Since losing my mom, I see the world differently—through a lens shaped by loss, love, and longing. I don’t just capture moments, I hold onto them.Grief gave me a deeper perspective. It’s why I show up differently—for you and the people you love. With every shutter click, I’m preserving connection, memory, and the kind of love that lingers long after the moment is gone. If you're looking for photos that hold real emotion, I'd be honored to capture your story.
Every photo I take is guided by emotion, not just the camera.
Whether you are recently engaged, planning your wedding, or celebrating your sexy side, I’m thrilled you’re here. Life is short, so capturing moments in time is not just important – it’s precious and invaluable. With that being said, I want your experience to be meaningful, fun, and stress free.
authentically you.
it's not just about the big day.
it's about all the magical moments in between. moments that are...

My mom was my life, my world. She was my bestest friend and the one I shared everything with. She passed away in May 2019, only a month after I photographed her with her momma. It was then that I realized pictures truly are worth a thousand words.
I'm stephanie. Lover of pink, faithful daughter, storyteller
