“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this.”

Hi, I'm Stephanie, a wandering and adventurous spirit, full of laughter and curiosity and life...
mom of three free and wild souls...and owner of Silver Glass Photography based in Tampa, Florida.
I began this journey following the light, and it's still something I strive towards
every single moment I pick up my camera, my artist's brush. ♥
From the time my tiny hands were just big enough to hold a camera I was chasing people around with it. My fascination with relationships, with people and all the facets of what makes them who they are, is the biggest part of my love for photography. Who are you? What makes you laugh? Why do you smile? What brings you to tears or makes your heart melt? The past, the present, and the future all merge into one moment of life, love, and joy in a photograph.
Let's capture that moment for you: a memory, a gorgeous piece of art, that will last lifetimes...an image that you can tell stories with, over and over again, passed down through generations. Every time you pass your photographs in your home you will remember that perfect and imperfect moment in time. Isn't that what life is? It's perfect in all its imperfection, every moment leading us to be who we are meant to become.
I want the moments I capture for you to reflect that special part of who you are, who your family is, where you are right now at this moment of your journey. We will spend time together and it will feel like capturing forever in such a short time, but we will laugh like crazy, smile until our faces hurt, be awkward, be silly, be full of love, be still, and just LIVE in our most perfect, imperfect moments.

I will be there every step of the way: to help you know what to wear, how to prepare for your session, how to let go to truly enjoy the time you spend getting your photos done, and what you want to put in your home when your art is finished to perfection for you. I will walk through this "crazy" thing with you...trust me when I say, I get it. I've gotten crazy, stressed, and worried about the same things you do when getting OUR family photos done. The final product will be so worth it in the end, those beautiful moments captured forever.
Just relax, be yourself, and I will take care of capturing your spirits in every truest moment of life. ♥
I want to put your photographs in your hands and on your walls for you to smile at, laugh at, and tell stories about. I work with exclusive, professional printing companies to provide you with heirloom, archival quality prints that you can treasure for a lifetime. I know it's so tempting to just ask for a USB or an online gallery that will end up somewhere in a drawer or on a computer, never being enjoyed by your family, but I want you to be able to take those photos out all the time to remember what your life was in that fleeting moment...a priceless gift.
I really love my job: to capture precious memories for you and let you feel how easy it can be to just enjoy yourself in the moment.
