Memoirs of Steph

Minimalist

Here's several galleries I combined for a theme gallery "Minimalist" focusing on her form, fitness, in a simple, desaturated, low key setting.

12 Years Ago & Some Change

We are making some moves towards some change today. After over a year of debating, Steph may be working with me full time doing camera work and editing. It’s a scary process, but I think it’ll be a good move.

Also I was reminded of 12 years ago this month as she was preparing to go overseas. She’s a totally different person in terms of growth but the same amazing person overall. 2023-06-09 23:31:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Gold

One of our first shoots with body paint back in 2020. I was proud of my work... what do you think?

What’s on my Camera Roll

Past 12 hours…There’s more lol

Yesterday’s Casual Shots

We got some new lingerie looks in. I’m not very happy with them. I told her brighter colors are not her style. But she’s still pretty to look at.

Dream on a Beach

Another addition to the gallery "Dune"

Black Pearl

Additional edits to this gallery named for her pirate shirt lol. The sunset was nice but I needed a strobe to compensate and to keep the orange sky exposed properly. 

If you can't tell she was freezing cold. This was early March of this year out in the OBX. It was warm most of the days except this day. 

What Would You Like?

Is there any particular request for additional looks to a previous project? Someone asked to see more from the Aurora shoot so I will work on that. Anything else?

Self Portraits

I got tied up with work today. And missed our planned shoot we had. (I hate when that happens)

She took it in herself to do another self portrait series. She sent me 25 photos and videos I got to go through but here’s a preview.

She always involves plants with her self portraits lol.

Forest Fairy

An addition to one of my top 10 favorite galleries of Steph. What would you name this photo, or what is the narrative?

Update: I ended up finding several more shots that I liked, adding them to the gallery. I liked the idea you all had of her being captured or consumed by the forest... 

Photos from the week.

No professional shots here just her in her casual state.

Shooting today! Thanks for all the ideas.

Any Requests

We are photographing tomorrow some open concepts in our house. Any ideas?

Blank Canvas Part 2

I added some more clips to this peaceful montage. She really is beautiful person to be around.

Do you like this swimsuit?

Yellow

An unedited test shot from the shoot "Black and Yellow"

We got some new looks on the way that will be exclusive to you all. Plus a few looks some of you have recommended. Should be a good month of creating. 

Thank you as always for your support and feedback!

Morning coffee

Day off: Smiles coffee and gym

Rave (Cinematic)

This was a project I featured months back. I just added these new photos to the gallery. I used an old refurbished helios lens from Iron Glass which used an old Soviet produced lens casing. 

Dressing Artsy

I kinda laugh when she gets dressed. Even something as casual as putting on clothes seems to be some artsy pose with her.

Maybe that's just me though?

Color or BNW?

What are your thoughts?

Poolside

Some casual shots in the pool while hanging out in Orlando last year. We were waiting for the clients to arrive, naturally I tested out some shots with Steph. We are headed back to Orlando in a couple weeks. I will make an effort to get more shots of her. 

Vibing on Set

She didn't know I was filming for the undressing portion of the video. What did you think of this shoot? 

Getting Lean

She’s still on the cutting process. How much further should she go? Shes 5’9. Right now she’s 138 lbs in the photos at the end she’s 128-130lbs.

Space Age

The gallery for what I have so far. Does this look work for the lighting? 

Space Age

A quick glance at a few previews from today's shoot. I went heavy on the colors with this one. I'm not sure if it will turn out well yet or not, but she looked great.

Morning Nuisance

I can't help but to mess with her in the mornings. I could just lean over and give her a kiss but thats not as fun.

Do you ever do things like that with your wife or gf?

Sunset Mood

This is a new addition to the gallery "Sunset Mood" back from late 2021. 

I wanted to create a mood using only natural light. The sun sets directly in front of our garage door which has windows. I have put panels over the windows to control the light but will take those panels down for natural light shoots like this.

I have a 20$ fog machine from Party City to help scatter ligh...

Steph back in 2014

I have a whole folder dedicated to my early phone pictures of her. I just couldnt stop taking photos of her...obviously.

 I'd also always demand texts from her too lol. But anyway, would you all be interested in seeing more of her back in 2014-2017 before we knew how to create art? It's fun to look back at where it started.

Some of the posts would have to be top tier or appreci...

Gym Selfie

I always appreciate the gym shots. She’s looking good. I’m looking forward to some swimsuit and beach shoots next month. We are headed to Orlando for a gig I have, I plan on a couple shoots with her while we travel.

Knit Suit

Do you think this look would be good for a photoshoot? 

I made her try it on a few minutes after she woke up so forgive her tired look lol.

Fitness Selfie

Her abs and lower body 😍
