A Little About Me!

Hi Everybody!

What an amazing time we’re having with the new launch of the Flirt Intimates! The response has been so crazy and we’re trying to keep in touch with everyone who emails or calls us.

In all of the craziness, I wanted to take a second and introduce myself on the blog. My name is Stephanie and I'm the principal photographer for Flirt. I’m a very proud mother of four and I’m so blessed to be able to do what I love every day.

I really love photography and the way it can make people feel. I started photographing my own children and then other people asked me to photograph their children and before I knew it, I had not only a new passion but also a new career. Eventually I held my breath, quit my job as a medical transcriptionist and went full time as a professional photographer.

Since then, I’ve had a chance to study with some of the best photographers around. Jerry Ghionis, a noted celebrity photographer who shoots fashion, is someone I really enjoy because he can make women look and feel beautiful. I’ve made a lot of friends along the way and have found that photographers are a great community of people who share together and support each other.

I also have a passion for fashion! (and a new addiction to True Religion Jeans!) And often as I read Vogue or Elle magazine, I’ll go between choosing the clothes I love and looking at the way the model was photographed.

I thought it would be fun to do a random list of ten things about me:

1. I love to type! I took a Facebook test and found out I can type faster than 98% of Facebook! LOL!
2. I am a night owl and I love to work late at night – that’s when my energy comes.
3. I love loud music. I turn it up when I’m in the car alone. Boom – Boom – Boom!
4. I love my scruffy little dog Gracie and her scruffy ears. Awww…
5. My first job was at Baskin Robbins and I love Pralines and Cream ice cream. I was in love with Daiquiri Ice until they stopped making it – what a complete travesty!
6. I love sour candy, especially sour gum!
7. I might be a teeny, tiny bit of a fast driver. I have a need for speed!
8. I love to read and most recently enjoyed reading the Twilight books with my daughter.
9. One of my favorite places to shop is the Coach store. No matter how many purses I have, I can always find another one that is a necessity! Also, rain boots, belts, scarves, etc…
10. I love facebook and I’m a total admitted blog-a-holic!

And now to put my name with a face... here are a couple of pictures taken last week during my very first trip to New York City where I went to shoot a cool engagement session! It was awesome!
