When not shooting on assignment, Stephanie enjoys diving into personal projects where she can freely concept, art direct, and shoot in collaboration with others.

In this particular shoot, Stephanie knew she wanted non-binary model Rocco in front of her lens in a location that would be colorful, seductive, and mysterious, but also with a light and airy feel. Stephanie contacted a make-up artist, Ashley Smith, and stylist, Rachael Levine, who also hand makes a beautiful array of clothes under the label ARAE. Together they created these images full of color, texture, and mood.
