Photography is a passion of mine. Looking through my first few albums of my childhood: I was 14 years old photographing my cousin and sister blowing chewing gum bubbles; Then I was 15 or 16 photographing the silliness of my best friends hair dyed pink – by accident; I was 18 photographing my friends walking down the halls of school carrying their backpacks.
I loved the camera, I loved taking the photographs and freezing our moments, making us forever young. Almost 20 years later here I am, still holding the camera, still excited about photography and still documenting life in every way I can.
During those early years, I discovered Ruth Bernhard and Edward and Brett Weston, who I still try and emulate when shooting my own black and white creative portraiture. I love the artistry and abstraction that portraiture can provide. Creative portraiture can be innocent, sexy, exotic and beautiful all at once.
I love the freshness of candid and photojournalism photography as well: The life that jumps out of a photograph of a child doing what they do best, laughing or crying; Exploring and loving the world around them; Capturing the most intimate moment between a bride and groom during their first dance; Celebrating the new life two people have created and forever materializing the pregnant mom’s glow (and growing abdomen!); Cherishing every little roll, foot, bum and tiny, oh so tiny, little fingers of a newborn baby.
All of life’s most precious moments are gone in a blink of an eye. These are what make photography my passion and my love. To make time stop so that when we look back at our memories we can laugh, cry, sigh and catch our breath all over again. To me, photography is capturing the beauty, intimacy, reflection and spirit of life and what makes it so wonderful 100 years from now.

Steffani, I just wanted to thank you for the great photo shoot we had recently! I must admit that I was a bit nervous at first, since I requested photos with almost no clothing on. However, you made me feel TOTALLY comfortable, and the pictures were very tasteful! Thank you so much for your professional attitude, expert eye, attention to detail, and the ability to make me feel comfortable! The pictures were absolutely gorgeous, and you were able to capture the best of me! In the future, I will definitely refer my family and friends to you!
Thanks again and take care!
My experience with Steffani was more than pleasant. My husband and I had her photograph our fall wedding. Being a stressful event with planning, it was a pleasure to not have to worry about our photographers. Steffani and her husband captured all emotions and events of our wedding. You look at our memory book and you see the nervousness of everyone before the wedding and then the emotion during and after the ceremony; to the excitement and happiness during the reception. Because all the emotion is captured, we relive our feelings of that day every time we look back at our pictures. The other thing that I appreciated was they took the time to focus on our decorations and the abstract imaging of items we had not thought about photographing. Those pictures when added to your album help set the mood of your event, and enhance our memories. I would recommend In a Different Light Photography to anyone who asks, and will use this company again for any future events.
Steffani is very professional. She shows up on time and has good presentation. Her equipment is up to date and versatile. She adapts to various types of shoots, from intimate pregnancy photos to fun baby photos. She's able to capture the moment and mood. I would definitely recommend her.
I had an idea of the type of pictures that I wanted to have done, but was unsure of how to do them. Steffani was able to provide me with creative ideas for poses and backgrounds. She put many long hours into the photo project and worked with me to be sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted and was paying for!! The final project turned out beautifully and all that were involved were quite pleased.
I truly enjoyed working with you. I loved my pictures. Thanks so much for the beautiful pictures and such a wonderful experience on Tuesday. I really had fun doing the shoot. I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule.
I got the proofs and the pics look great! You captured some of my favorite expressions of Dylan that I know I'll be happy to have as he gets older. You were such a pleasure to work with & I'm hoping we can do it again.
I am SO happy with the quality & service I got from In A Different Light Photography. Steffani & her husband, Tony, took such gorgeous photographs, and really captured the emotions of my wedding day. They even turned a picture of my bridesmaids & I walking across the grass into a special, and beautiful moment of reflection. I was also very pleasantly surprised in the time I received my pictures to review for my proof & coffee table book! I have had friends and family who waited quite a while, but Steffani, being the professional she is, had them to me within a month!
I will highly recommend In A Different Light Photography to anyone needing professional photography with a personal touch!
