“Stephanie is such a fantastic human to work with!

She takes care of everything, makes it fun but is also very efficient with time which my family definitely appreciates. “

-Kelly

“She was amazing to work with. So sweet and full of energy, she got me pumped up to shoot these photos when the weather had been concerning me.

She made me feel like a hundred bucks and I’m so grateful that she was recommended to us, truly such a considerate and talented photographer.”

-Maddie

“Stephanie was so sweet; I liked her immediately. She made me feel very comfortable, which was good since I don’t love being photographed.

She also was very prepared, she had everything from double-sided tape to hairspray to props. She made posing feel natural and it wasn’t awkward at all.
