telling stories one frame at a time
Serving the greater Indianapolis Metro area by telling your stories of your family, right now.
Hi, I’m Stephen
Crumbs on the floor, dance parties, tantrums, snuggling and watching TV…
These are what ordinary days are made of.
These things may seem inconsequential, but one day we will look back and realize these were the days that made us, our families, our children into who we are today. We will long for these memories, to hear our children's so-adorable-it-makes-you-cry 3-year old voices.
The fact that these days are ordinary is exactly what makes them glorious. As a dad of 3, I know and live the sweet joy of these moments just like you do.
There is glory in the ordinary, and I want to help you capture that story, forever.

“Working with Stephen was so fun and easy. He did a great job helping our family feel natural throughout the recording process and asked us a lot about what our normal life looks like to be able to capture it as genuinely as possible. Because of this, the final product was not only incredibly professional, but also very meaningful and personal to us. This video is something we'll cherish for decades!”

The O'Brien Family
“We had a wonderful experience working with Stephen! He was professional and patient, while still making the session fun and relaxed. He captured a great mix of family and maternity photos, and worked so well with our toddler, who is usually very camera shy. We ended up with so many beautiful shots and would definitely work with him again!”

The Campbell Family
We benefitted from Stephen’s talents first as we prepared to welcome our third child and then again days after he arrived. Stephen was reliable, professional and his presence kept our family comfortable and at ease as we interacted with each other. The value of preserving those special moments of “before” and “after” is immeasurable and will be cherished evermore as our kids age and grow! Stephen really does help a mother with one of her greatest wishes - to freeze time - in the form of these highlight reels!”
Let’s work together!
We all want to make quality investments in life. Family Films and photos are ones that will last a lifetime that you can relive again and again. Let’s answer some questions and schedule a shoot!
