MEET Steph

As a photographer, I am captivated by the raw emotions, love and interactions that make us human. My passion lies in capturing these moments and freezing them in time through my lens.

From intimate wedding days or elopements to roof top sunsets, I strive to inspire others to see the beauty in everyday moments and to cherish the relationships and connections they have in their own lives.

  • My goal as a wedding photographer is to be that person to make all of my couples feel as comfortable as possible to ensure they are getting to most authentic photos from their special day. Wedding’s can be thought of as overwhelming and I’m here to take some of the stress away and provide you with everlasting photos.

  • If you’re not quite ready to commit to wedding photos - I’m also here for you to document that blissful moment of being newly engaged.

  • Being able to capture the love of a growing family is so special to me. I love to offer every stage of this joyous moment from announcement to maternity to newborn photos. I do offer package deals if you choose to do a combination of maternity/newborn. Every family is so different and full of so much love that deserves to be frozen in time.

  • Boudoir is traditionally thought to be a photo session that women do for the man/significant other in their life however I view it differently. Your boudoir session can be primarily for you. I truly believe that all women are uniquely beautiful in their own way. A boudoir session is the perfect way of empowering yourself and giving you the confidence that you 100000% deserve. Here’s to showing the world that beauty doesn’t mean a perfect hourglass body but is about those stretch-marks, curves, hip dips and all the things that make us women beautiful.

  • "Steph was amazing! My husband and I were blown away by the amazing photos we received for both our engagement session and wedding. My wedding day was rainy and things didn’t go exactly to plan, but Steph was able to roll with all the changes and captured the most incredibly, moody photos that we will cherish for life. Steph was always there to answer any question I had and was a complete joy to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend Steph, you will not be disappointed!"

  • “Beyond grateful that we chose Steph to capture so many amazing memories for both our wedding day and engagement. She is very professional, genuine & so supportive. Steph was invested throughout the entire process, checking in & making sure we were ready for our wedding day. She helped create our day of timeline to make sure we were able to get all the important shots. She is so flexible and willing to do anything to make sure our day was special- including adding another location for some shots which turned out SO special to us. Our photos came super quickly and are absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend Steph enough.”

  • “Stephanie has been amazing throughout our engagement/wedding process. She accommodated an extra couples session and customized our wedding photography package to exactly what we wanted. Stephanie made us feel so comfortable when taking photos, taking time to understand our vibe and our relationship. We aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera, but Steph made it so easy and fun! She was incredibly quick with the turn around of photos from our couples photo shoot, I was so impressed! She is professional, talented, and just an overall lovely person! Definitely book her for all of your photography needs!!”

    Emily + Alex

  • "“After getting engaged, Steph was recommended to me from a friend. I am so thankful our paths crossed! When I say she goes above and beyond every step of the way, I mean it! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and relaxed while taking our engagement pictures. I remember meeting her for the first time- she gave me a hug and instantly radiated her bubbly and kind personality. She even asked what our favorite music is, and she played this while taking our photos to make us feel as comfortable as possible. We got so many compliments on our engagement photos and she got them back to us SO quickly."
