LOOK like yourself.
Feel like yourself.
Personal branding, headshots and modern portrait photography for people who are ready to be seen.
An award-winning luxury portrait studio in East Providence, Rhode Island serving clients throughout New England.
You don’t need to know how to pose. That’s my job.
Most people feel a little awkward in front of the camera. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to arrive knowing what to wear, how to stand, or what to do with your hands during a shoot.
From wardrobe styling and hair and makeup to natural direction throughout your shoot, my team and I take care of the details so you can relax and enjoy the full service experience.
I’ll guide you every step of the way, bringing out expressions and moments that feel natural, confident, and completely you.
No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just beautiful photographs that feel and look and feel like YOU.
Meet StepH
For more than 25 years, I've had the pleasure of photographing entrepreneurs, executives, artists, and people celebrating important moments in their lives.
With a documentary and photojournalism background, what I love most is getting to know the person in front of my camera. Everyone has a story, and I enjoy finding ways to bring out the personality, confidence, and little details that make someone who they are.
My goal is simple: to make the experience enjoyable and create photographs that feel like you.
I photograph people who don't necessarily love being photographed.

“The entire experience from my pre-session consultation to the photo session was really phenomenal. Steph was so intentional in her approach, made the process easy, and was also fun to work with! "
Laura C., PERSONAL BRANDING SESSION

“My photography session with Stephanie was to celebrate my move forward, my move away from grief and sadness, and the ability to embrace being "alone". And the ability to take a risk. To go for it!"
Robin Barret Wilson, PERSONAL BRANDING SESSION
-
“When I needed branding photos, I traveled 2,500 miles to work with Steph! She works her magic three ways: conveys the essence of her subjects, makes people feel at ease so every shot looks natural, and she is a creative collaborator.
Wendy L., PERSONAL BRANDING, 40 OVER 40, & “AS I AM” Sessions
