Welcome to Willow Creek Photography, the storytelling practice of artist Stephanie Mahoney in Wilmington, NC.
I document birth stories, in-home newborn sessions, maternity, family, and love stories throughout coastal North Carolina with a calm, connected, and storytelling approach.

Hi! I’m Stephanie. I’m a North Carolina native, wife, mother to four amazing humans, lover of the moon, and a true foodie.
Photography has been a passion of mine since I was a kid. I enjoyed snapping away under the willow tree in my backyard, taking photos of the things I loved then: my sister, friends, family dog, and nature. As I grew, eventually the things I loved became my own children and I longed for my passion to become my profession. With the passing of my father, I realized life is too sweet to let moments go undocumented and opened my studio. Even though he has passed from this earthly world, my father is still cheering me on and has helped place this dream right into my creative hands. And I’m still taking photos “under the willow tree.”
I am so excited to get to know you! Whatever season your season, whatever your story, let’s create together!
XOXO
LET’S MAKE MAGIC
In Your Home.
Home is where so many of the sweetest moments unfold. For newborn sessions, I bring a simple, soft setup straight to you so your family can stay comfortable during those first sleepy days. These sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and centered around connection, tiny details, and the honest rhythm of life at home.
On Location.
From quiet fields and garden paths to the beaches along the coast, location sessions are chosen with your family and story in mind. Maternity, family, and love story sessions can take place somewhere meaningful, beautiful, and true to the season you are in.
Birth Spaces.
Birth stories are documented with a calm, respectful presence wherever your baby is welcomed. Whether you are birthing at home, in a birth center, or in the hospital, my approach is quiet, observant, and centered on preserving the strength, support, and love surrounding your baby’s arrival.
Wherever you are in your story, there is space for it here.
