About

Hi, I’m so glad you found me!

I’m Stephanie, a commercial and editorial photographer based out of Ojai, Ca. I’ve been working in photography for about 15 years and in that time have created a fun, dynamic career supporting businesses and brands with strong, cohesive photography. What lights me up most is collaborating with aligned brands, building a long term relationships where I create images that tell a story and make an impact.

I got my start assisting photojournalists in Chicago in 2007 and learned how to create a visual narrative from the beginning. Eventually, I made my way to the west coast and have created a life I love full of nature, strong community and good food out here in my small town. I like a good road trip, especially with friends and a film camera, especially with great trails! I have a son who keeps my endurance up and is teaching me how to speak like I grew up on the beach.

“Stephanie is such a pleasure to work with. Completely professional and personable. She understands her subject and the environment in which she is photographing. Working with Stephanie on various projects always feels like you’re working with an old friend. We need more photographers like her in community.”

- Lauren Schumacher, Producer, Los Angeles Magazine

“When we work together on shoots… the energy flows effortlessly throughout the day. Stephanie has been able to take my vision for our company to the next level, creating more beauty and storytelling than I could have even imagined.”
