My philosophy is:
Story telling


There are pieces of our stories that aren't meant to be told. Instead, they should glimmer and speak through our souls.

Dark Horse Photography: I just wanted to share my incredible experience with Steph and Mua Katie Jubrey After some big life changes, I wanted to do a boudoir shoot and gift the photos for our anniversary. The photo shoot was for me and the photos were for him.
When you hear things like “it’s an experience every person deserves” or how empowering it feels… It’s all true. I walked in so nervous (as I am NOT a model) and not at my goal weight or size but I did want to be captured exactly as I am. Steph and Katie built me up the entire time. Steph demonstrated every pose for me and showed me how each photo came out. I couldn’t believe that I looked that good before any editing. She really knows what she’s doing and listens to the client.
As a mom in school, my biggest struggle was finding something I considered reasonable. Even if I had $3000 to spend on a photo shoot…it would kill me. I could spend that money 1000 ways for my little family. I shopped around for months willing to drive within an hour to somebody with quality photos, but still reasonable pricing. Steph could charge 5x what I paid, but I believe this is her passion, and you can see it in the photos.
Katie did my makeup for my birthday and I loved it. I found the studio tagged on her instagram and the rest is history. She is the makeup artist that comes with your package. Katie completely slayed my face and even did a beat on my friend who came for support. I walked away feeling empowered and beautiful. I am absolutely coming back for family photos and all my photography needs. I already asked Katie to do my makeup for graduation. If you’re looking for something special to do for yourself, your spouse, or even a couple shoot…book with them. I can say enough nice things!

What a warm, inviting and fun environment to hang out and catch some amazing shots.
Stephanie is SO amazing to work with, and I implore you ALL to check out her raw and utter talent behind the camera. I knew I was going to be returning to her studio before I had even left that day! 10/10 recommend!!

Testimonials
Truth be told, Stephanie is my friend. With that being said, it can be uncomfortable being vulnerable and half naked in front of your friend's camera lens. Changing clothes as girls is one thing, but trying to be sexy and/or confident is another. She made me feel beautiful inside and out. She asked what my insecurities were, so that we could focus on poses that would help those insecurities.
Anyone can buy a camera and take pictures. It's a great photographer who sees the vision and makes it come to life. Who takes the time to edit her photos beautifully.
I've worked with Stephanie several times now and can't wait for our next shoot. She makes you excited and proud of your body. I highly recommend booking Stephanie. ❤
