I’m Stephanie, a wedding + lifestyle photographer based in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Warrenton, Virginia. Whether I’m by the mountains of Colorado or Virginia, my soul feels at home, surrounded by rural living and the raw beauty of nature.

Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

What a week/weekend! Since returning from the beach 1.5 weeks ago, I have had to lock myself in my house to get computer work done. Just last week, I edited about 3,100 photos … talk about a “WHEW” moment! This week, I have about 2,000 to edit, a presentation to prep for Saturday’s workshop with Lieb Photographic, final meetings, daily emails and misc. tasks before taking off to Cape Cod next week. Guess it’s another “lock myself inside my house” kind of week. I’m just making up the hours I’m missing out next week when I’m in MA. 😉 Speaking of Cape Cod, MA, I just looked up the “sharktivity” and let’s just say I won’t be getting into the water… I don’t want to experience Jaws! After all, Jaws was filmed there at Martha’s Vineyard! I’ll be doing a lot of biking to lighthouses, ferry rides to islands and camping! Excited to put technology away during that time to explore Massachusetts!

I had the privilege of photographing a sweet couple’s wedding, Rob and Kim, on Saturday and cannot wait to share their special moments this week! GO DUKES!!!!

I also had the privilege of photographing Tim and Morgan’s sunrise engagement session! What a great way to start off the week! This photo reminds me of a classic black and white photo. They are just the cutest!!! Cannot wait to share their love story as well as their engagement photos on the blog tomorrow!

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!
