Being a parent, I know first hand how quickly time passes by. With the simple tick of a clock, a first smile or first step becomes history. I have been known to be a 'photo freak' or 'camera happy', but that's ok because having a camera within arms reach at all times has allowed me to capture those moments. It's heartwarming and brings a smile to my face every time I go back and look at them. Children change so much with each passing day. Let me help you capture the important stages of your family's life so you can look back years from now and remember those special moments too.

MazPix is a mobile photography studio owned and operated by Stephanie Mazanowski in Normal, IL servicing the Central Illinois area. I graduated from Illinois State University in May of 2002 with an Accounting degree and spent 8 years as an accountant before having the courage to step away from the field to pursue my true passion. Life is too short to not love what you do.

I have always loved photography and children, so decided to combine the two and now specialize in photography for children, sports, and families. I did not go to school to be a photographer, nor do I claim to know everything there is to know about the topic, but I have spent numerous hours reading books, watching lighting and posing videos, and simply surrounding myself with photography friends who have been willing to show me a few tricks of the trade. Through all of that I have developed the skills necessary to provide you with quality photographs. I bring an enormous level of creativity, passion, and playfulness to every photo shoot and have an eye for that special moment composing it in a meaningful way which translates into one of a kind photos of your loved ones. I realizes that getting a child's pictures taken in a 'sit & smile' format can be a stressful event for both the child and the parents. With the flexibility of a mobile studio, MazPix comes to you, where you and your children are comfortable which allows us to use your own special props and meaningful locations. With MazPix, it's all about the experience and capturing your family's personality.
