Boudoir | Kristie N

"I was nervous AF heading to my boudoir session but once I walked in I immediately felt welcomed by Steph and her glam squad. With a little help from a couple mimosas, delicious croissants and an incredible pep talk of how I’m going to slay this, I was ready to go.

I’ve never felt truly beautiful in my own skin and it’s even more awkward showing off in front of a camera. Steph reassured me it’s totally normal to feel this way. She played the most badass feel good music and yelled a few “YAS QUEEN”s behind that camera, and before I knew it, I was Ariana Grande posing all over that room like nothing can break me.

I felt EMPOWERED. I felt on top of the world. By the end, I realized this wasn’t just a “body” photo shoot, it was a shoot to show myself I AM BEAUTIFUL. Steph knows that and wants you to know it too. She brings that powerful side of you out, reminding you it has been there this whole time. She sees your heart and not how many rolls you have on your stomach. She captures pure beauty; the beauty that’s been there this. whole. time."

Becca + Neal | Cape May, New Jersey

t h e s t o r y o f b e c c a a n d n e a l

Despite growing up in neighboring towns, Neal and Becca orbited each other for years before finding one another. With mutual friends throughout high school, Neal and Becca only knew of one another long before developing their own friendship. This began to bloom after graduation, during summers between college semesters. Neal first caught Becca’s eye as having the potential of being more than a friend at a pool party, where she was heard to remark, “...and who knew Neal had a bod?”. 

After graduating college and returning to their hometowns, Becca and Neal spent nearly every day together, their romance growing slowly and naturally from their strong commitment of friendship. Now after over ten years, the bonds of their love and friendship remain stronger than ever -- fortified by their long history celebrating victories and sustaining each other through tragedy.

Adriana + Shane | Talula's Garden, Philadelphia

t h e s t o r y o f a d r i a n a a n d s h a n e

Shane had seen Adriana around - on Wilder Bowl, at the Feve, at parties.  Adriana, meanwhile, did not know Shane existed.  

But Shane was undeterred!  

After a series of failed attempts at catching her eye, he did something that, dear reader, is sure to surprise: he danced with her (or at least tried to).  As Adriana tells it, she looked at Shane nervously approximating rhythm, and decided that, while the boy can’t dance, the face is cute enough - he’ll do.

Since then, they’ve moved to and from California, and bought their first home in Philadelphia.  They’ve added to their little family (good girl, Almond), and pursued careers they chose and value. And they’ve explored the Virgin Islands, the Pacific coast, Mexico City, and each other.  

They have grown tall and strong because they share the same roots.  They are sheltered from the storm because they share the same roof. And because they do, they share the same love: deep, mindful, joyful.
