Our Story

Stephanie is an award-winning North Wales photographer capturing natural, heartfelt moments for families, motherhood and modern love stories.

"I believe the most meaningful photographs are the ones that feel real — the quiet cuddles, the laughter, and the in-between moments you didn’t even realise were happening."

With a background in Business Management, she's built a photography business around more than beautiful imagery; focusing on creating a professional, reliable and seamless experience from your first enquiry to your final gallery.

Clients trust Stephanie to document their family's journey, celebrating each cherished milestone along the way. For her, this endeavor is not just a profession—it's a heartfelt passion that she shares with every family she works with.

A Little More About Me

I have a decades-long passion for photography, so I love to spend my free time capturing nature and being out in the open.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me by the coast, soaking up the fresh air or spending time with family.

Photography has always been more than just taking pictures for me; it’s about preserving moments that pass far too quickly and creating something you can hold onto forever.

Our Approach

Whether we’re in my studio or out along the coastline, my approach is always the same — relaxed, natural and gently guided.

I know being in front of the camera can feel a little daunting, which is why I create a calm, comfortable experience where you can simply be yourselves.

No awkward posing, no pressure — just genuine moments captured beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at stephanie@islalaceyphotography.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Where do sessions take place?

I offer both studio and outdoor sessions across North Wales.
Our studio is in Colwyn Bay.

Outdoor sessions often take place along the coastline or in natural, open spaces, creating that soft, relaxed feel you see throughout my work.

What should we wear for our session?

Once you’re booked in, I’ll send you a simple guide with tips on what works best.
I always recommend soft, neutral tones and outfits that feel comfortable and true to you — nothing too “matchy,” just naturally coordinated.

How long does it take to receive our photos?

You’ll receive a sneak peek within 24-72 hours (so you don’t have to wait to relive those moments), with your full gallery delivered shortly after.

Do you photograph weddings as well?

Yes I’m now capturing weddings alongside my family and motherhood work.
My approach is exactly the same: natural, relaxed and focused on real moments, so your photos reflect how your day truly felt.

What if my children don’t behave during the session?

Honestly, that’s completely normal — and nothing to worry about!
Some of the most beautiful images come from those in-between moments. I keep sessions relaxed and playful so children can be themselves.
