FOR the MEMORIES
Our photos tell stories. But not scary ghost stories. I mean, like, the stories that dreams are made of. Like when the good guys triumph, and the bad guys get caught, and the slightly-nerdy guy captures the heart of the beautiful girl who was completely unaware of said slightly-nerdy guy's feelings for her until the end of the story. And then they ride off together into the sunset on a glorious vacation full of adventure and memories to last a lifetime.. These are the stories we tell.
Like blue jeans, apple pie, and Saturday morning cartoons, we are the real deal. We're the FUNtographers.
Hey There! We're Stephanie & David!
Our story started back in November 2007 when a mutual friend introduced us through email. (Yes, email—before sliding into DMs was a thing!) A few weeks later, on December 17th, we went on our very first date at Disneyland... with Stephanie's mom tagging along. If that doesn't say "meant to be," we're not sure what does!
Just five days later, on December 22nd, we made things official. Fast forward through years of adventures, laughter, and making memories together, and in March 2014 we stood beneath a beautiful wooden cross at Hillcrest Tree Farm in Reedley, California, and said "I do."
Now, you might be wondering, "That's cute and all, but how did photography enter the picture?"
Well, Stephanie has been obsessed with photography for as long as she can remember. She got her first camera in 3rd grade and immediately started documenting life one blurry, off-center photo at a time. Let's just say she's improved a little since then! David has always loved photography too, but his first creative passion was video. As our relationship grew, we realized we shared a love for capturing moments and telling stories.
So naturally, we thought, "Why not do this together?"
We started small around 2008–2009, photographing families, seniors, friends, and anyone willing to step in front of our cameras. Then came a huge milestone: our first wedding in 2010. That was the moment we looked at each other and thought, "Wow... maybe we're really doing this!"
Photography has never been about building a big business for us. It's been—and continues to be—our passion project. It's our creative outlet, our chance to work side-by-side, and our way of preserving the moments that matter most.
We love making kids laugh during sessions (sometimes with questionable peek-a-boo techniques). We love watching families grow and welcoming them back year after year. We love witnessing the joy, happy tears, and excitement as two people promise forever to each other. Most of all, we love knowing that the moments we capture today will become the memories you'll treasure tomorrow.
Whether it's capturing your family's magic in front of our lens or helping you find it at Disney, on a cruise ship, or across the globe, we're passionate about creating moments you'll treasure for a lifetime.
❤️ Stephanie & David

Take a Peek Around!
Ready to see if we're a good fit? 😊
Go ahead and click on any thumbnail to dive into a gallery and get a feel for my style. You'll find lots of real couples, real families, real laughter, and probably a few kids plotting their escape from family photos. 😉
As you browse, pay attention to how the photos make you feel. Can you picture yourself there? Do the images feel natural, joyful, and full of connection? That's exactly what we aim for in every session.
So grab a cup of coffee, get comfy, and click around! There are plenty of beautiful stories waiting for you. Who knows... your gallery might be the next one featured here. 💛✨📸
Family photos are meant to be fun, not stressful! When little ones are involved, we come ready with plenty of patience, silly noises, and an expert-level game of peek-a-boo. 😊
Let's be honest... meltdowns, snack breaks, and spontaneous toddler adventures are all part of the experience, and that's completely okay! Some of the sweetest, most genuine moments happen in between the perfectly posed shots.
My goal is to create a relaxed and playful environment where your family can simply be yourselves. We'll laugh, play, cuddle, run around, and make memories together. And if a meltdown makes an appearance? We'll roll with it, take a breather, and keep the fun going. We promise, we've got this!
The best photos aren't about perfect smiles. They're about capturing your family's unique personality, joy, and connection. 💛
Families
Weddings
Your wedding day should feel like a celebration, not a day-long photoshoot. Our job is to capture all the beautiful moments while helping you stay present and actually enjoy your one of the biggest days of your life.
Need help pinning a boutonniere? I'll do my best. Need someone to fluff a dress, wrangle the wedding party, hold a bouquet, or track down a missing family member for photos? I'm your girl. I've even helped a bride go to the restroom! LOL 😊
We know being in front of a camera can feel a little awkward at first, but don't worry, we'll guide you every step of the way. No stiff poses or forced smiles here. We'll give you just enough direction to help you feel comfortable, then we'll focus on capturing the genuine laughs, happy tears, and all those little moments you didn't even know were happening.
Wedding days rarely go exactly according to plan, and honestly, that's part of the magic. Whether the timeline runs behind, the flower girl decides she's done for the day, or the wind has other plans for your veil, we'll roll with it and make the most of every moment.
At the end of the day, we want your photos to feel like you... joyful, authentic, and full of the love and excitement that made your day so special... just like you are. 💛✨
Engagements
Think of your engagement session as a fun date night that just happens to have a photographer tagging along. 😊
This is our chance to hang out, get to know each other, and help you get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day. No pressure, no awkward prom poses (well, maybe just for fun), and definitely no need to worry about what to do with your hands. We've got you!
We'll walk, laugh, joke around, and maybe even dance a little. We'll give you simple prompts and direction so you never feel lost, but the real magic happens when you relax and focus on each other.
Don't worry about being "photogenic." We can't tell you how many couples show up saying they're awkward in front of the camera, and by the end of the session, they're laughing and having the best time. Our goal is to capture the genuine connection between you two, not force anything that doesn't feel natural.
Whether we're chasing a sunset, exploring your favorite spot, or just enjoying a beautiful evening together, we'll keep things light, fun, and true to who you are as a couple. By the time your wedding day arrives, you'll feel like a total pro... and we'll already feel like old friends. 💛✨
Seniors
Senior year is a big deal, and your photos should be just as unique as you are! This session is all about celebrating your personality, your accomplishments, and the exciting season of life you're stepping into.
Don't worry if you've never had professional photos taken before. You do not need to know how to pose or what to do in front of the camera. That's my job! 😊 We'll guide you every step of the way so you can relax, have fun, and feel confident.
Want to bring your letterman jacket, sports gear, musical instrument, cap and gown, or even your furry best friend? Absolutely! We love incorporating the things that tell your story and showcase what makes you you.
We'll laugh, explore, play your favorite music, and create images that feel natural instead of forced. My goal isn't just to capture how you look, but who you are during this exciting chapter of your life.
So come ready to have fun, be yourself, and maybe even surprise yourself with how much you enjoy being in front of the camera. Together, we'll create photos you'll love now and cherish for years to come. ✨🎓💛
Growing a tiny human is kind of a big deal, and your maternity session is all about celebrating this beautiful, exciting season of life. 💛
First things first, take a deep breath. You do not need to know how to pose, where to put your hands, or how to stand. We've got you! Our job is to help you feel comfortable, confident, and absolutely beautiful in front of the camera.
We'll keep things relaxed and fun, with plenty of movement, laughter, and moments that feel natural. Whether you're glowing, exhausted, emotional, or feeling a little bit of all three, you're exactly where you're supposed to be. This season is real, and I want your photos to reflect that.
Partners, kiddos, and even fur babies are always welcome to join in the fun! Some of our favorite moments happen when little ones are hugging baby bumps, giving surprise kisses, or asking every five minutes when the baby is finally coming. 😊
Most importantly, this session is about slowing down for a moment and celebrating the incredible journey you're on. Before you know it, those tiny kicks will become tiny toes, and these photos will serve as a beautiful reminder of the anticipation, excitement, and love that came before your little one arrived.
Let's capture the magic, the connection, and the joy of this chapter before it becomes the next one. ✨🤍
When it comes to newborn photos, we do things a little differently. 💛
Instead of packing up your brand-new baby and heading to a studio, we come to you. Every newborn session takes place in the comfort of your own home, where everyone can relax and settle into their new rhythm.
Our approach is less about perfectly posed babies in baskets and elaborate props, and more about documenting the beautiful reality of this season. No costumes, no complicated setups, and no pressure for your baby to sleep on cue. Just your family, exactly as you are.
We'll capture the tiny details you'll never want to forget. The way their fingers wrap around yours, the sleepy stretches, the feeding sessions, the snuggles on the couch, and the moments spent simply soaking in this new little person you've brought into the world.
Life with a newborn is often messy, emotional, exhausting, and incredibly beautiful all at the same time. That's the story we want to tell. Rather than creating moments, we focus on documenting them as they naturally unfold.
These sessions have a photojournalistic feel, capturing your family's new chapter in the place where it all begins. Years from now, we want you to look back and remember not just what your baby looked like, but what this season of life felt like.
Because your story doesn't need props or poses to be beautiful. It already is. ✨🤍👶🏻🏠

Locations
Let's talk locations! 🎉
One of the questions we get asked all the time is, "Where should we take our engagement photos?" My answer? Somewhere that feels like you!
Did you fall in love over coffee dates downtown? Let's wander the streets. Love hiking, exploring, and getting a little dirt on your shoes? Let's head to the mountains. Dreaming of a beach sunset and windswept hair? I'm already packing my camera bag. 😊
Your engagement session is basically a fun date where I awkwardly third-wheel with a camera, so let's choose a spot that matches your personalities and tells a little piece of your story.
Need ideas? I've got plenty! These are some of my favorite locations, but don't feel limited to this list. If you've got a spot in mind that isn't listed, let's hear it. I'm always down for an adventure!

And don't worry if you're having a hard time deciding. I can help narrow it down based on your style, outfit choices, and whether you're more sunset-on-a-mountain people or grab-tacos-after-the-session people. 😉
No matter where we go, expect lots of laughs, a little exploring, probably some terrible jokes from Stephanie, and photos that feel like you. The location is just the backdrop. The real magic is the people in front of the camera. 💛✨
If that quote by St. Augustine is true, then I've been trying really hard to turn the page as often as possible.
My travel obsession started when I was 19 and absolutely had to see Steven Curtis Chapman (again) in Las Vegas. I asked my mom if she wanted to go, and she agreed—with one catch: I had to plan the trip myself. What she didn't know was that I had a friend working at the Fresno State travel agency who helped me figure out all the details. I looked like a travel-planning genius, and a traveler was born!
That one trip turned into a lifetime of adventures with my mom. Somewhere along the way, our weekend getaways became epic road trips, and before we knew it, we had checked all 50 states off the list together... and Australia in 2025! Not bad for a mom-and-daughter trip that started with a concert ticket!
While I spent years exploring the U.S., my passport stayed suspiciously empty until 2024. That's when David made good on a promise and took me to Italy for our 10-year anniversary. My first international trip included Italy, Paris, and—because we're us—Disneyland Paris. Apparently I can't travel to a country that has a Disney park without visiting it. It's probably in the fine print somewhere.
These days, if we're not planning a Disney trip, we're probably planning a cruise. We love cruising, and Alaska still holds the top spot as my favorite destination. Give me glaciers, wildlife, and a balcony view, and I'm a happy traveler. Our big travel goals? Visit every Disney park around the world and sail on every Disney ship. Some people collect souvenirs—we collect Disney parks and cruise itineraries.
My love of travel is also why I became a travel agent. I genuinely love helping people create the kind of memories they'll be talking about years from now. Whether it's a Disney vacation, a cruise, a bucket-list trip to Europe, or a long-overdue family getaway, I love turning "We've always wanted to..." into "When do we leave?"
After all, the world has way too many amazing pages left to read.
✈️🌎🏰🚢❤️
Passport disclaimer: Yes, I've been to Mexico and Canada. No, they don't count in this story. As a Californian, those trips felt more like visiting the neighbors than embarking on a grand international adventure. My passport didn't really get its big break until Italy in 2024, and frankly, it's still talking about it. 😂✈️
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.
Just some of my favorite travel photos
Ready to stop dreaming and start planning? Let's do it!
By now, you've probably figured out that we love making memories. Whether it's capturing them through our camera or helping you plan the trip where they happen, our goal is always the same: helping you create moments you'll be talking about years from now—the kind your grandkids will eventually get tired of hearing about.
The good news? There's no one-size-fits-all approach around here.
📸 Photography
Every wedding is different, which is why we offer a variety of wedding photography collections designed to fit different needs, timelines, and budgets. Wedding photography investments typically range from $1,500–$5,500. Whether you're planning an intimate backyard ceremony or the celebration of a lifetime, we'll find a package that's the perfect fit for your day.
Family, maternity, newborn, senior, and just-about-any-other-photo-session-you-can-think-of sessions typically range from $300–$500, depending on family size, location, and the type of session you're looking for. From growing families to annual holiday photos (and everything in between), we'll create something that works for you.
Dreaming of photos in the mountains or by the beach? There may be a travel fee involved, but we'll discuss all of that ahead of time—no surprises.
✈️ Travel Planning
One of my favorite things is helping people plan their next adventure. In most cases, my travel planning services are completely free. If you're booking a Disney vacation, cruise, all-inclusive resort, or other standard vacation package, there's typically no planning fee at all. Pretty awesome, right?
Now, if you're dreaming up a complicated multi-country European adventure with trains, planes, and enough moving parts to make my spreadsheet slightly nervous, I may charge a planning fee to cover the extra research and custom itinerary building. But don't worry—we'll discuss that upfront before any planning begins.
❤️ Ready to Start? Whether you're looking for a photographer, a travel planner, or someone who gets way too excited about Disney parks and cruise itineraries, we'd love to help. So let's chat, dream big, and start planning something amazing together. After all, life's best stories don't happen sitting on the couch—they happen when you book the trip, schedule the photos, and say "yes" to the adventure. ✨📸✈️🚢🏰❤️
