My first photo was taken on a cold, below freezing, freshly snow coated winter day. I was 9 years old and spotted the most beautiful icicle I had ever seen. The bush (yes, the bush) next to my house was completely frozen, and each individual leaf was an icicle. I couldn't believe my eyes. I ran inside to grab my dad's camera in a hurry so I could capture what I felt no one else in the world would ever get to see or feel. I wanted others to see and feel what I had seen and felt simply by looking at this icicle bush.


Now, you're probably thinking, "Stephanie, it's just a bush." Yes, you're totally right, I know, but it was BEAUTIFUL, and you can click to see that very first photo for yourself.

The best part of my job is getting to know you, cherishing what makes you unique, and capturing your most beautiful self during once in a lifetime moments.

I have met incredible people over these 10+ years. I love love. I love family. I love memories. I love sharing moments with former strangers that have become close friends. Large families & small families, camera shy & camera lover, I will welcome you with open arms.

Have you ever looked at a photo and smiled remembering the pure happiness you felt in the moment it was taken? I love preserving those moments. I love capturing those memories.
And that, my friends, is my why.
