Boudoir | Kristie N

"I was nervous AF heading to my boudoir session but once I walked in I immediately felt welcomed by Steph and her glam squad. With a little help from a couple mimosas, delicious croissants and an incredible pep talk of how I’m going to slay this, I was ready to go.

I’ve never felt truly beautiful in my own skin and it’s even more awkward showing off in front of a camera. Steph reassured me it’s totally normal to feel this way. She played the most badass feel good music and yelled a few “YAS QUEEN”s behind that camera, and before I knew it, I was Ariana Grande posing all over that room like nothing can break me.

I felt EMPOWERED. I felt on top of the world. By the end, I realized this wasn’t just a “body” photo shoot, it was a shoot to show myself I AM BEAUTIFUL. Steph knows that and wants you to know it too. She brings that powerful side of you out, reminding you it has been there this whole time. She sees your heart and not how many rolls you have on your stomach. She captures pure beauty; the beauty that’s been there this. whole. time."

ARIES SEASON

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. A fire sign, ruled by the planet of Mars. A season full of new beginnings, action, and feisty behavior. At your high, you’ll feel passion, fearlessness, enthusiasm, playfulness and strong independence. At your low, will bring up - bossiness, impulsivity, bad tempers, competitiveness, and short-sightedness. Once thing is for sure, nothing is half-hearted by an Arien.

“We want to start this by giving a huge thank you to Stephanie and Madison for photographing our wedding. From our very first meeting, we knew Stephanie had the right vision and style for the rustic Terrain wedding we were planning. Stephanie stayed in touch during the planning process which made us feel supported up until the big day. The morning of the wedding both girls fit right in at our parent's houses, capturing the feel of family and excitement. Our first look was arranged perfectly and we truly cannot wait to see our pictures to relive the entire day. Stephanie was incredibly professional but at the same time had us laughing throughout the day.  Both sides of the wedding party commented on how much of a perfect fit she was. Stephanie, you really exceeded our expectations and we really cannot thank you enough! We highly recommend Stephanie as a wedding photographer. She was incredible! xoxo, Deana and Drew”
