welcome
Hey there! My name is Stevie and I am so glad you're visiting my little corner of the internet!
Family Photographer
I’m a newborn, child, and family photographer living in Orange County, California. I opened my business roughly 10 years ago and I have never looked back.
I capture natural moments every mom wants to remember. It is the emotional connection of the family, real and raw. Tender, Enduring, and Everlasting captured forever.
Family Photoshoot
styling for your session
relax and enjoy the moment — we got this!
We have some exciting news here at Stevie Cruz photography.
One of the most stressful things about family sessions I hear is figuring out what to have your family wear for the pictures. Well now you don’t need to worry any longer,
Stevie Cruz Photography will now be adding personal styling
for clients, that schedule a family session.
I know how time consuming putting together the entire family’s wardrobe can be for a family session. I have hired a stylist to take the stress off of you, you will now be able to relax and let her do all the shopping for you.
How will the styling work? That’s the easy part — we will send you a questionnaire so my stylist can get to know you and your family a bit better. You will be able to provide your like, dislikes, budget, and style you are trying to achieve. From there she will get to work on your style board with all the links to your wardrobe. It’s that easy!

These outdoor maternity portraits preserve more than a season. They hold the love, anticipation, and sweetness of these final days together before a new little one arrives.

There is something so tender about photographing a mother with her toddler during pregnancy—the quiet cuddles, little hands resting on her growing belly, and the beautiful connection before their family changes once again.

The light does most of the talking in this one.
We chase it on purpose. That window where everything goes soft and a little gold, and every face looks like it`s remembering something good.
It only lasts a few minutes. We make sure we`re there for it.

There`s a version of "getting the shot" that feels like work, and a version that feels like this. Everyone just being where they already wanted to be.
No one`s holding a pose. No one`s being told where to look. It`s the in-between moments, caught on purpose.
That`s the whole approach: show up, get comfortable, let the rest happen.

Some families pose. This one just leaned in.
That`s the difference between a photo you like and one you keep forever. The second your people forget the camera`s there.
We build sessions around getting to that point fast.

The ones where nobody`s looking at the camera? Those are usually the ones families print.
Candid. Unguarded. Real.
Family sessions with us mean you get both. The guided moments and the ones where we just step back and let life happen. The styling`s handled. The location`s locked. You`re just... present.
If you`ve been thinking about it, this might be your season.

Golden hour does something different when you have a whole family laughing together in it.
No pretense. No rush. Just the kind of natural light and natural moments that remind you why you wanted these photos in the first place.
These days don`t come around twice.

There`s a kind of calm that happens when you`re not worried about what to wear. When someone`s already handled that for you.
Our families tell us the styling add-on changes the whole vibe. No second-guessing, no last-minute outfit swaps. Just confidence and ease.
And that ease? It shows up in every frame.
