About this vendor

I'm married to my love I met in college, Steven. I'm a mama to three sweet babes. Coffee is a fav - my deep affection began while working at 2 hometown coffee shops in college. Good conversations over good coffee make the world a better place. Road trips and exploring small towns makes my heart happy. One of my favorite parts of the drive is always the "rural revivals"- where the main street is full of little shops and hometown restaurants. I like the simple things in life. That's why I'm here. I'm here to document the little things, the emotion, laughter, quiet in-between moments, sweet kisses, loving glances, and photograph the real, not just the pretty and perfect. The details are important, but the people around you are so even more. So what that your kiddo has a bruise on his forehead from the goose egg he earned climbing too high. Get the photos taken, you'll look back and laugh, thanking God that he didn't end up in the ER for that stunt. What? You're not the size you want to be? Me neither. But our babies still derserve photos with their mama. They love you no matter and will always know how much you love them. Life is short. Memories fade, loved ones pass, and the days that seem long end up being very short in hindsite. That's why photos are so important. I treasure the images I have that remind me of how tiny my baby actually was, those crappy selfies of Steven and I when we were just starting our lives together, photos of my mom being Gigi to our rbabies, photos of my Grandma from a time that I didn't know her, photos of my kiddos out in the field with my mom and dad taking turns riding in the combine, shots of my babies with dirt on their face playing in the yard... all of them. They make me smile. They bring my joy. They help me remember what was, espiecially with this sleep deprived mama brain I have going on. Let's preserve a little piece of your story. xo, Steph

Steph was wonderful to work with, and we loved that she was with us on our wedding day! Her pictures are beautiful, she accommodated everything we asked of her, and we were so happy to have her take our photos. We would highly recommend her!

I couldn’t imagine having anyone else capture our big moments in life! Steph and Steven photographed our wedding and went above and beyond. I knew the moment I met her that I wanted her to be our photographer. She is the most genuine, down to earth and caring person that just makes everything feel so easy. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photos, helped us figure out the timeline of our day, and helped us through every aspect of our big day. I honestly don’t think things would’ve gone as smoothly without her! So many friends and family told us how amazing she was throughout the day. And we are still in awe of how our wedding photos turned out! Steph and Steven captured everything we wanted and more. We can’t wait to have them photograph more big moments in our future!

If you're looking for an incredibly genuine and amazingly talented photographer, Steph is your girl. I work in the wedding industry, and after working with dozens of photographers, I knew exactly what I wanted when it came to my own photos for my engagement and wedding. My husband and I wanted someone who could truly capture who we are without making us look posed or unnatural. Steph made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera while letting us be ourselves. We had a huge wedding, and Steph made things so incredibly easy for us. She helped us put together our timeline, and the day of, she wrangled all of our friends and family like a champ. She also navigated through a massive reception and was able to capture so many incredible memories for us. She exceeded every expectation we had. I have so many amazing pictures of not only my husband and I, but also so many of our friends and family that we will cherish forever. I am so grateful for our images and the new friendship we formed with Steph. I cannot recommend her enough.

Stephanie & her husband Steven, are absolutely amazing and such kind, sweet souls. They get to know you on a personal basis (which is something that is so meaningful to my husband and I - beings we are photographers as well, you need to know the story behind the individuals you are capturing to make sure you and your audience get all of the feels), to make sure they fully can capture you and your love for one another, through their images/work; plus, you get to see what lovely individuals they are too. These two truly get involved in your special day and go beyond their job as a photographer to help you with anything and everything you need. Steph actually made up my wedding timeline, to make sure I had a set plan and specific times set, for our special day! She asked questions to see if I had specific things planned, what I was going to do for things I never even thought about doing, etc. In a sense, she's also a wedding planner on the side ;) Steph is so well organized. She not only keeps herself in line, but your bridal party and special day of events. Her style of work/art is truly beautiful. There is so much feeling behind each image she captures/creates. All of our images are something to truly cherish for a lifetime and on. Just by looking at our images, it brings back all of the emotions felt on our special day. I just can't say enough good things about Steph. I know I missed a lot of things that needed mentioned, but I could go on for days. Don't hesitate in booking Steph!
