hi, I'm steph!

I'm so happy you're here!
                 xx

I’m a dreamer with a wildly creative soul and an imagination that never seems to rest. My ideas are big, bold, and sometimes a little crazy—but thankfully, I married someone who believes in every single one of them right alongside me.

At heart, I’m a hopeless romantic. I still believe in fairytales—but more importantly, I believe it's up to us to create them.

Photography has always been my way of seeing the world: through a cinematic lens, searching for the beauty in the in-between. After losing my mom just before my ninth birthday, I quickly learned how fleeting life is—and how priceless a photograph can become. She was always behind the camera, just like I am now. And though I only have a few photos of us together, they are among my most cherished possessions.

That’s why I do what I do.

I believe in documenting your story in a way that’s raw, real, and entirely you. Perfectly imperfect portraits that reflect where you are in this season of your life—whether it’s joyful, chaotic, tender, or a little bit of everything. I lean into the happy, the messy, and the moments in between, capturing them in bright, rich, true-to-life tones.

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me outside chasing the sunshine with my dreamboat husband and our five beautiful kids—living a life full of smiles, messes, adventure, and so much love.

For me, photography is more than images—it’s legacy. It’s the most meaningful art we’ll ever own.

"SOMETIMES YOU WILL
NEVER KNOW THE VALUE
OF A MOMENT, UNTIL IT BECOMES A MEMORY."

- Dr. Seuss

STYLE

my

IS AUTHENTIC
IS NATURAL
IS FOR ADVENTURERS
+ LOVERS OF LIFE

My approach is rooted in authenticity. While I’ll gently guide you with prompts and poses, the real magic lies in the moments that unfold naturally—unscripted, effortless, and true.

My style is inspired by natural light and the unique connection you share, whether as a couple or a family. No two stories are the same, and your session should reflect that.

Yes, we’ll capture the classic portraits—but I’m also there for the in-between. The quiet glances, soft laughter, and fleeting expressions that speak volumes. Those are the moments you'll return to again and again.
