STEVEE ELCHNYSKI | ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER 

Your family, just as you are  

Relaxed and connection-focused family photography in Erie, Pennsylvania 

Pick your adventure

The best ones happen when you stop worrying about getting the perfect photo and give your family room to simply be together.

As an experienced family photographer, I intuitively create natural sessions built around the people you love and the season you’re in right now. 

You’ll be guided when needed, little attention spans will be kept busy, and I’ll always leave plenty of room for the laughter, movement, snuggles, and personality that make your family yours. 

Family photos don’t need perfect behavior, matching outfits, or everyone smiling at the camera at the same time.

Let's Get Started

“Stevee is a creative problem solver and that makes for the most fun and relaxed session.” 


There’s no “one” right way to tell your family’s story. 

Maybe you want to make a day of it and create something beautiful together. Maybe you want to remember your life exactly as it is, while you're living it.

That’s why there are two ways to step in front of my camera.


Pick your adventure

01 THE STORY  

For the memories you’ll tell again and again     

  • A beautiful location chosen with your family in mind
  • Thoughtful styling + wardrobe guidance
  • Playful direction with plenty of room for the in-between
  • Photographs that feel like your family, on a really good day

“Stevee is a 10/10! She did our family photos and made the whole experience so easy. She has THE BEST client wardrobe, the cutest studio, and was great at keeping our toddler and baby happy.”

I totally get things happen or Mother Nature doesn't want to be on our side. In the event of a reschedule, I will send over a few dates (depending on my availability) that you can choose from. If you decide to cancel, your retainer is non refundable.

What happens if we have to reschedule?

02.

The number of images depends on your package selection! You can always add on more for an additional cost.

How many images will I receive?

01.

I stick within a 20-mile radius of Erie, PA

How far do you travel for family sessions?

03.

All payments and contracts go through the Honeybook portal. You can pay with a debit, credit card, or bank transfer. I do not accept Venmo or Paypal. 

How are payments made?

04.

Each client has the opportunity to schedule a wardrobe consultation with me at my studio! We have over 100 dresses for Moms and clothing for littles. We can go over all your session details during this meeting. If that isn’t your thing, that's totally fine! I send out a Style Guide for additional help. 

What should I wear for my session?

05.

Listen, I am a Mom of two boys and I GET IT. Photoshoot days can be stressful but my style of photography is not “look here and smile”. I am there to capture the little moments between you all. I promise to make it a fun time! 

What if my children aren't listening or cooperating during our session?

06.

Creating photographs that someday will feel like home.

No matter which path speaks to your family, we’ll never chase perfection here. Every session is thoughtfully built around capturing your people, as they are. Because the best photographs are the ones that remind us how it felt to be there.
