I am Stephanie Nicosia-Vannatta
Becoming a photographer is a dream I’ve carried since I was young, and I’m so glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way to my site, chances are you’re looking to capture something meaningful, and I’d love to be the one to do that for you.
I’m patient, a little goofy, and big on making you feel comfortable. I’ll hype you up when you need it, guide you when you don’t know what to do My goal is simple: create a spacewhere you feel confident, present, and fully yourself, so we can capture moments that actually feel like you.

She found us the most amazing location & took gorgeous photos! From pre planning the best areas, to dealing with the little boys complaints with humor, Stephanie really did it all! Will definitely book another session with Stephanie!"
