get to know
The earliest days with your baby are often a beautiful blur, filled with slow mornings, tiny stretches, familiar embraces, and moments that can easily slip away with time. An in-home newborn session is an opportunity to pause and preserve this fleeting season.
Every newborn session is designed to feel relaxed and effortless, allowing your family to settle into the comfort of home while we gently guide you through a natural, refined experience. The result is a thoughtful collection of photographs that captures your family exactly as it is, today.

Some moments ask to be remembered, because they represent who you are right now. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply choosing to document everyday life, each session is designed with intention and a thoughtful attention to detail. Together, we'll create an experience that feels relaxed, refined, and authentic, allowing you to be fully present while we preserve this chapter with timeless imagery.

We cannot say enough incredible things about Miranda and Steph from Z&Ko! From the very beginning, they were professional, organized, and genuinely excited about our day. On our wedding day, they kept everything running smoothly while still allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment.
When we received our gallery, we were absolutely blown away. The photos are absolutely stunning, timeless, and full of emotion. They truly captured the joy and energy of our day, and we will treasure these images forever. We could not have imagined a better team to capture our big day!

I cannot say enough good things about Steph and Miranda! They captured our engagement, engagement photos and our wedding. We have even done extended family photos with them as well.
From our first conversation with them to our wedding day they have exceeded expectations. They are organized, talented, creative and genuinely invested in capturing every single moment. I cannot tell you how many compliments we have received on our photos so far and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding photos and couldn't be happier with our decision to use Z and Ko. for all of our big life moments!

We cannot thank Z & KO Photography for making our wedding day nothing short of magical! From the beginning Stephanie and Miranda were a joy to work with. As a Bride who feels uncomfortable taking photos, I was nervous about the amount of photos I knew I would be taking on my wedding day. From our first meeting, their energy and kindness put my fears to rest and made the entire wedding planning process a breeze. They listened to our ideas and wishes for our photos and turned our vision into magic. I felt so comfortable and relaxed the day of because of their guidance and support. The photos we have received so far are absolutely beautiful and more than we could have imagined. We highly recommend booking them for your wedding or special event!

Z&Ko. were so incredible to work with for our wedding on Saturday! It was 94 degrees, sunny, and windy and they were so helpful with picking spots with great lighting while also finding shade and they were so patient with us and our wedding party when we needed to take breaks/things went out of order on the schedule, etc. Thank you Stephanie and Miranda for your professionalism and fun you brought to our wedding!! We highly recommend!!
"My veil also kept flying around in the wind and they stopped 100+ times to help reset it and get the perfect shots!"

They created such a relaxed atmosphere that we were able to completely be ourselves and simply enjoy every moment of our special day.
