Hi, I’m Stephanie: photographer, writer, homeschooling mama of four, and lifelong observer of all the beautiful, blink-and-it’s-gone stuff that makes up a life.

HOW I GOT HERE

After studying public relations at the University of Florida, I spent the first decade of my career in ad and PR agencies like Ogilvy, helping brands get noticed. Then I shifted gears, building Lifeography, an award-winning portrait studio that captured families all over the country. That grew into YAY! Photos, where I focused on branding and editorial storytelling. Today, I’ve come home to what matters most: documenting people, families, brands, and the fleeting moments they don’t want to forget.

THE FAMILY THAT BUILT THIS

We're a former Navy family--after ten moves in twenty years, we spent a year traveling the U.S. in an RV with our wild and free crew. Along the way, pieces of our family's story have been featured on Lifetime, Disney+, NBC, and in the NY Times, proof that even the quietest moments have a way of making noise when they’re honest.

HOME AT LAST

We’ve finally landed in a vintage fishing cottage we’re slowly renovating in my hometown of New Port Richey, Florida. The days move slower here. I’ve learned to pay attention.

And that’s really what my work is about:

More than light and framing--connection.

Not just making pictures--making proof.

That you were here. That they were yours.

That it was real, and that it was beautiful even if you didn’t realize it at the time.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me curled up with a book in my hammock, paddleboarding at sunset, or soaking in the wild, wonderful chaos of family life. I live for the in-betweens, and I photograph them the way I feel them: honestly, tenderly, and with all the reverence they deserve.

This isn’t just my job.

It’s the truest way I know to hold on to what matters.
