Together, we'll choose the best backdrop for your session. I provide a location guide, and will scout any new areas if needed. If you're interested in a second location, please let me know.

You'll never be left wondering what to do with your hands! Think of my style as a mix between polished posing and joyful candids. I'll give you strategic prompts to help you look put together while staying authentic to the emotions of the moment. I love to work in natural light, and focus on capturing the little details that tell the story of your day.

"I was so glad that Steffanie was able to capture our maternity photos when we were in Joshua Tree for our babymoon! She made us feel so comfortable, and we could not be happier with the photos! She was quick to get them back to us and provided a lot to choose from. I would definitely recommend Steffanie to anyone looking for an amazing photo session. She knocked it out of the park!"
