Hi there!  I’m Stephanie, an award-winning photographer of all things beautiful located in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex! I’ve loved playing with children ever since I can remember! I was a dance teacher for many years focusing on younger kids and tweens. I studied Dance at the University of Texas at Austin and I love incorporating movement into photos of children (because let’s face it, what child is ever still?). 

I believe all families are beautiful and everyone has their own special story to tell. Take a look around. I hope my images inspire you.

We have now done three different sessions with Stephanie and she is the absolute best! We have done a family shoot, a pumpkin patch shoot, and a cake smash shoot with her and each time she has produced the best photos of our family!! Stephanie is easy to work with, fast with her responses when I had questions, and sets up the most adorable scenes for my children. We highly recommend Stephanie!

I’ve been using Stephanie since my daughter was 6 months old. She’s 4 now. In between I’ve used other photographers that are closer to home simply because of convenience but they simply don’t measure up. I always find myself going back to Stephanie and driving the distance to see her. She’s so upbeat and super talented! We love her and look forward to seeing our latest pics!

Literally the best kids photographer on the planet. Dahlias and Daisies takes the stress out of kids photography. I don’t have to worry about a thing with them. Outfits? She’s got them. Props? Planned. Backdrops? Check. PATIENCE FOR MY KIDDOS? Priceless. She thinks of everything. The most phenomenal, creative products that are incomparable to anyone out there. Cling to this photographer and don’t let go. She will capture the memories you never knew you had for your children and you both.

I am in love with my newborn photos! Stephanie was very welcoming & handled my son with care. She is an absolute professional. She had a huge variety of outfits, accessories, backgrounds & props to chose from. I really appreciated how she took her time with our photo session & made sure our son was comfortable the whole time. I would totally recommend her for your child’s professional photography.

FAQ

When should I book my newborn photography session?
Most families book their newborn photography session during the second trimester to reserve a spot around their baby’s due date. Newborn portraits are typically photographed within the first 5–14 days after birth when babies are still sleepy and naturally curl into those adorable poses.

Where is your photography studio located?
Dahlias and Daisies Photography is located in the Dallas area and serves families throughout Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Richardson, McKinney, and the surrounding DFW communities.  My studio is location in McKinney, Texas inside the McKinney Cotton Mill.

What should my baby wear for newborn photos?
Most newborn portraits are photographed using soft wraps, textured fabrics, and delicate outfits provided by the studio. Parents are welcome to bring sentimental items, but everything needed for a beautiful newborn session is available.

What age is best for a cake smash photoshoot?
Cake smash sessions are typically scheduled when babies are between 11 and 12 months old so families have photos ready for their child’s first birthday celebration.

Do you photograph siblings and family during newborn sessions?
Absolutely. Many families love including siblings and parents in newborn portraits. These images create beautiful keepsakes that document the very beginning of your baby’s story.  Parent and sibling photos are done on different days than the newborn shoot so we can focus on the newborn during their shoot. 

What makes Dahlias and Daisies Photography unique?
Dahlias and Daisies Photography is known for imaginative styling, couture children’s wardrobe pieces, and carefully designed sets that create storybook-style portraits for babies and children. My background in dance inspires a beautiful movement quality in my images!

Do you photograph pageant headshots?
Yes! Dahlias and Daisies offers pageant photography sessions for contestants preparing for local, state, and national competitions. These sessions focus on confident headshots and editorial-style portraits perfect for pageant portfolios and media appearances.  I also offer crown and sash photos and social media content templates.

Do you photograph families outdoors?
Yes. While many sessions take place in the studio, outdoor family sessions are also available throughout the Dallas area at beautiful local locations.  Once you have booked your session I will send my gorgeous location guide over so you can pick the location that speaks to you most!
