You're here because...

you have a deep desire for preserving all the moments happening right now in your life, in a real, genuine way.

You aren't a fan of the lame, stiff photos- the ones with your fake smile that make you cringe. Sticking your kid in the middle of a mountain of props ain't your thing either. Let's also add to your list of "nah,": flash photography, say cheese prompts, matchy clothing, unflattering camera angles, rushed sessions, and photos that look like everyone else's. You want photos on your wall that bring you pure joy every single time your eye lands on it.

LET ME TELL YOUR STORY

Our lives rush past us in a fury. How often do we take the time to truly stop and relish all that we’ve been given. It’s time to soak in the beautiful moments- the quiet spaces, awaiting the cries of a baby, or screaming giggles of a toddler entering your life, the not-so-quiet house that is overtaken with blocks, crayons, and dolls, the afternoon walks on a trail finding pine cones and little rocks to dig out later from pockets. I’m all about that stuff.

 

I’m here to help you see the beauty in all the chaos, cherishing it for a day when you need a smile and for generations to come.

THINGS I OFTEN HEAR

PEOPLE SAY...

  • "We aren't really picture people"
  • "We don't really know how to pose"
  • "We're going to need lots of help"
  • "My home isn't photographable"

yea... these people said that, too.

Yo, these aren't models.

Choosing me means that you get to relax and trust me to do what I do best. I pose you. I style you. I find the gorgeous areas in your home that photograph well.

 

ALL OF THIS is my JAM.

authentic. emotive. warm & moody. timeless.

this isn't portrait photography.

this is documentary, lifestyle, storytelling ...

 

this is your beautiful life.

Hey, I'm stephanie

I’m the face behind the camera. born and raised right here in Houston, TX. When I’m not out collecting new hobbies like raising butterflies or adding to my indoor jungle, I’m hanging out with my two kiddos, Emmie & Ollie, or plotting a new hiking trip in the mountains. Creatively, I relish in the small, authentic moments that make you feel something. I want you to hear my work and truly relive the experience at its core.

i know we just met,

but i'm gonna hug you.
