Portrait of lifestyle photographer Yao Zhang holding her camera

I am the passionate storyteller behind the lens. Based in Secaucus, NJ, I work with clients around NJ and NY. I love watching movies and documentaries. In those great ones, each frame is a breathtaking photo. Wandering in museums and exhibitions is also something I enjoy a lot. I believe good photos show the real and emotive moments that speak to the heart. In order to achieve that, I would step back most of the time and let your story shine. My sessions are laid back, so you can feel comfortable and bring your personality out. Different lights, weather, and setting create different moods. I’m happy to photograph you at any time of the day – full sun or golden hour; under different weather conditions – overcast, bright sun, rain, or snow; and at any location you feel comfortable with – a bustling downtown, a beautiful park or simply stay at home. I enjoy them all.

Portrait of lifestyle photographer Cindy Song, of little cindy photography

Hi! I'm Cindy, the girl behind the lens! I'm a New York Family Photographer and based in New York, NY, I work with clients all around New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Capturing love in all its forms is my passion, and I am so excited to share with you more about me and my work! I am a mom of two boys and a fur child. After seven years of dedicating my life to a Big 4 consulting firm, I realized that life was too short to not be doing something I truly enjoyed. I've always loved photography and the idea of being able to capture beauty through my lens. Before becoming a mom, I loved to help my friends take photos for their social media, and after becoming a mom, I became the de facto photographer for my kids and their friends at events like playdates, birthday parties, and holidays. As a mom, I truly felt the urgency of capturing and documenting the moments as a child grew, because these special moments passed all too quickly. Photographs provided a way for me to be able to manifest something tangible with which we can hold on to these fleeting moments. Joyful, carefree and storytelling — these are words often used to describe my photos. However, there’s so much more to a photo than how it looks! The moments and feelings are what I hope to capture. I hope the photographs bring the viewer back to the smells, sounds, and emotions of that memory. My images reveal timeless love and connection with a clean, modern aesthetic. I find beauty in the real and the ideal, and capture them where they meet. My sessions are laid back, allowing me to capture the most genuine and natural moments with your family.

Philadelphia, PA Lifestyle Photographer Colleen Stepanian

I've contemplated long and hard every single day since I've picked up a camera about why I do what I do and what motivates me. I think about what it means to me and about what it means to other people. There are a few reasons, some have changed, some haven't. The few that drives them all are human connection, relationships, and vulnerability. I feel I have a responsibility to photograph present reality for the sake of human history and future nostalgia. It is very easy for me to connect with people, whether it be my clients or a stranger on the street. I love knowing that through my chosen medium I am able to gain new perspectives of this life, one person at a time. I feel honored and blessed to be able to wake up every morning and tell stories through photographs.

Meg Brock is a Philadelphia, PA lifestyle photographer

After graduating from nursing school, I spent two years working in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the prestigious Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Feeling a strong call and desire to help others, in June 2007 I left my job in Philadelphia. I took my first trip across the Atlantic Ocean and spent a year volunteering as a nurse in Monrovia, Liberia, onboard the world's largest non-governmental hospital ship, the Africa Mercy, with the medical charity, Mercy Ships. While in Liberia, I began writing about my experiences for several newspapers and magazines in the Philadelphia area. The editors needed images to illustrate my stories, so I ordered my first DSLR camera and began learning how to use it. I quickly realized the power and significance of an image. A single image could transcend distance, time, and situation, to communicate a thought, feeling, or emotion, that was universally recognized in the human experience.

Mirror selfie portrait of Maryland lifestyle photographer Fleur Gedamke - United States family portraits.

I am a 2020 approved member of the Family Photojournalist Association and the Lifestyle Photographers Association. I work part-time with Bella Baby Photography at a regional hospital capturing the first hours of a baby's life. ​I am originally from Perth, Western Australia. I currently live just outside of Washington D.C. with my husband and two children (and I miss living by the ocean). I have lived in many different places -- that's the short story. In 2015, when my children were finally out of diapers, I took a breath and picked up my husband's Nikon D90 and began, slowly, teaching myself manual photography. I fell in love and dived right in. My day job is development and grant-writing for non-profit organizations. I have married these two professions into Positive Light, a photography service for non-profits to help capture their clients with dignity, in a 'positive light'. I believe family lifestyle photography should be available to everyone, not just those who like to wear coordinated designer outfits and have a lot of wall space. I am always learning and trying to improve my technical skills. I am extremely excited to be taking part in the three-month program Quietly Loud, lead by Felicia Chang and Kristine Nyborg. I use a Nikon D810 and 35mm1.4, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8, and 105mm F2.
