Upstate New York Wedding & Family Photographer


I'm Kyrsten Stephany — a professional photographer based in Upstate New York, specializing in wedding, maternity, newborn, and family photography. My work is rooted in capturing timeless, true-to-color images that reflect the genuine emotion, connection, and quiet magic found in everyday moments and once-in-a-lifetime celebrations.

From the joy and intimacy of a wedding day, to the quiet anticipation of a maternity session, to the sweet beginnings of newborn life and the real, unscripted love of family portraits — my approach blends natural storytelling with gentle guidance. I want your photos to feel not just beautiful, but honest.

I photograph both intimate weddings and full-day celebrations across Upstate New York, the Hudson Valley, and beyond, and I offer a full range of lifestyle photography for growing families. Whether we’re capturing your vows, your first baby, or your yearly family session, you’ll receive images that feel as real and meaningful as the moments themselves.


Let’s tell your story — beautifully, intentionally, and always with heart.
