“She was very knowledgeable of different poses and had an eye for different areas to get the best pictures. She was very prompt and able to keep a flow going. She even gave me advice for how to keep my extensions in... and they stayed in the remainder of the day. I would definitely recommend and would work with Stephanie again!”

“Stephanie is amazing!! I hired her to fly out to Oregon and take our photos on the coast. She was so easy to work with. I had a vision and she executed it perfectly! The photos we got were AMAZING and I can’t stop looking at them!! If you’re on the fence about hiring her, this is your sign to do it!! She’s the best!!!
“Steph is a super fun, upbeat photographer who knows how to have fun. Photo shoots with her are more like a party than a checklist item. Not to mention, her pictures are amazing. She has a great way of making them feel natural and catching the little moments. I would definitely recommend Steph for anyone who’s looking!”
