Polished Photography for Business Owners
Dynamic, confident photos will illuminate your brand. So much of your reputation starts online, often before people even meet you. I cannot stress enough that your headshots need to match your vibe in real life! Your photos should be a true reflection of your entrepreneurial drive. You can’t put a price on recognizability!

“People tend to hold on to their first impressions - that’s why those first descriptions can be so important. You don’t even necessarily look at people that carefully after a while; you just hold on to that early impression.”
- Miranda July
Who Am I?
MEET STEPHANIE
I’ve been a business owner for over 12 years – you are never standing still! I know what it’s like to cultivate a brand that is always evolving. But in my early days, I had my share of photos that felt off. They didn't resonate with me or my business in a way that truly portrayed my passion and creativity.
So I turned the camera lens on myself.
And through the process, I discovered what’s missing from brand photography – the REAL you.
I’ve always focused on highlighting the individuality of every single client. My photography business started with wedding and engagement pictures that were anything but formulaic. Then I added boudoir sessions, which celebrates every BODY. And now I’m bringing that same approach to brand photography. You bring your whole self to your business … and that authenticity is exactly what we will capture together.
