I believe that natural light, from the sun and its reflections, create photographs that feel fresh, timeless and truest to you. Mastery of lighting, hiding undesirable features, and creating radiant skin tones are amongst the most difficult and most important parts of producing a perfect portrait.
A session with Stephanie Marie isn't just about taking pictures. I'm here to help you feel valued and “seen”…..to capture not only your outer beauty but your inner beauty as well…and to support you throughout our entire time together. It's about developing a relationship together, getting to know who you are, and bringing that out in the form of visual art.
My core values
My experience, extensive education & attention to detail will create images that flatter, look editorial and feel fresh, authentic, modern & fun!

WHY Invest with me?
This is a celebration of you & your year! My style is YOUR style - each session is designed to showcase your authenticity & help voice who you are. You’re one of a kind and your senior session should be as well. This isn’t just about taking a quick snap - this is about taking the right snap. Photography can get pretty technical, but in the end, it’s an artform. When you hire a professional photographer, you’re not just hiring a technician - you’re hiring an artist!
Where are we shooting?
There are countless possibilities once you step outside. Choose from a beautiful garden, an open field filled with wild flowers. An urban setting is another option for your portraits. Not only will you be able to take advantage of the natural light but you’ll have many interesting backdrops to choose from.
HOW MANY LOOKS SHOULD I BRING?
I like to encourage my clients to bring at LEAST three completely unique looks, complete with shoes, scarves, hats, sunglasses and jewelry. Given that we will have at least two hours together, you’ll have enough time for those and more.

“Her work is an art!”
I have a lot of pleasure working with Mrs. Stephanie, the sessions are always fun and joyful. They allow me to be myself and when the final product comes out, it is BEAUTIFUL. Her work is an art!
What I admire most, about Stephanie, is her genuine passion and enthusiasm for capturing those memories. I was thrilled when she asked my family to participate in her portfolio project. Mere words cannot express my gratitude for the photo memories that I will be able to cherish for many years to come, because of her raw talent to frame a live scene through the lens of a camera and turn it into a timeless memory.
