Stephanie Crank Photography
Hi! I’m Stephanie. Welcome to Stephanie Crank Photography! First off...Thank you so much for looking at my work! I’m so excited you are thinking of letting me capture such an important moment! A new baby is the beginning of your legacy and will impact you in ways you have never imagined. You will want to document every little detail so generations from now can see how your family began. You are about to experience the lightning fast speed of change during your baby’s first year. At times it feels just like a blur of bottles and diapers. Unfortunately we don’t have a pause or rewind button! It is so important to capture every milestone and savor every little snuggle. I can’t wait to watch your family grow!

Why Choose Stephanie Crank Photography?
What sets me apart from the rest...
Why do I do this? Becoming a parent is one of the greatest moments of our lives and gives us an entirely new purpose in life. I believe being a parent is the greatest reason to live and I cherise family above everything. A recorded heritage gives self-esteem and wonderful memories to a child. I accomplish this with creative design, personalised sessions and an emotional experience. I know how confusing it can be when you are researching newborn photography! Here are a few details you should know about me and your portrait experience: -Baby safety is my top priority. I have worked with many newborns in my career from tiny pre term babies to 10 pound sweethearts. I have had extensive training in how to pose safely and get those adorable poses you see floating around the web. -Every detial is setup for the comfort of your family from the moment you arrive. I begin working with your little one and take care of everything start to finish - you are welcome to sit back and enjoy watching your session or even nap on our sofa! -I provide complete detials before, during and after our time together so you are fully prepared to get the best portraits possible. -If you are concerned about getting portrait ready so soon after giving birth I do offer hair and makeup services for an additional fee from a wonderful stylist. Even if you don’t take advantage of these services your child won’t care that your makeup wasn’t done just that they have these special images with you. -I offer in person viewing of your images but I do understand not everyone has the time to dedicate to this so I also offer a private online viewing and choosing gallery.
ALL About your session
Studio Newborn The first few weeks after your child is born is like a whirlwind of emotion. It’s as if your whole world has opened up and you’ve discovered that life wasn’t as bright and wonderful before your baby was born. The studio newborn session experience provides a complete portrait study of your most amazing creation. My in home set-up is designed to capture every little detail of your baby in a variety of poses and props. These sessions take place when the baby is between 4-11 days old when your baby is still very sleepy and most comfortable in curled, womb-like positions. I always encourage a full family session at this time. Your baby will grow so incredibly fast and within just a few weeks will no longer fit so delicately snuggled in your arms.
On Location Newborn Welcoming a new addition to your family is filled with beautiful moments that simply can’t be replicated. On location in your home sessions allows for a unique opportunity to enjoy the comfort of your home and get the images you desire. With this there is multiple options from the posed more artistic images like we acheive in a studio session and the option of a more natural lifestyle session as well.
FAQ’S When should I schedule my newborn portraits?
It’s never too early to book! Newborns are best photographed in their first 4-11 days. I only take on a few number of newborn sessions each month to ensure that every client receives the best experience possible. Your retiainer holds your due date on my schedule so you are garaunteed a session. Sometimes I am unable to work in babies that have already been born as time permits. Babies older than 2 weeks may not sleep as well or curl into poses as easily. Please book early!
Why does it take 2 weeks till I can view my images?
I am a custom photographer and would never show you an unfinished product. Each image is a unique piece of art and carefully hand edited. You will be able to view your images at either our in person consult or in a private online gallery. Once your image or print order is placed you will receive a finished product shortly after.
What about props for sessions?
During your consultation we will talk extensively about designing the session. I have a collection of blankets, backdrops, headbands and hats in multiple colors. Specialty props will be discussed and I encourage you to bring any sentimental items. For most sessions I like to keep the props minimal to focus on the emotion and expression and keep a truly timeless image.
Where do we have our session?
This depends on you and the type of session desired. Newborn sessions are mainly held in my at home studio (on the outskirts of Wichita Falls towards Holliday TX) but I am available to travel on location as well.
What do I need for the session?
I ask you bring any discussed props or items as well as basic necessities diapers, bottles, pacis, anything you need for the baby etc. I do have some snacks and bottled water available but feel free to bring your own these sessions usually last a few hours and it’s good to stay fed and hydrated.
Investment The Newborn experience involves:
-Detailed consultation where we discuss your style, ideas and goals for your session. This allows me to create the best experience for your family. -A few hours of rest and relaxation not worrying about your precious little one while I pose and capture them. -Hand detailing of the best images in my digital darkroom. -The option for in person or online viewing gallery to select your favorite images.

A little about me: Whether you’re a new family of three, recently added a new member or are just realizing how fast your baby is changing and growing, it is the perfect time for a portrait session. As the expression goes “the days are long, but the years are short”- time goes by so quickly and it’s essential that we capture these beautiful moments before they’re only a distant memory. You may have never done this before , but I have! I’m here to make sure you get the most out of your photography experience every step of the way! I’m proud to have built a reputation as a photographer in Wichita Falls, TX. I’d like for you to know a little more about the girl behind the camera. I’m married to Kenny we have an amazing son, Legend. We share our home with our Yorkie Chewie. I specialize in family photography because family is my #1 priority this encompasses all aspects from maternity, birth, newborn and beyond. I strive everyday to be the best mommy possible to my rambunctious little man. I graduated high school at Holliday and went on to begin my studies in Biology at MSU and to participate in the color and winterguard at a collegiate level. I found my passion in cosmetology shortly after that and pursued a career in that which led me to meeting my husband while working at a salon. I got injured which led to difficulties standing all day and sought out a new dream. An opportunity to run a photo studio fell into my lap and my passion and love for all things photography have grown since then! I started my career in 2011 and haven’t looked back. I am grateful for my husbands overwhelming support in all my ventures. Since the launch of my business I have been honored to photograph many amazing people. I like to find the beauty in the mundane. I want to be able to tell your story in a collection of images. I am honored to docement this time for you!
