Stephanie was born and raised in Texas, earned a Theatre Studies degree from DePaul University in Chicago, and moved to California to attend law school at UC Davis. After working in a very prestigious, highly coveted but deeply soul-crushing and energy-sucking job as a Big Law bankruptcy attorney, Stephanie decided to do what elder Millennials do best - quit the reliable job and follow her hobby, aka "passion." She had been studying photography since she was 14 and started her photography business in 2012 specializing in weddings and women's portraiture. After the birth of her first son, Stephanie slowly transitioned away from weddings and focused on commercial work, shooting for a variety of artists, entrepreneurs, restaurants, and stock photo companies. No one is more surprised than her to know that, in addition to being profitable since the first year of business, her photography has been published in numerous magazines -both print and digital- and has even been featured on a highly esteemed national television program you may have heard of - The Today Show!

Stephanie enjoys traveling whenever possible, fantasizing about living in an Anthro catalogue, baking with her kids, discovering new gluten-free treats, cuddling with her cats, and getting lost in whatever story has captured her attention whether it be a book or tv show (but she also loves some good Housewives or VPR drama too).
