I’m Stephanie! I am a visual artist who happens to be in love with weddings and photographing all kinds of people. 

I began my photography business waaaay back in 2009, so I’ve been in the wedding world for quite a while. In 2012, I acquired my BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in fine art photography at University of North Texas. I just recently had my first baby May of 2023, so I’m a brand new mama figuring out this new journey of motherhood. I am a peaceful, happy and open-minded being, and I strive to keep a positive outlook on this beautiful life!

Interesting tidbits about your's truly!

I live in a cute old house built in the 50s and have been raising backyard chickens for almost 10 years! I LOVE going to see musicals and being involved with community theater (ask me what musicals I’ve been involved in when we meet). I also love going hunting at estate sales, garage sales and thrift stores.

 FAQs

  • For engagement and other sessions, my goal is about 2 weeks. For weddings, it could take 6 to 8 weeks to receive access to the online gallery of images, depending on how busy my season is. I aim to finish in a timely manner, but please understand that I do not outsource my editing, as I prefer doing it myself. I appreciate your kind patience. 

  • For sessions it's $150, which is applied towards the session fee. For weddings, it's 25% of the finalized package price. 

  • Fairly soon after getting engaged. If you love my work, then you will need to make sure I'm available as soon as you can. I hate letting down couples when telling them I'm already booked for their big day. In the past, I've even had some totally awesome clients base their wedding date around my schedule…I’m so very grateful for that. But also, there are times when I’ve been able to book totally last minute weddings. Just reach out!

  • I'm MORE than willing to travel anywhere in the world. I have this dream of photographing a wedding in every state of the USA. So far I've had the opportunity of photographing in California, New York, Maine, Rhode Island, Arizona, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, and even Jamaica!

  • If it looks like it's going to rain, it might be best best to reschedule. If you are unable to reschedule, we may need to have a backup location that’s indoors. However, if you're not afraid to get a little wet, bring some cute rain boots and an adorable umbrella for some dreamy and romantic images in the rain. BUT if there is potential for severe weather, we will definitely need to reschedule as I do not want to risk my couples or myself! I hate tornado season y'all. 

  • I use an incredible online gallery service where you will have the ability to download your images to your phone and computer, order prints or a canvas, design a custom heirloom album, etc! I do offer USB’s as an add-on.

  • Could depend on how many clothing looks you bring, but they usually can last between an hour and a half to two hours. Time tends to fly (because they are so fun). We end when I feel like we got a lot of 'goodies'. 

  • I photograph weddings, elopements and sessions like engagement, bridal, family, maternity, newborn as well as lifestyle/promotional shoots for bloggers and other businesses.

  • I will send your online invoice via FreshBooks along with your online contract and an invite to fill out my client questionnaire.

  • "Nothing can be learned in this world unless you have the humility to learn" - Geeta Iyengar. This is a quote that I live by! I'm always striving better my craft and myself. Education doesn't end once you graduate from school, life is a never-ending learning experience. I've attended workshops from JVS Creative, The Glow Workshop with Amanda Marie and Shalyn Nelson, and most recently, a storytelling workshop with Jonas Peterson. I'm definitely planning on attending more in the future! There are some awesome workshops out there.

  • I've been asked this question MANY times! If I were to offer a workshop, it would be one-on-one based, and catered to the individual. If you’re a photographer and are interested, feel free to reach out!
