Ok, ok, ok.... I may have gone a little crazy with this session, but I am #notsorry!!! This young woman is an #inspiration in my life and so many others. It was truly my honor to photograph her. She is fierce, intense, sweet, funny, excitable, patient and all around wonderful! I will be sharing soooooooooo many images from her session, but hopefully you won't get tired of them, I know I don't!!! Tell me about someone who inspires you and tag them! Maybe we can do a session to show off how awesome they are too!!!

This sweet girl!!!! OMG. Look at that #smile! Would you believe me if I told you that she was so shy and nervous and sweet? If I have said it once, I have said it a million times.....it doesn't matter if you are nervous, camera shy, or awkward. I GOT YOU! #Igotyou I feel awkward in front of the camera too, but that doesn't mean you can't have GREAT photos. Even if you think you are not #photogenic, it's probably because you haven't had a very good photographer. 😳😬😬😬 Yeah, I said it and I meant it. #sorrynotsorry
But if you're nervous, camera shy, unphotogenic and #awkward let's chat ok????

#Promseason is always SO MUCH FUN!!! This girl was living her best life and we snapped📸 some amazing photos! From serious #model face like this one, to giggles and scrunchy face laughs to detail shots, we did it all and in record time. ⏱ It was windy 💨 and cold 🥶, but we used the wind to make her look awesome because sometimes you just gotta #gowiththeflow

Families are made up of pieces that fit together like a beautiful #puzzle. Individuals become couples, and couples can make families. I honor and photograph every combination I can during #familysessions because each piece, each person, is valuable on their own, and with each other. #Wegotogether
#breakoutsessions are often even more fun as we let personalities and relationships shine!

Family is a foundation. Some of us have good ones, some have bad ones but we all start building from there. Extended family sessions are such an honor to photograph because you can see the love and care that has gone into building a strong foundation for each generation. You can see the ability to bring others in and love them like your own. It is a true marvel to witness. I was beyond #blessed by this sweet family. Breakouts of the smaller family units and couples, plus one big family photo to showcase their love for one another.... and honestly... look at these two!!! Aren't they #adorable?! No matter who thinks it won't work, which kid "never smiles" or how hesitant dad is, #trustme we can get you photos that you will cherish for many years and generations to come.

SO many women have been body shamed and made to feel inferior...and that is the real shame. I am here to tell you that you are #BEAUTIFUL. You are #STRONG. You are #ENOUGH. You are #WORTHY. #YOUARE
Sometimes we need a little help by seeing ourselves the way others see us and THAT is why I love to do boudoir photography for women. I want to show you your own strength, courage, resilience and beauty. Darling, no matter how hesitant you are, #trustme you won't regret one of these sessions with me.
It doesn't matter if you have reminders of your children, excess weight you can't get rid of, loose skin.... it doesn't matter what your problem area is ( you don't really have one, but there is usually at least one that you are self-conscious about... I don't like the side profile of my nose #funfact )
I am here for you whether you want to show it all, or hide it all!!! 😅
Let's open your eyes!

From senior grad sessions to boudoir and dating, from engagements and weddings to babies and family whatever stage of life you are in, you are WORTHY. You are ENOUGH. You should be CELEBRATED. I would be honored to learn more of your story and help you tell it with images that you can share and cherish for a lifetime.

Senior or graduation sessions are always some of my favorites to shoot. Talking with these young people, getting to know them, their dreams, their humor and how they want to leave a mark on this world is ALWAYS a blessing. Thank you to @coastal.academy continuing to trust me to capture their seniors each year!

Wrapped up the MOST FUN Senior session this evening.
Can't wait to share these photos with you all!!! It was a dream come true!
Shout out to @ellislinehan and @bluejay_320 for shooting with me and keeping it running smoothly... we had some good laughs!
Shout out to @anngenuth and Stef H for all of their help coordinating and toting us all about!
Truly so blessed to do these each year for @coastal.academy
On location today, and what an adventure it was! I can't wait to share the photos from this gallery 😍
I love checking out new spots, and this was definitely a new one for me. I am thankful to work with such fun and cool people to take me to places like this!!

Senior Sessions are so much fun for so many reasons, but mostly because it is a joy and a privilege to get to know someone as they get to know themselves.

Y'all I cannot get over this one and I don't want to! It's so cute and playful at the same time. There's a lot of misconceptions about boudoir photography and I am happy to chat about it all! 😊 Ask me some questions.

Although I wouldn't crop it this way, I am in love with this photo 😍 💕
These two and their sweet son 💙 are just the cutest to photograph. Their love for one another is so plain to see 👀
I mean, c'mon! We all want someone to look at us the way Pat is looking at Melisa in this photo! And those of us that have it, boy, do we know it's a blessing! 🙌

Family photo with family pet included? No problemo! My pets have always been family too 😉
This was such a fun time with this family. Their girls remind me of my boys and it was so fun to see them shine their individual lights but also see how they all interacted with one another.
My favorite thing about family sessions are the breakouts where I capture all the combinations of people so we can showcase each very special relationship. The joy this gallery brings me is immense, so I know it does for them too (I've heard rumor about a special piece on their mantle) and that was the goal (plus Christmas card photo)

Yall... I've been slacking on posting, so I am gonna try to bring you more and more photos!!
These ladies are the absolute cutest, especially together! We always nail their shoot!
The smiles and the giggles are just my favorite!

Oh this bride.... she is all the things you 💕 dream of. As a friend, family member and now as a wife, Randi is one of the sweetest, smartest, and most resourceful/helpful people I know. We are all blessed to know her and their wedding was proof of that.

Stephanie Nicole Photography is always expanding and growing, so that I can best serve you, my wonderful clients! I have a love for making people feel great and remember why they feel that way through photos. The logical next step is one I've wanted for a while now.... boudoir photography!!! Don't panic. It's not crazy. It is just another way of helping people love their bodies and each other. So if you have any interest or know anyone who might want to take this step, I would love to chat!
Side note: these photos can make an excellent gift for your spouse 💕
Grad season is always such fun! Candids of natural smiles 😁are the best. It takes the right #photographer 📷 who understands how it feels to be on the other end, the vision you have and the feelings involved to get it right. ✅

Can he DNA on a graduation cap? Yes he can!
@justindaueryoyos you are remarkable; a truly impressive young man! Congratulations on being an all 🌟 star on the stage and in the classroom! I had a blast with you (even if I was mildly distracted) and am truly honored to be chosen as your graduation photographer. 🙏
@mommayoyos I know you are proud of this guy! 👏 And with great reason. He is going places!

Teen guys are known for NOT wanting to do anything but what they want to do, but did you also know they can LIGHT UP a camera with their smile???
Photo shoots can be miserable if you don't have a photographer who understands being on the other side of the lens. Those who do, quickly learn how to capture genuine smiles from even the "toughest" clients.
Want to know how? Book a session with me and watch me work!

Has the senior in your life done their #seniorportraits yet?
I love doing these because there is always so much personality to be shown as these young people close one chapter and begin another 📖 in the story of their life.
What a momentous occasion to mark with photos!

I love senior season!!! I could do these all day!!
Teenagers have so much to offer and so much to learn simultaneously. Don't we all?
This is Abby. Budding photographer, avid 🐎 horse rider, farmer and businesswoman. Sweet and smart all rolled into one. Look out 🌎 world! Here she comes!

This girl! Her smile lights up the room. She is quiet and kind too. She is going places... I already know. It was truly my honor to capture a few of her gorgeous smiles and even a couple serious ones :)

Omg! This family session was TOP NOTCH. Families with littles usually are, but each kid brings something different to the table and exploring their personalities as we go is so rewarding!!! I literally had a BLAST 💥 doing this (more on that soon) ;)

Whether you want kiddo portraits, just dad profiles, generational photos or a full family shoot, we will find a way to honor that special dad in your life! I have limited availability to get these delivered by Father's Day, so message me ASAP!!!
#naturallightphotography #ocphotographer #laphotographer #lovewhatyoudo #southbay #familyphotography #portrait #dadsofinstagram #fathersdaygifts
Family is meant to teach us so many amazing lessons. They can bring us joy unmatched! Or sorrow unrivaled. But special moments should be captured for you to treasure in the tough times. Remember your Littles as little ones. Remember your parents. Pictures help us remember. And rememberance is a special thing.....especially today! You never know what tomorrow may bring.

Anticipation. Yearning. Praying. Waiting. Hoping. Celebrating! Can't wait to one day meet this sweet soul, face to face.

There's joy, hope and faith in waiting. You just gotta find it. Sometimes it's easy. Other times, you find anxiety, impatience and/or fear first. You choose. Be brave and bold in waiting. Be still in waiting. Be joyful in waiting. No matter how long it takes, because,much like fruit that needs to ripen, when the waiting is done, the prize will be that much sweeter!

Deuteronomy 4:9 "Do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and your children's children." Generations are a special kind of beauty. So many things happen as we age. We watch new generations rise! Supposedly, you get wiser! Filters? No need! Whatever it is about aging that gets you, remember those who came before you. Honor them. Hold those that are still around near!

As I took these photos, there was a group of people that were just marveling at the love between these two! They made comments like "Look at them, you can tell they just love each other!" "That's what real love looks like bro" "Awww, look at them, they're so in love" and of course they asked if this lovely couple was engaged, we said yes! And they about died! They couldn't handle the cuteness! Life goals for anyone?

It's the perfect time to start booking for your Christmas card photos! Fall is beautiful and there's so many great holidays in the next few months, why not celebrate with family photos to show and share with everyone as you gather?

I hate the"school picture smile" that everyone gives when you say smile, so I do everything and anything to get those genuine laughs and giggles from everyone! I spent literally 5 minutes with this family and captured some awesome moments!

Been slacking on my posting, so expect to see more soon... but I had to start with this! This session was perfect in so many ways! And I am in love with this photo from their sneak peek! Moms everywhere, HEAR ME! You can have adorable family photos. This little one had no nap, barely any lunch and spilled milk on his pants on the way to the session! But you don't see any of that in these photos! I love giving that belief back to moms of littles! They're so squirrelly and moody but photography is about capturing a single moment at a time. Believe in yourselves mamas! It can happen for you too!

Fires and smoke are not a good thing, but the sunsets they can produce are simply stunning. I had to take one and I'm still kinda on awe that this is mine!

It's all in the details!
Can I confess that I'm more than a little OCD about most things? I have a process and a why for dang near everything I do. I'm a little too proud when I see my son exhibit similar qualities (as inconvenient as it can be at times). Life doesn't always make sense but sometimes it's nice to look at the forest, and other times it's about a single dew drop in the morning!
Anybody else see their kids exhibit your tendencies?

It's officially a nest again!
This mama has waited over 3 months to put this sign up!
My husband and I crafted this beauty for our son from the palette wood that his crib came on! My design and hubbies skills and manpower plus a little finesse and teamwork= my favorite piece of decor in the house.
#mamabirdormamabear #nesting #noplacelikehome
What the world needs now is love sweet love!
These two are engaged and it shows! Other people at the beach were dying from adorableness and congratulating them again and again! I even heard one person say "Look at that! Now that's love right there! Look at them! They love each other"
I loved capturing these moments!
