About Us


"Working with Stephanie was an absolute pleasure. I purchased the personal branding package. In the past I've found taking photos a slightly difficult and intimidating venture. However Stephanie made it pleasant and fun.
Before we even began, Stephanie spent time with me and asked lots of questions to help narrow down exactly what I was needing. She was an extremely good listener and paid close attention to even small details.
The shoot itself was a pleasant and fun experience. I was surprised how efficiently she worked. The shoot was completed quickly without feeling rushed. I was grateful the process did not take all day. It was energizing rather than exhausting.
In the end the results were photos even better than I expected. Stephanie even spent extra time with me reviewing the photos to make sure I got EXACTLY what I wanted. The next time I need photos Stephanie will be the first person I call!"

Mark S.

"I needed a lifestyle shoot and Stephanie was the only one that would accommodate my needs by coming to me to do the shoot. The shoot was done well and I would recommend Stephanie if you have unique needs."

William R.

"I can't speak highly enough of Stephanie! I called her the day before I needed some corporate headshots, and I was sure I wasn't going to have any luck finding someone! To my surprise she had some availability for us the next day and was so awesome to set everything up! She was extremely helpful and worked with a sense of urgency which was amazing for my multitasking self! When she arrived the team absolutely LOVED her! They joked around had some fun and took some amazing photos! After it was time for her to leave, she followed up with me again and then within 2 weeks she had our photos ready to go! The interface she uses for her photo galleries is top notch and all her photos were magical! I will absolutely be using her again when I have other teams in the area! If you are on the fence just do it! She is the best!"

What is your creative process working with a new customer?

To craft a beautiful session, I usually begin learning about you and the story you want to capture. We then pick a shooting location of your choice. I can also provide recommendations for you if needed. Next, we will work out a color story for the outfits that best complement the shooting location you chose.

Yes, I do! Post production of the photographs is as important as the day of shoot. Every image you receive will be edited in some shape or form to create that cohesive look of a collection.

My office is based in Torrance, California, 90501. For any photoshoots under an hour, I am willing to travel up to 15 miles radius, free of charge. Anything that falls beyond will be charged by each mile to cover the driven mileage and gasoline cost, at $2/mile.

The turnaround time for any photoshoot will be 2 weeks from your shoot day. They will be uploaded to a private, password protected gallery for you to view and share among your friends and family.

Celebration Sessions
In addition, an USB flash drive with the high resolution files will also be mailed to you as a keepsake.

Only the web resolution files are watermarked for your online usage. All the high resolution files will not be watermarked.

Upon receipt of your digital files, you will also receive a Print Release - Use License, which allows you to print and use the pictures for personal use only. As for obtaining the copyright, it means to own the creator title to the work performed. I do not sell the copyright of the images, but you will have the license and right to print and share your images for personal use as much as you like!

Mask on for me at all times! Most of the shoots will be conducted in outdoor settings, unless specified. We will maintain good social distance and follow all local laws, but you and your close ones can certainly stay as close as you’d like!

Fees and Upgrades

Additional Photos | $15/photo, $120/10 photos

Starting at $15/photo

Hair, Makeup and Personal Styling | 1-2 hours

Starting at $300

Videography | Ex. Marketing, behind the scene.

Starting at $800

General blemish touch-up vs. focused area touch-up.

Upgrades

Natural retouching.

While we don't believe in heavy touch-up to make our client look like a different person in post production, we think a little bit of natural, focused area touch-ups can enhance the overall look of the final photo.

General filter will soften the blemishes, and take away all the fine details a high quality image has to offer. Focused area touch-ups will focus on areas that need retouching, leaving everything else as is.

$20 per area per photo
