are uniquely prepared to capture the emotion you seek in your newborn, children & family portraits, weddings & special events.

Our style is very casual – we do not offer a traditional studio and instead opt for natural light and locations like your backyard, the waterfront, or a local state park. Each session is different and catered to your requests.

When photographing children, we encourage them to play on their own and interact. We recommend scheduling at least 1.5 hours for your portrait sessions to allow your children to become comfortable with us. Letting your children be themselves rather than rigidly sit for photos will produce treasured memories that reflect your child’s unique characteristics and behavior.

Always interact with your children, but let them be themselves, too. If we are shooting a family session, your moments together with your children – playing, giggling, hugging – is the best material to work with.

Natural, carefree, and candid – that is the beauty of true photojournalism and what Stephanie Haller Photography brings to you and your family.
