Meet the Artist

Hi,

I'm Stephanie.

I'm a photographer, storyteller, and dog mama — based in San Antonio and always drawn to the beauty in the quiet, in-between moments.

Photography has been my anchor. It slows down time, helps me breathe, and invites me to notice the light — even when life feels heavy. It’s more than a career; it’s been part of my healing, my becoming.

The Story Behind "Steph and Lady"

My business is named after my first dog, Lady — my soul companion for 18 beautiful years. She was with me through it all: college, heartbreaks, international adventures, and my very first photography jobs.

Now, her legacy lives on through the heart of this work. And her spirit is still here… usually curled up beside my other sweet pup, Bella.

A Journey Through Challenges

In 2018, I was navigating intense anxiety. It was hard to leave the house, hard to do the simple things. But photography kept calling me — and I kept showing up. Slowly, gently, it brought me back to myself.

Looking through the lens became a form of presence, and eventually, a kind of prayer. I learned to see beauty in the messy, mundane, and magical all at once.

My Approach

Whether I’m photographing a couple, a family, or a mother-to-be… I’m here for the unposed moments. The quiet joy. The wild-hearted love.

I believe the most honest stories live in the spaces between: the breath before “I do,” the softness of a mama’s hands, the laughter around a dinner table.

I photograph real people in real light — and I treat every session like a collaboration, not a performance.
