Painting with Lisa Grove + Stephanie Gray Photography are teaming up for a Paint & Pose Pop-Up Event 🎨📸
This is a one-of-a-kind experience where your kids (or the whole family!) can:
🎨 Create a fun paint project

💛 Leave with both a keepsake AND beautiful photos
It’s the perfect mix of creativity + memory-making—and we cannot wait to host this together!
 
Hello, I'm Stephanie
 
As a wife and mother of two littles, I know that you want to hold on to every minute, every day, every interaction. You wish you could freeze time so they don’t grow up so fast. You want to explore the world through their eyes, forever.
During a session with me, I strive to capture those magical, in-between, everyday moments that you hold so dearly!
 
What It's Like to Work With Me
 
From the moment you book, I want this to feel easy. You don’t need to worry about stiff poses, perfectly behaved kids, or knowing what to do in front of the camera. My job is to guide you every step of the way — gently, naturally, and in a way that feels like you.
Before your session, I’ll help you prepare so you feel confident walking in. During your session, I’ll give simple direction while leaving space for real moments to unfold — the laughter, the quiet connection, the in-between moments you don’t even realize are happening. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried. There’s room for breaks, movement, and personality. Whether we’re in the studio or at home, the focus is always on connection over perfection.
After your session, you’ll receive a thoughtfully curated gallery filled with images that feel honest, timeless, and true to this season of your life — the kind of photos that don’t just sit on a screen, but are meant to be felt, shared, and printed.
This isn’t about perfect photos.
It’s about remembering how this season felt.
 
Refer a Friend, Get Rewarded
 
The greatest compliment you can give is sharing my name.
When you refer a friend to my studio, I say thank you with studio credit toward your next session.
Here’s how it works:
- Your friend receives $25 off their session
- You receive $50 studio credit
- Credit is applied once their session is booked
- Credits are valid for 6 months
- No limit on referrals
Your people get beautiful photos. You get rewarded for sharing the love.
