Why the Move? New Beginnings in Connecticut

Life has been a whirlwind lately. As a new mom of two—yes, two! (cue the coffee and chaos)—my family and I recently made the leap to Stratford, Connecticut. New home, new vibes, and a fresh opportunity to expand my business to a whole new area. Fairfield County, with its gorgeous parks, coastal charm, and bustling communities, feels like the perfect place to bring my candid, documentary-style photography to even more amazing families and events.

But here’s the kicker: I’m not leaving my NYC roots behind. As your go-to NY and CT portrait and event documentary photographer, I’m keeping one foot firmly planted in the New York Metro Area. So, whether you’re in Brooklyn or Bridgeport, I’ve got you covered.

What Services Do I Offer?

My heart is in candid lifestyle photography, capturing those real, unscripted moments that tell your family’s unique story. But I also offer a variety of services to celebrate all of life’s milestones. all you have to do is bring the moments, and I’ll bring the magic. Here’s a quick snapshot of what I’m all about:

Family Photography: From giggly toddlers to sassy teens, I’ll document your crew’s unique dynamic.
Event Photography: Baby showers, birthday parties, baptisms, and sweet sixteens—let’s make those memories unforgettable.
Outdoor Sessions: Fairfield’s scenic backdrops? Yes, please.
Travel Sessions: Dreaming of a shoot beyond NY and CT? Let’s chat—I’m always up for an adventure.

Kid-Friendly? Oh, Absolutely.

As a mom of two wild and wonderful kiddos, I get it. I understand the chaos, the tantrums, and the moments of pure joy that make it all worth it. That’s why I pride myself on being super kid-friendly. You don’t have to stress about getting your little ones to “sit still” for a picture—I’m here to capture the real stuff: the giggles, the hugs, and even the occasional cookie-bribe negotiations.

A Little Story: My First Fairfield Session

Let me set the scene: a sunny afternoon at a Fairfield County park, with a family of four which included the silliest fresh new double digit kid. He’s too cool to be doing cute poses… embrace it! Let him go absolute ham, maybe he can show us the newest Tik Tok dance! The parents? Beaming. As we wandered through the trails, snapping candid moments, I realized just how special it is to capture the essence of a family in a new setting and embracing . This is why I do what I do.

Why Choose Milli Stephania Photo?

Here’s the deal: When you book with me, you’re not just getting a photographer. You’re getting a memory hoarder who sees the beauty in the everyday. I’ll make sure you feel at ease, have a laugh, and maybe even forget there’s a camera involved. My style is bold, vibrant, and true to color because I believe life’s moments deserve to be remembered just as they are.

The Magic of Now: Why I’m Finally Offering Lifestyle Candid Sessions

You know those moments when your toddler’s giggle fills the room, or the way your partner looks at you during a quiet family moment? Those tiny, fleeting moments are what I live for—the little slices of life that make everything else fade away. And guess what? I’m finally offering a photography session designed to capture exactly that. Welcome to “The Magic of Now” sessions.

For years, I’ve dreamed of creating a space for families to feel seen—for their love, their quirks, their everything. My heart has always been drawn to the emotion behind the lens: the belly laughs, the messy hair, the quiet hugs, and even the occasional tantrum that somehow turns into a giggle-fest. These moments are real, and they’re beautiful. That’s the magic of what I do.

What Makes These Sessions Special?

“The Magic of Now” isn’t about posing or perfection. It’s about stepping into your world and capturing life as it happens. I’ll spend a portion of the day with your family, whether it’s in the cozy comfort of your home or your backyard sanctuary. I’ll be a fly on the wall, quietly snapping away as you go about your day—playing, laughing, cuddling, and just being. My goal? To freeze those fleeting moments so you can hold onto them forever.

Imagine starting the morning with pancake-making chaos in the kitchen, playing with the kids on the floor, or snuggling on the couch with a book. These are the moments that make up your story—the kind that don’t need words, just a photograph to bring them rushing back.

How It Works

I’ll join you for a relaxed 3-4 hours, blending into your family’s routine. No pressure, no “perfect” poses. Just you, living your beautiful, messy, love-filled life. I’ll help guide you if needed, but mostly, I’ll be there to capture the magic as it unfolds naturally.

At the end of our time together, you’ll receive a gallery of images that tell the story of your family’s unique love. These are photos that will make you laugh, cry, and remember exactly how it felt to be in this moment in time.

Ready to Capture Your Magic?

I’m now booking “The Magic of Now” sessions in Fairfield and New Haven County, Connecticut. Let’s document your family’s love in the most authentic way possible. Spots are limited, so don’t wait—let’s make some magic together!
