“WE TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS AS A RETURN TICKET TO A MOMENT OTHERWISE GONE."
-Katie Thurmes
I strive to photograph all of the tiny details in-between the beautiful moments. You can catch me playing music during your session and showing off my amazing dance moves. Why would I do such an embarrassing thing? Because this always helps bring out the best smiles in my clients, especially the kids. It helps keep the atmosphere light and fun which is what you will get when you book a session with me. I will always make it fun, guide you through with light direction, and give you the classic shots that you will want to look back on for years to come.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Galen was so patient with my kids which helped so much during our family newborn session. Her attention to detail amongst the chaos of three kids was unmatched. When I saw the photos, she was able to capture all the little moments that were calm, peaceful, and full of joy.... some of which we didn’t even notice in person! She took extra time coaching my kids and made it fun for them as well."
— Hannah
"I had the absolute BEST experience with Galen Stewart Photography. She is professional, creative, and so fun to work with! She does amazing work - you will not be disappointed!"
— Rachel
"I usually never like having my pictures taken, but Galen made the whole experience so wonderful!! We spent the entire time laughing, and before we knew it, almost two hours had passed! I'd love to have her take my pictures again. Not only is she an amazing photographer (that's unquestionable) but also a sweet and amazing person!"
