Welcome to my child modeling portfolio!
Since 2015, I have loved collaborating with families, dance schools, and young talent—including featured social media influencers and child models like Sasha Bas.
I can offer regular paid modeling opportunities to help young talent continuously update their portfolios. Dancers, gymnasts, martial artists, athletes, cheerleaders, and actors are all welcome. My shoots feature a balanced variety of professional portraits and natural, bare foot photography that capture each child's unique energy.
Above all, I shoot to create beautiful memories for families and a fun experience for the kids.
Safety Policies

- Safety First: I’m committed to a fun, professional, and secure environment. Please review our full Code of Conduct and FAQ page.
- Pre-Shoot Interviews: We require an initial meeting so parents and models can interview me, discuss details, and ensure we are a perfect match before collaborating.

F.A.Q. | How We Work Together
Compensation & Creative Freedom Model
Unlike traditional retail photographers who charge clients session fees to take direction, I operate as an independent commercial artist. I self-fund my creative passion projects, meaning I invest in the talent out of my own pocket. This structure guarantees creative freedom while providing immediate professional financial benefits to the talent I hand select.
Q . How does compensation work?
- A . Models are paid competitively hourly for their time during our studio or on-location sessions. If a talent is actively signed with a modeling agency or manager, the agency receives a standard 20% commission on all talent bookings.
Q. Do we get the final images?
- A. Yes! In addition to hourly pay, you can receive the high-resolution copies of the final images. You retain full freedom to use them for your personal portfolio, agency submissions, social media, publications, or any personal marketing. You can do anything you want with them. I also retain the freedom to do anything with them as well.
Q. How do you make a living if you don't charge session fees?
- A. As an independent digital creator and fine art artist, my revenue comes entirely from the back-end distribution of my work. People can pay to view my curated digital fine art galleries, exhibitions, and premium online portfolios. This allows me to pay talent fairly and upfront, while also keeping my creative process completely free from outside client dictation.
Q. Who owns the rights to the photos?
- A. The copyright of the imagery remains with Stephan Partipilo LLC. Because my livelihood depends on content creation, images are published in editorial print magazines, and hosted on my secure, pay-to-view digital platforms. Every session requires a standard parent-signed model release detailing these terms before we begin.
