"You can really tell he loves what he does
because he is so responsive, gives so much helpful information, and puts your comfort above all else. I chose to do a session as a wedding gift to my husband, and Stephen was so enthusiastic about creating the bridal looks and making sure it was both an enjoyable experience for me and also coincided with the vision I had. During the session, I was a little nervous at first but Stephen did a great job easing my nerves and helping me feel confident….Not only was it such an empowering experience for me and helped me get out of my shell, but it is something that both my husband and I can keep and cherish forever. I truly believe every woman should have a boudoir shoot at least once in their life and I'm so glad I hired Stephen for mine!"

I'm your hype man

Hey, I'm Stephen. I'm a husband, a dad, a son, a brother, a friend, a dog lover, a fitness enthusiast, an artist, a dry humor enthusiast, and a technology nerd. I like getting stamps in my passport and being a goofball. I know what you're thinking. A dude taking boudoir photos, what?! Yep, and I'm pretty good at it.

"I love every picture he took, and the photo book he put together to give to my husband was way beyond my expectations. This was a life-changing experience for me. I gained a new level of self-confidence, which I will be forever grateful for.”
"We cracked jokes and chatted during the shoot and had fun with the music. He is seriously the best to work with and I highly highly recommend him to anyone.”

Clients choose me because my perspective shapes the art. Your portraits will be sexy—obviously—but not as a product of the “male gaze.” I’m photographing as an artist—capturing your sensuality, aesthetic, and personality in a way that feels true to you. During your portrait experience, it’s all about you: how you want to see yourself, how I help you project confidence, and your comfort level. My ultimate goal is for you to look at your photos and say “holy shit, that's me?!"

 

Yes, it’s all you. My mission is to deliver cozy, classy, and -- of course -- sexy images that you'll cherish. It's the real you, just a little bit amplified, and never over-processed.​

"He helped me see myself in a way that l've always wanted to. Even though this gift was originally for my husband, it became a gift of self-confidence and love for myself…. | 100000000000% recommend him and would go back within a heartbeat!”

My love for boudoir photography is rooted in my own experiences in learning how to appreciate myself.

I've been on both sides of the boudoir lens.

I’m no model – I’m just a man on his own journey

of self-discovery, like everyone else.

I loved the way my own photos made

me feel as a man and as a human being.​​​​​​​​​​​

Set aside whatever you think the world demands of you, and appreciate yourself in your boudoir portrait session. It’s an inspiring, confidence-boosting, and client-focused experience.

"Stephen made me
feel so comfortable and confident, especially after having my son and adjusting to this new postpartum body.”

“Stephen was one of the first boudoir photographers I worked with and I'm so glad I did!
I have had such a great experience every time we have worked together. He is very professional and easy to work with. We always have a good time during our sets. He communicates very well and always makes me feel comfortable. Would highly recommend booking with him."
