I know newborns have their own rhythm and needs, so I always take a baby-led approach during my studio sessions. I never rush or try to force your baby into uncomfortable poses. Instead, I follow their natural cues—whether they’re sleepy, alert, or ready for a feeding. This helps me capture peaceful, authentic moments that fit your baby’s personality perfectly. The goal is to create gentle, beautiful photos while keeping your little one happy and calm.
Family photos mean so much to me—they’re a way to hold onto those precious memories forever. Whether it’s your first family portrait, a special milestone, or just a fun way to celebrate your togetherness, I’m here to help you feel comfortable and enjoy the moment. At Sleepy Hollow Country Club, I love creating portraits that show the love and unique bond your family shares.
At Stelmah Photo, we offer a full-service luxury newborn session at our Westchester portrait studio that is designed to provide you with the most stress-free and enjoyable experience possible. We understand that the first few weeks with your new baby are a precious time, and we want to capture all of the special moments for you.
When I got my positive pregnancy test last August, I was ecstatic -- and somewhat shocked. My husband and I had just given up on our plans for a second baby after unsuccessfully trying for a year. I couldn’t believe the little plus sign, which seemed to materialize out of nowhere just when we’d become convinced it wasn’t meant to be.
As I am preparing for the re-opening of my photography studio, I am really excited but admittedly a little nervous too!
