Hi, I am Steph. I am an event and portrait photographer based in Iowa City. I would love to document your life at whatever stage: engagement, wedding, family, and more!

I love capturing real moments--I prefer candid quiet moments over highly directed shots. Sign me up for a shoot in tall prairie grasses during sunset and it'll make me melt every time. I also love the points in time during editing when I catch myself smiling back at the screen as I see all the emotive gooeyness I've managed to capture--it's the best feeling.

As an Iowa native, I love open skies, prairie grasses and lightning bugs. Lately I've thought of myself as a bit of a visual magpie--using my camera to collect bits of beauty that I use to line our home. I am a frequent chaser of pretty light--always noticing long shadows crisscrossing our front lawn and glowing patches of sun dancing across the walls of our home.
